Linking boost::filesystem on Ubuntu 13.04

问题:

I am trying to link a project to boost:filesystem on Ubuntu 13.04 and I am geting some weird linking errors in the last stage.

The build configuration is done via cmake:

find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem program_options REQUIRED )
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIR})

target_link_libraries(${YARS_TARGET} yarsLib GLEW GL GLU glut m dl xerces-c ode ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

I tried using a different boost version. For 1.49 and 1.53 I have the same behaviour. On Ubuntu 12.04 it does work just dine and on my development machine running Archlinux with boost 1.53 it compiles, links and runs just fine.

回答1:

Just a suggestion:

1)Check that your boost library contains required symbols, you can use something like this: nm -D /usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.52.0 | grep detail | c++filt | grep your names

2)Try to change order of linking library, for example put -lboost_bla-bla-bla to the end of command line, and run this command with g++ again, not use make or something, just copy paste command and make experiments with it.



回答2:

I was facing errors like:

filename.cpp:(.text+0x389): undefined reference to boost::filesystem::detail::status(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::system::error_code*)'
filename.cpp:(.text+0x39c): undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::detail::file_size(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::system::error_code*)'
obj/x86_64/release/filename.cpp.o: In function `readFromFileNotForm(boost::filesystem::path&, char*, unsigned int)':
filename.cpp:(.text+0x1291): undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::detail::status(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::system::error_code*)'
obj/x86_64/release/filename.cpp.o: In function `readFromFileForm(boost::filesystem::path&, std::vector<unsigned int, std::allocator<unsigned int> >&)':
filename.cpp:(.text+0x167a): undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::detail::status(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::system::error_code*)'

Other solutions did not work. I wrote this in my cpp file:

#include "boost/filesystem/v3/operations.hpp"

And the problem went away. I guess, it was not able to include it automatically. I also tried with v2, but that did not work, I had to do v3.
