Re: [Boost-users] Boost library names

Mark B. wrote:

Hi,

I am trying to use string_algo (specifically split) in my program but I have no idea about which Boost library I have to link to. Library naming in Boost is not very regular. For example, to link to the filesystem classes I have to use -lboost_filesystem, but for linking to uBlas, I have to use -lblas. Thus, the substring "boost" is not necessarily in the library's filename

Can somebody help me?

Thanks!

Hi Mark, The string_algo library is headers only, there's nothing to link against. (Most of the libraries are header-only.) It says so here: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/env.html#id1709621 which isn't right at the top, sadly. I can't speak to the naming conventions part of the question. - Rush
