Now to the bad news: demo.cpp compiles but does not link with what looks like a thousand symbols missing (archives and serialization stuff).
Seems like i'm missing a library, but which one? and is it supposed to come with the debian package? (I do have all the include files.) I looked but couldn't find a dedicated package for just the serialization library.
There're three mentions of "libboost_serialization" in the archive of this mailing list but not a single word in the current documentation (website or local). Is there some chunk of documentation I'm thoroughly missing?
Yes, the debian documentation. Look at /usr/share/doc/libboost-dev/README.Debian and all will be explained. The debian packages are set up a little differently to the normal boost setup which is why the boost documentation and mailing lists aren't much help here. Daniel
