[Boost-users] Re: Link problems with boost.serialization

Somethings I forgot to mention, I'm using gcc v3.4.3 with the boost 1.32.0 release. I've recompiled the boost_serialization.a multiple times with no affect on these link errors. Jeffrey Holle wrote:

Now I'm experiencing link problems in attempting to apply boost.serialization to my application.

I can avoid them by commenting out the bodies of all my serialize methods. If I leave a simple serialize method intact, I can run the sucessfully linked application and produce an archive file.

I am linking to this serialization library: $BOOST_ROOT/bin/boost/libs/serialization/build/libboost_serialization.a/gcc/release/runtime-link-static/boost_serialization.a

With all serialization uncommented, I get the following link errors:

What is the solution?
