using asio.hpp - boost::system::generic_category()
Hello, I just started with boost and it is obvious that I do not understand give my compiler (not mentioning code::blocks) the correct instructions. I installed boost_1_61_0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and followed the instruction. So I did (as root after sudo -i) in the directory of boost_1_61_0. I use g++4.9. It was the same with g++4.8. 1) ./bootstrap.sh prefix=/usr/local 2) ./b2 install So the libs are: /usr/local/lib The headers: /usr/include/boost Actually I was interested in some stuff with asio. So I started with this code from the tutorial. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytime... g++ -Wall main.cpp -o zclient /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)': main.cpp:(.text+0x52e): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::generic_category()' main.cpp:(.text+0x53a): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::generic_category()' main.cpp:(.text+0x546): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::system::error_code::error_code()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost6system10error_codeC2Ev[_ZN5boost6system10error_codeC5Ev]+0x17): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::error::get_system_category()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio5error19get_system_categoryEv[_ZN5boost4asio5error19get_system_categoryEv]+0x5): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::~posix_thread()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_threadD2Ev[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_threadD5Ev]+0x26): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_detach' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::join()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread4joinEv[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread4joinEv]+0x2b): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_join' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::start_thread(boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::func_base*)': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread12start_threadEPNS2_9func_baseE[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread12start_threadEPNS2_9func_baseE]+0x29): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_create' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I have to add that the simple programm in the starting guide worked properly http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html... via g++ -Wall main.cpp -o zu It worked in Code::Blocks as well (without any additional information).

Hello,
I just started with boost and it is obvious that I do not understand give my compiler (not mentioning code::blocks) the correct instructions.
I installed boost_1_61_0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and followed the instruction. So I did (as root after sudo -i) in the directory of boost_1_61_0. I use g++4.9. It was the same with g++4.8.
1) ./bootstrap.sh prefix=/usr/local
2) ./b2 install
So the libs are: /usr/local/lib
The headers: /usr/include/boost
Are you sure those are not the system's boost headers? With the prefix set above I expect them to live at /usr/local/include/boost Make sure you don't accidentally mix your custom boost installation's libraries with the system's boost headers. Using gcc/clang use -I for setting include paths and -L for library paths.
Actually I was interested in some stuff with asio. So I started with this code from the tutorial. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/boost_asio/tutorial/tutdaytime...
g++ -Wall main.cpp -o zclient /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)': main.cpp:(.text+0x52e): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::generic_category()' main.cpp:(.text+0x53a): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::generic_category()' main.cpp:(.text+0x546): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::system::error_code::error_code()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost6system10error_codeC2Ev[_ZN5boost6system10error_codeC5Ev]+0x17): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::error::get_system_category()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio5error19get_system_categoryEv[_ZN5boost4asio5error19get_system_categoryEv]+0x5): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `boost::system::system_category()' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::~posix_thread()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_threadD2Ev[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_threadD5Ev]+0x26): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_detach' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::join()': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread4joinEv[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread4joinEv]+0x2b): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_join' /tmp/ccxx7PrW.o: In Funktion `boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::start_thread(boost::asio::detail::posix_thread::func_base*)': main.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread12start_threadEPNS2_9func_baseE[_ZN5boost4asio6detail12posix_thread12start_threadEPNS2_9func_baseE]+0x29): Nicht definierter Verweis auf `pthread_create' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Those are (localized) undefined reference linker errors. If you carefully read them, your linker is unable to find boost system symbols. Link with -lboost_system to fix this.
I have to add that the simple programm in the starting guide worked properly http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html...
via g++ -Wall main.cpp -o zu
It worked in Code::Blocks as well (without any additional information).
Even the second simple programm (same link) I managed to compile giving the full path: g++ -Wall main.cpp -o extractmail /usr/local/lib/libboost_regex.a
At no time I had not to instruct the compiler about the headers. I was wondering. So it must have anything to do with the libs.
Coming back to my asio- example. Do I need libs for it? I guess is has something to do with the expression -lboost_system. I used it without understanding it. But it did not help.

For gcc/clang -I path/to/local/boost/headers sets include paths to look for headers -L path/to/local/boost/libraries sets library paths to look for libraries -lboost_system links libboost_system to your program (note: upper case i vs lower case L above) I'm sure you'll find an equivalent in Code::Blocks.
Thanks
