Compiling boost asio 1.50.0 under Xcode 4.3.3 with Clang or GCC and c++11 support
(Below) Is this is known issue, am I missing something, or does the libboost_system.a library need to be compiled differently than the default directions to work with c++11 support? The following code produces linker errors when the compiler options -std=c++11and libc++ are used: #include <iostream> #include <boost/asio.hpp> int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { return 0; } Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "std::allocator<char>::allocator()", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) "std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::basic_string(char const*, std::allocator<char> const&)", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) "std::allocator<char>::~allocator()", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) "std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::basic_string()", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) "std::string::operator=(char const*)", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) "std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::basic_string(std::string const&)", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) "std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::~basic_string()", referenced from: (anonymous namespace)::generic_error_category::message(int) const in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) ___tcf_0 in libboost_system.a(error_code.o) ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This is just a guess, but it looks like you built the boost lib with -stdlib=libc++, and the above code without -stdlib=libc++. Note that both the compile phase and the link phase needs to know about -stdlib=libc++. Howard
Thanks Howard, The default boost build does not include c++11 support, correct? i.e.
./bootstrap --prefix=./standard_build ./b2 install
Is this the correct build parameters to build boost with c++11 support?
./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=clang --prefix=./c++11_build cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" ./b2 install
