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! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Boost-library-names-tf4431325.html#a12641735 Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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

Sorry, it also says there that some algorithms depend on the regex library, which is NOT header only. I believe the regex library is libboost_regex.a. - Rush
Thank you so much. I was so concentrated in trying to find a library name that I overlooked that sentence. Fortunately RegEx is easy to locate (because is prefixed with "boost" unlike uBlas) Mark Rush Manbert wrote:

ublas is header-only. You don't need -lblas unless you (or some other library you're using) depends on *the* BLAS, which is the Fortran Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines, not ublas. Andreas

I see :-) Please pardon my ignorance, but with the mess of documentation of Boost it's easy to miss details (I know, I should collaborate in improving it, but I got not time now.) _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Boost-library-names-tf4431325.html#a12647447 Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I believe this is a header-only library. Just include the header. No library to link to.
Thanks!
