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:

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!

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.

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.
