尝试在Mingw中使用boost时出错

Question

when I'm trying to use boost with minGW i get this error:

C:/Users/matan_000/Documents/Programming/c++-libraries/MinGW/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:676: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'

and more like this...

I have included:

C:\\Users\\matan_000\\Documents\\Programming\\c++-libraries\\MinGW\\include

for the compiler include path in codelite idle and included

C:\\Users\\matan_000\\Documents\\Programming\\c++-libraries\\MinGW\\lib

for the linker include path in codelite idle.

Im using

http://nuwen.net/mingw.html

because i had the same error with the official boost, so i thought that way it will work.

but it doesnt work...

PLEASE i need help! im going to give up completely :(

UPDATE

I just fixed it with add "-lboost_system" as compile argument.

And i got new weird error. I fixed it too with add the "-ws2_32" as compile argument too. But i dont what that argument says... And do... If someone can explain me i will thank him :)

Answer 1

To link to the 'boost_system' library you need to provide the path to the boost library with -L flag and the name of the boost system library, eg 'boost_system-mgw53-mt-d-x32-1_67' with the '-l' flag.

If you haven't imported or built the boost libraries for MinGw yet, there are some instructions here: boost_1_60_0 .zip installation in windows . However, please note that you now need to type bootstrap.bat gcc instead of bootstrap.bat mingw ...
