Linking to Boost thread library fails

Question

I have a serious problem with Boost 1.52.0.

In Eclipse, I always get:

boost/thread/detail/thread.hpp:223: undefined reference to `boost::thread::start_thread()

Of course I'm using lboost_system , and lboost_thread , and lpthread , and lrt , and etc. in the linker library settings.

I'm cross compiling, everything except this is working fine.

What is causing this? How can I investigate? I'm stuck.

Linker command is:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -L"libs" -L"/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib" -o "Logics" ./src/Logics_all.o -lpthread -lsqlite3 -lssl -lcrypto -lrt -lboost_system -lboost_thread

If I run:

nm libboost_thread.so | grep start_thread

I got only:

0000b3f0 T _ZN5boost6thread21start_thread_noexceptERKNS_17thread_attributesE
0000b4b0 T _ZN5boost6thread21start_thread_noexceptEv

Thank you.

Answer 1

It finally succeeeds, I downloaded the whole boost library and rebuilt everything.

Now it compiles without any issues.

Thank you for both of you.
