boost iostreams compilation error

Question

this is my compile line:

g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -g -lboost_iostreams cppfile.cpp -o bin

but I have the following error:

I use -lboost_iostreams so I don't understrand why I have this error

Answer 1

You can fix this by putting the linker flag -lboost_iostreams after cppfile.cpp . The order is significant.

Answer 2

#Before all please install zlib library
apt-get install zlib1g
apt-get install zlib1g-dev

#Try to add [ -lz ] option in command line
g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -g -lboost_iostreams -lz cppfile.cpp -o bin

#If mentioned don't work, find exact position of libz.so and add -L option in command line 
g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -g -lboost_iostreams -lz cppfile.cpp -o bin -L/usr/share
