Hi,
I get an error linking the example program days_alive to the shared library
libboost_date_time.
g++ -L/usr/lib -lboost_date_time -odays_alive days_alive.o
days_alive.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9date_time19month_str_to_ushortINS_9gregorian10greg_monthEEEtSs+0xec):
In function `unsigned short
boost::date_time::month_str_to_ushort<boost::gregorian::greg_month>(std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)':
/usr/include/boost/token_functions.hpp:587: undefined reference to
`boost::gregorian::greg_month::get_month_map_ptr()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Platform is FC2
gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)
I built Boost from the SRC RPM boost-1.32.0-3.src.rpm with no special
switches.
I found a comment in the boost mailings advising linking to static library.
This was successful.
Is the general advice to only use the static libraries?
