/usr/include/boost/filesystem/path.hpp:307: undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::path::operator

Viewed 1947

I have some code, when I compile it, I got the following errors, and I don't know how to solve it. I have tried to add -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, -lboost_system and -lboost_filesystem, but I still got the same errors. I don't know how to fix this problem now, if anybody could help?

The related code are as following

bool Agent::openTupleLog()
{
 std::string dir="~/Experiments/Nov/";
 // create the log directory & file path string


try
{
    boost::filesystem::path kaway_log( dir
#if defined(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION) && BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION == 2
#  ifndef BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED
                                       , &boost::filesystem::native

Problem solved.

I asked a friend, he told me to add /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_filesystem.a -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system at the end of the command, then it works. He said:

The order of putting those flags are dependent, and thus I have to move the .a to very end. Then it ask for boost_system and thus I appended -lboost_system for its pleasure.

And note that it's libboost_filesystem.a, not libboost_filesystem.so
