[boost] how to compile when using read_graphml
Alexandre de Morais Amory
I've been trying to use the function from read_graphml from BGL.
I am using the test case in
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/04/119804.php as my first case
study.
Apparently it compiles ok, but there is a link error. See msg bellow:

I guess there should be some library. Reading the doc in
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/graph/doc/read_graphml.html
it says that the lib "bgl-graphml" should be included, but I don't known
where to find it. At the /usr/lib there is only the files
libboost_graph-mt.a, libboost_graph-mt.so, libboost_graph-mt.so.1.38.0
It seems that the problem is just to correctly define the compilation
command ... any help would be much appreciated.
configuration:
- boost 1.38.0
- ubuntu 9.10 64 bits
- g++ 4.4.1
Thanks!
Alexandre

The library to use is -lboost_graph-mt; note that in Boost 1.38, you must
have Expat installed and set up in Boost.Build to use the GraphML reader.

Thanks Jeremiah,
I am newbie in boost and I don't know how to use boost.build. Is there any
tutorial for it ? I was wondering if the newer version of boost 1.41.0 still
requires setting up boost.build.
I would like just to get the boost from apt-get and start using BGL. :( ...
Am I dreaming ? :)
perhaps the graphviz format is more stable (or with better integration) than
the graphml format ... is it true ? I dont need fancy stuff .. just reading
and writing small and simple graphs.
in other words, is there any quick way of read/write small and simple graphs
with BGL ?
Regards,
Alexandre

The GraphViz and GraphML interfaces are the best way. Check whether your
package for Boost (from apt-get) contains GraphViz support; that should be
in all versions. GraphML may not be there since it relied on Expat until
recently. Otherwise, you can look at
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/index.html for
build instructions.

I finally got the graph io (both graphml and graphviz) working, so, i am
sharing my findings.
It might be obvious for most of you, anyway, it might also be valuable for
newbies in boost and BGL like me.
========================================
installing boost
========================================
- uninstall any old version
- download the latest one (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.41.0/)
- run:
- ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=graph <= one might want to include
other libs as well
- su -
- EXPAT_INCLUDE=/usr/include/ <= required to support graphml format
- EXPAT_LIBPATH=/lib/
- export EXPAT_INCLUDE
- export EXPAT_LIBPATH
- ./bjam install
- cp bin.v2/libs/graph/build/gcc-4.4.1/release/threading-multi/*.o
/usr/local/lib <= required for supporting both graphviz and graphml (If
you download a pre-compiled distribution, these files will not be included
(at least i could not find them), then you will not be able to use graphviz
and graphml)
- LD_RUN_PATH=/user/local/lib; export LD_RUN_PATH
- ldconfig -v
====================================================
how to compile with graphviz
====================================================
- download files attached. These files are not mine, I am just
redistributing for convenience. I have copied these test files from
somewhere. ack to the original author !
g++ graphviz.cpp /usr/local/lib/read_graphviz_new.o -lboost_graph
-lboost_regex -o graphviz
====================================================
how to compile with graphml
====================================================
- download files attached. These files are not mine, I am just
redistributing for convenience. I have copied these test files from
somewhere. ack to the original author !
g++ reader-test.cc /usr/local/lib/graphml.o -lboost_graph -lboost_regex
-lexpat -o graphml
Cheers!
