[Boost-users] linking with boost log 1.54

[Ovanes Markarian]

Hi *,

I am stuck with a problem to link on linux (ubuntu 12.04) with a boost log library (clang 3.0 & libstdc++).

No matter what I do it fails. The problem is:

I have a 3rd party library which is delivered as an .so-module and I need to link with it. My project is organized so that we develop static libraries and link them with test or application runner executables.

I currently build boost as static libraries only, after I link my project with log library I get tons of errors like:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.a(nptl-init.o): In function `__pthread_initialize_minimal_internal':

And so on. Do you have any hints or suggestions?

Thanks,

Ovanes

No matter which platform you target, static libraries have the amusing
property that they're pretty much a lump of object files, and as such,
are not linked to any libraries at build time.

Thus, you need to link to any libraries that Boost.Log uses when you
link to a static Boost.Log. Judging by your errors, this would be
-lboost_filesystem, -ldl and possibly building with -pthread, depending
on your toolchain.

Also note that if you use Boost.Log in more than one module (DLL, shared
object), you need to use the shared Boost.Log library as indicated by
the documentation [1].

Lars,

thanks for your answer. I will try your proposal, we only have static libs which we assemble into an executable. So boost log should be fine here. I also link filesystem etc, but not dl. May be that is the error.

I will try it.

Thanks,

Ovanes

Unfortunately, still had no luck to link the logging library under linux.

Please find the list of libraires my application links with:

System Libs

=========

pthread rt dl

                

Boost Libs

========

system${boost_suffix}

filesystem${boost_suffix}

date_time${boost_suffix}

program_options${boost_suffix}

chrono${boost_suffix}

thread${boost_suffix}

log${boost_suffix}

log_setup${boost_suffix}

boost_suffix is -mt. Defining the -DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK option makes the linker to only miss the logger library symbols. I assume, because everything else is expected to be within the missing implementations....

It looks below like the linker isn't finding your static build of the
logger. Maybe (outside shot) you need to add an object which
instantiates a trivial logger to get some of the template functions
below.

I doubt it will help, but just in case, before boost::log was
integrated into the main boost distro, I linked to my app with
something like:

LIBINC += -L$(BOOST_TARGET)lib $(LINK_BOOST_LOG) -lboost_thread$(BOOST_SUFFIX) -lboost_filesystem$(BOOST_SUFFIX) -lboost_system$(BOOST_SUFFIX) -lboost_date_time$(BOOST_SUFFIX)

Eric,

thanks for the suggestion. I just switched to dynamic version and everything is fine now.

I really can't await C++ modules and hope they will fix that sort of a problem...

You might want to look into using Gnu Autotools if you're just targeting
Linux. They do simplify the whole static/shared library linking.

[Ovanes Markarian]

Mostafa,

thanks for the suggestion. We are using CMake and develop for Mac OS X and Linux. This was a port of our software to Linux ;) So first time is always hard.... Now it builds and should stay so. I had to fix various settings in CMake files for Linux/clang/libstdc++ build.
