[g++] Problems linking boost.system and boost.regex

[g++] Problems linking boost.system and boost.regex

[lampak]

Hi. I'm trying to compile on windows one linux app of mine which uses a few
boost libraries. I've got g++ and boost (1.43.0-1) installed through
setup.exe. I use g++ through Eclipse IDE. I've managed to get the program
compiled but I'm getting linking errors. 

Eclipse executes the following command (I've shortened it a bit removing
other libraries than boost and changed the names of files):

g++ -o"result.exe"  ./Alice.o ./Bob.o ./Carol.o ./Dave.o ./Eve.o ./Fran.o
./Gordon.o ./Isaak.o ./Justin.o ./Mallory.o ./Oscar.o ./Peggy.o  
-lboost_regex-mt.dll -lboost_thread-mt.dll -lboost_date_time-mt.dll
-lboost_system-mt.dll

or, as another attempt without ".dll": (the result is exactly the same)
g++ -o"result.exe"  ./Alice.o ./Bob.o ./Carol.o ./Dave.o ./Eve.o ./Fran.o
./Gordon.o ./Isaak.o ./Justin.o ./Mallory.o ./Oscar.o ./Peggy.o
-lboost_regex-mt -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_date_time-mt -lboost_system-mt

or one more attempt, the same result again, with both ".dll" and without:
g++ -o"result.exe"  ./Alice.o ./Bob.o ./Carol.o ./Dave.o ./Eve.o ./Fran.o
./Gordon.o ./Isaak.o ./Justin.o ./Mallory.o ./Oscar.o ./Peggy.o  
-lboost_regex-mt.dll -lboost_thread-mt.dll -lboost_date_time-mt.dll
-lboost_system-mt.dll -lboost_regex-mt -lboost_thread-mt
-lboost_date_time-mt -lboost_system-mt

I don't get messages that libraries were not found which means they were. 

The errors related to boost.system are: 

/cygdrive/d/libs/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:214: undefined
reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
/cygdrive/d/libs/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:215: undefined
reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
/cygdrive/d/libs/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:216: undefined
reference to `boost::system::system_category()'

(I don't actually use boost.system in my program, but from the errors I
guess I need to link it anyway)

Those suggesting something's wrong with regex are even more peculiar:

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong? 

(And BTW, what's the difference between libraries ending with .dll.a and .a
alone? And what does -mt stand for?)

Last I heard, boost lost its Cygwin maintainer; and old libraries aren't
likely to work with a newer compiler. This page
  http://cygwin.com/packages/boost-devel/boost-devel-1.43.0-1
confirms that:
  "boost-devel: Obsolete package (installed binaries and support files)"
so try building boost yourself.

'.dll.a' is a convention for naming import libraries.

> And what does -mt stand for?)

AFAICR that library-name suffix meant multithreaded.

According to http://cygwin.com/packages/, the package "boost-devel" is
obsolete - but I'm using "libboost-devel" which is not.

But I will try building boost myself. Only the last time I had some problems
with it (when I ran "bjam --toolset=gcc" I got plenty of "access denied"
messages - I don't know access to what they meant). I will try again and
bother you with more details later ;)
