How to link boost libraries properly in Linux

Question

I\'ve been trying to go through Boost tutorials but I got stuck at linking the filesystem library.

I have Ubuntu 12.10. Installation wasn\'t that hard

su         


        

Answer 1

I found the answer myself here:

Looks like binaries weren't in /usr/lib but in /usr/local/lib.
So the correct command for compilation would be:

g++ -g tut1.cpp -o tut1 -L/usr/local/lib/ -lboost_filesystem

@Yuushi, that was 1 problem.
