Boost.Log linking errors under GNU/Linux

Question

I would like to test the Boost.Log library. Unfortunately, I get link errors.

I use Arch Linux, and I installed Boost headers and libraries via built-in package manager

Answer 1

You need to define BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK:

g++ -DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK blog.cpp -lboost_log -lpthread

Answer 2

If you are using cmake then:

find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system log)
target_link_libraries(credential ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY} ${Boost_LOG_LIBRARY})

and use:

#define BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK 1
