undefined reference to `boost::log_mt_posix::basic_attribute_set<char>::~basic_attribute_set()'

Question

Newbie question... I'm trying out Boost for the first time because I want to test drive the Boost Log library. I built this test program...

#include <boost/log/trivial.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int fibonacci(int num) {
    int i;
    int a = 1;
    int b = 1;

    for (i = 2; i <= num; ++i) {
        BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(info) << "Iteration " << i << " (a = " << a << ", b = " << b << ")...";
        b = a + b;
        a = b - a;
    }

    return a;
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "8th fibonacci number: " << fibonacci(8) << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

About Boost Log syntax

Did I install Boost Log incorrectly? Am I missing crucial libraries? Did I omit necessary linker flags?

Answer 1

You need to add something like -lboost-log-mt to your link line.
