I am not sure if this is the list meant for such questions but here goes.
I am trying to compile a project where there are libraries and execs.
One of the libraries built by the project "libUtils.a" needs to be linked against boost iostreams
When compiling with toolset gcc it uses a linking command with start-group and end-group, but when compiling with toolset clang b2 uses a linking command like :
"clang++" -L"/apps/bzip2/lib" -L"/apps/zlib/lib" -o "fixfast/bin/clang-linux-3.3/release/link-static/fixfast-mds_MCAST" "fixfast/bin/clang-linux-3.3/release/link-static/fixfastDataD.o" "/apps/boost/root/bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/clang-linux-3.3/release/link-static/libboost_iostreams.a" ~/infra_install/lib/libCDef.a -lbz2 -lz -lpthread
This produces linking errors like undefined references in boost
When I reorder it to
"clang++" -L"/apps/bzip2/lib" -L"/apps/zlib/lib" -o "fixfast/bin/clang-linux-3.3/release/link-static/fixfast-mds_MCAST" "fixfast/bin/clang-linux-3.3/release/link-static/fixfastDataD.o" ~/infra_install/lib/libCDef.a "/apps/boost/root/bin.v2/libs/iostreams/build/clang-linux-3.3/release/link-static/libboost_iostreams.a" -lbz2 -lz -lpthread
i.e bring boost lib to the end it links fine.
What am I doing wrong ? Any pointers ?
