[boost] Undefined refs when compiling trivial example

Subject: [boost] Undefined refs when compiling trivial example

Hello,

I took the trivial example from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/libs/log/example/doc/tutorial_trivial.cpp and try
to compile it.

boost 1.63 is compiled by myself without any special options, besides --prefix.

% echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/lindnefn/software/boost/lib:

% echo $LIBRARY_PATH
/home/lindnefn/software/boost/lib:

% echo $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
/home/lindnefn/software/boost/include:

the LIBRARY_PATH contains all the *.so and *.a files, the INCLUDE_PATH/boost all the headers.

but compiling fails:

I also tried to omit -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK, add -static instead or use clang++ instead of g++. I also tried to shuffle
the order of -l ... All gives the same error.

Build machine is a Ubuntu 16.04.4 , g++ 5.4.0.

What could be wrong?

Thanks,
Florian
