Hello Community,
I running Windows 10 Pro. MSYS2 - MinGW64-bit with gcc/g++ 10.2.0.
I have download the 1_77 Version of Boost, compile it with b2 in the
msys2 shell terminal.
I could not replace cxx11 to cxx17.
All options to build.bat, and b2.exe/sh to switch to cxx17 have not
be worked.
I downwrite the simple "Boost.program_options" example.
I could compile it without any errors or warnings.
But I ran into trouble at link stage.
I have tried libs for x32/64, single/multi thread, debug/release,
static/dynamic.
All ends up with the same error of undefined reference explained below.
Here comes the known source code to the problem:
---%<---
# include <boost/program_options.hpp>
# include "common.h"
namespace po = boost::program_options;
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
try {
po::options_description desc("Allowed Options");
desc.add_options()
("help", "shows the help page")
("compression", po::value<int>(), "set compression level")
;
po::variables_map vm;
po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm);
po::notify(vm);
if (vm.count("help")) {
std::cout << desc << std::endl;
return SUCCESS;
}
if (vm.count("compression")) {
std::cout << "Compression level was set to "
<< vm["compression"].as<int>() << "." << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << "Compression level was not set." << std::endl;
}
} catch(...) {
std::cerr << "caugth a error.\n";
return FAILURE;
}
return SUCCESS;
}
