Hello,

I get linking errrors while trying to compile the program_options. Here is
the output:

I'm using gcc 3.2 (the one that came with XCode 1.5).
Strange thing is the man page says -static is an option for both gcc
and g++.

How can I successfully compile the dynamic-link library?

The static-link library was compiled successfully though.
Also, I added -Wno-long-double to the g++ options, to get rid of an
annoying warning. The gcc bjam file says there is no gcc or g++ on
Darwin, but there certainly is for me.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.9 with gcc 3.2 from XCode 1.5 installation.
