Question

i have lot of errors when i try to compile my server with boost.
Here, this is my makefile :

NAME    =       serveur

SRCS    =       Serveur/main.cpp                \
                Serveur/Client.cpp              \
                Serveur/Commande.cpp            \
                Serveur/My_exception.cpp        \
                Serveur/Network.cpp             \
                Serveur/Server.cpp

After “googling” i found that it’s necessary to put -lboost_filesystem but it’s not working again and there are next errors :

make: *** [serveur] Error 1

Anyone know why it’s not working?

Answer 1

boost::filesystem depends on boost::system, so you’ll have to add -lboost_system, also.
