I’m a newbie about boost. I compiled boost libraries with success (under mac os x). Now, I tried to build the very first example mentioned at boost website (including boost/ as include directory and boost/stage/lib as library directory, with netbeans) and got the following error

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 2s)

am I missing something?

Thanks!

    Most Boost libraries are header-only:
    they consist entirely of header files
    containing templates and inline
    functions, and require no
    separately-compiled library binaries
    or special treatment when linking.

    However, the Boost.Regex library has a library you have to link with if you are using its code. For more details on this see Getting Started guide.

    So the problem in your case is that you are not linking with Boost.Regex library, called libboost_regex.so. In order to do that, modify your project settings (or make file) so that it invokes gcc with -lboost_regex option. This option should come right after -L../../boost_1_44_0/stage/lib option that you already have, like this

    g++ -o dist/Debug/GNU-MacOSX/boost_ex1 build/Debug/GNU-MacOSX/main.o -L../../boost_1_44_0/stage/lib -lboost_regex
    

    Good luck!
