I have a program which I would like compile using cl.exe
on the command-line. This program depends on some boost libraries which I fail to link to.
The error I'm getting is:
cl /Fosamples\proxy\proxy.obj /c samples\proxy\proxy.cpp /TP /O2 /EHsc
/DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB /DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB /DBOOST_SYSTEM_USE_LIB

symbol "class boost::system::error_category const & __cdecl
boost::system::system_category(void)"
(?system_category@system@boost@@YAAEBVerror_category@12@XZ)
I compiled Boost, using the following command-line, from the x64 MSVC command prompt:
.\b2.exe install toolset=msvc --prefix=C:\Boost-VC-x64
If I look inside libboost_system-vc100-mt-1_47.lib
I can see that:
?system_category@system@boost@@YAABVerror_category@12@XZ
Is exported. But If you look closely it differs a bit from the one in my compilation errors:
?system_category@system@boost@@YAAEBVerror_category@12@XZ // The symbol I miss
?system_category@system@boost@@YAABVerror_category@12@XZ // The exported symbol
I guess I should either change Boost or my compilation options but fail to figure what to change exactly. Any clue ?
Thank you very much.
