undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category(), but I already have -lboost_system

425 views Asked by At

Getting this error from a cpp library I'm trying to port from Linux to Windows, using code::blocks. I'm new to c++ in general but especially new to Windows and CB.

I'm pretty sure I have added the system library accordingly, by which I mean I have compiled it using:

.\b2 -j 8 variant=release link=shared threading=single

Then gone to the lib directory, found boost_system-vc120-1_55.dll and renamed it boost_system.dll

The added F:\plus\boost\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib to the Build options, search directories, linker. (And F:\plus\boost\boost_1_55_0\ in search directories, compiler)

The -lboost_system is after the cpp files in the compile command, although for some reason it's listed twice, but I tried compiling in command prompt without the first one and gave same error.

This is the build output I get:

Any ideas? Thanks!
