[Boost.Log] How to link with on MSVC 2008?
Hello, i have found the following instructions to build Boost.Log:
Boost.Log can be compiled by:
1. Getting 1.42 source release 2. Unpacking Boost.Log on top of it 3. Following the usual procedure:
.\bootstap.bat .\bjam --with-log
I did the above starting from a 1.44 source release. This worked out well. But when trying to use the library I get a lot of linker errors in my project: 1>Linking... 1>libboost_log-vc90-mt-gd-1_44.lib(text_file_backend.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class boost::filesystem2::file_status [...] (Very long error messages containing decorated names. The above is just the start) Linker path settings should be correct, since the linker correctly finds libboost_log-vc90-mt-gd-1_44.lib. Also the project is using other Boost libraries (Asio, shared-ptr, bind, posix-time, etc) without problems. Anyone managed to compile and use Boost.Log on MSVC 2008 and can help? Thank you, Lars Ruoff

Just a guess: Log depends on Boost.Filesystem library, and you haven't compiled it.
No, Because I just made a test: When I use stuff from Boost.Filesystem Like boost::filesystem::remove_all( "foobar" ); boost::filesystem::create_directory( "foobar" ); it links well.

Any other ideas? Did anyone manage to link with Boost.Log on a MSCV 2008 project? How did you compile the library?

Can you compile/link the Boost.Log trivial example? Roger S.
Ok, well, i got this working now. Thanks for your input Roger - it put me back on track! The things is: #include <boost/log/trivial.hpp> BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(trace) << "A trace severity message"; (like in the trivial tutorial) gives me the linker errors (but compiles ok). But with additionally including #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> it will link ok. Anyone know why? regards, Lars -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Roger Stewart Sent: vendredi 8 octobre 2010 14:54 To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Log] How to link with on MSVC 2008?

All I can guess, without seeing the errors, is that the Log library will create a file with the name of the process for storing the information. So I can see why it would need the boost filesystem but not sure why linking errors are resolved by including the header. Can you post the linker error? Stephen
