Boost.FileSystem dependency on Boost.System?
Hi, It seems when compiling anything using Boost.FileSystem that the Boost.System library is also linked. Is this always the case? I can't see any clear documentation of this on the Boost.FileSystem page. If this is the case, is there a nice list of all such dependencies somewhere, as this is currently causing us certain issues? Thanks! Matthew Gwynne http://cs.swan.ac.uk/~csmg/
Hi, Yes, Boost.FileSytem has depended on Boost.System since 1.35. See the link below, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/filesystem/v2/doc/index.htm#Change...

Hi, Ah, I can see this is the case, but it only mentions that something was moved to Boost.System, it doesn't specify that this was needed by Boost.FileSystem and it doesn't really say anything about the fact that Boost.System will be required as a library. I'd have thought if something should be included, or is automatically linked into the executable but I have not explicitly told Boost to do so, then it should be documented much more clearly? Is there somewhere central I can find out such dependencies without having to search through the changelog of each library? Thanks!!

Couldn't ldd reveal this sort of situation?
Yes, exactly. Using ldd I can only really find out after the fact and then only on a per executable basis. If that's all that's possible, fair enough, I'm just wondering if there's somewhere that documents this. Thanks! Matthew On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 12:47 AM, 陳韋任 <chenwj@iis.sinica.edu.tw> wrote:

I think he want such dependencies be documented.

By the way, can anybody tell what is libboost_system specifically for? And what is the logic behind putting somethings in boost_system and others in boost_filesystem for example? Since there is not such thing as Boost.System it is hard to tell. Thank you, Alfredo On Nov 23, 1:00 am, Matthew Gwynne <mathew.gwy...@gmail.com> wrote:

See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/filesystem/v2/doc/index.htm#Change... Version 1.35.0 * Diagnostics moved to the separate Boost.System library. I think the author just want to let Boost.System handle OS specific error code.

Huh?! It's been there since 1.35. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/system/doc/index.html Jeff
