boost.asio lib and CodeLite

[Teemu]

Hi group!
I have installed CodeLite +MinGw+ Unit Test 1.3 on a Win7 system. Now I want to add the boost.asio library to CodeLite... But I don´t really know how to do this! I downloaded the boost_1_49_0 file and extracted it under C:\Program Files\boost_1_49_0\. I found a test-Code, but it doesn´t work... What I have to do, that Codelite knows where the boost-file is and how to use it????

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

int main()
{
  boost::asio::io_service io;
boost::system::error_code error; 

  boost::asio::deadline_timer t(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(5));
  t.wait();

  std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";

  return 0;
}

after debugging the code the following warnings appeared...

./Debug/main.o: In function `_static_initialization_and_destruction_0':
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1/../../../../include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:214: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1/../../../../include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:215: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1/../../../../include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:216: undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category()

Maybe someone can help me... Would be very nice!!!
PS: sry, for my bad english I´m from germany...

Hi

You have to build boost.Asio, as it's not a "header only" library.

Thank you, for your quick response!!!
Ok, I have to build boost.asio.... but how and where? sry, I´m a newbie in this...
Your Link explains it, but I don´t really understand what I´ve to do...

You may build the subset of Boost libraries required to use Boost.Asio and its examples by running the following command from the root of the Boost download package:
-->bjam --with-system --with-thread --with-date_time --with-regex --with-serialization stage

What does this exactly mean? Which program I use to "run" the command? Which "root" they mean? I´m really an idoit, sry..
Maybe someone can explain the building of boost.asio step by step...

This has nothing to do in CodeLite forums.
You should read the boost.Build documentation (bjam) and, if you encounter problems, you should go to a boost forum.
Good luck as boost is not so easy for newbies...
