unable to find boost libraries

[henrikp]

Debian lenny, getting such error when building the whole game:

==== Building pyrogenesis ====
Linking pyrogenesis
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../../../binaries/system/pyrogenesis_dbg] Error 1
make: *** [pyrogenesis] Error 2

System libraries are installed.

i A libboost-filesystem-dev		 - filesystem operations in C++ (default vers

i A libboost-filesystem1.38-dev	 - filesystem operations (portable paths, ite
i A libboost-filesystem1.38.0	   - filesystem operations (portable paths, ite

Or it isn't looking for those?

In case you have newer libboost libs, these end with "-mt"

"sudo ln libboost_signals-mt.so libboost_signals.so" in /usr/lib

I compiled it and run

Screen shots don't lie. I didn't figure out how to increase resolution yet, though.

Hmm, is it standard for Boost nowadays to have "libboost_filesystem-mt.so"? If so, I think the better solution is to modify build/premake/extern_libs.lua to say 'unix_names = { "boost_signals-mt", "boost_filesystem-mt" }' (around line 59).

(Actually the better solution is probably to use a proper configuration script rather than hard-coding all the names into the Premake file, but I have no idea what would be a proper way of doing it.)

Yep, this seems currently the best solution for me, game works like a charm.
