I have recently ran into an error when compiling my program with the boost serialization library.
I have read across many forums that I need to link the boost serialization library (-lboost_serialization). Which, I did.
However, there is one error that I am getting on the code:
/usr/local/boost_1_64_0/boost/serialization/throw_exception.hpp:36: undefined reference to `boost::archive::archive_exception::archive_exception(boost::archive::archive_exception const&)' So I thought, what if I have to also include the exception library? So I added this into the libraries for my compiler settings:
-lboost_exception However, now it is saying that it is unable to find the boost_exception library. Which is interesting because I am able to see it in the file system!
I am wondering if I am doing the right thing or am I forgetting to add something to my compiler settings? Any help will be much appreciated!
Edit:
Here is the code:
