Hi there, I am using a 2012 code which uses gcc-4.6. I know it is old but I am not testing that with current OS versions due to the dependency problems. So, I have installed a virtual ubuntu-12.04 for this purpose. The following g++ command returns an undefined reference error which is related to boost libraries mahmood@vb:AES$ g++ -fPIC -m64 \ > -o /home/mahmood/gpgpu-sim_distribution/ispass2009-benchmarks/bin/release/AES \ > obj/x86_64/release/aescuda.cpp.o \ > obj/x86_64/release/aesCudaUtils.cpp.o \ > obj/x86_64/release/aesHost.cu.o \ > -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64 \ > -L/home/mahmood/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/lib \ > -L/home/mahmood/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common/lib/linux \ > -L/home/mahmood/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/shared/lib \ > -lcudart -lcutil_x86_64 -lshrutil_x86_64 obj/x86_64/release/aescuda.cpp.o: In function `_GLOBAL__sub_I_aescuda.cpp': aescuda.cpp:(.text.startup+0x68b): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()' aescuda.cpp:(.text.startup+0x697): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_generic_category()' .... I simply include the required library files, but still get the same error. mahmood@vb:AES$ find /home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/ -name libboost_filesystem* /home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/gcc-4.6/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_filesystem.a /home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/gcc-4.6/release/threading-multi/libboost_filesystem.so.1.54.0 /home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.54.0 /home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib/libboost_filesystem.a /home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib/libboost_filesystem.so However mahmood@vb:AES$ g++ -fPIC -m64 \ > -o /home/mahmood/gpgpu-sim_distribution/ispass2009-benchmarks/bin/release/AES \ > obj/x86_64/release/aescuda.cpp.o \ > obj/x86_64/release/aesCudaUtils.cpp.o \ > obj/x86_64/release/aesHost.cu.o \ > -L/usr/local/cuda/lib64 \ > -L/home/mahmood/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/lib \ > -L/home/mahmood/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/common/lib/linux \ > -L/home/mahmood/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/shared/lib \ > -lcudart -lcutil_x86_64 -lshrutil_x86_64 \ > -L/home/mahmood/boost_1_54_0/stage/lib \ > -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem obj/x86_64/release/aescuda.cpp.o: In function `_GLOBAL__sub_I_aescuda.cpp': aescuda.cpp:(.text.startup+0x68b): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()' aescuda.cpp:(.text.startup+0x697): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_generic_category()' .... I know that the order of those boost libraries are important. But, changing the order has no effect. Maybe the problem is with Boost. But I have checked that with the guys and seems to be normal. I think somewhere in the link stage, g++ forget the library path. Surely the program has been used by other people, so it is generally correct. The Makefile is available at https://github.com/gpgpu-sim/ispass2009-benchmarks/blob/master/AES/Makefile Why that happens? Anybody has faced that before? Any comment? Regards, Mahmood
