I downloaded boost with the accepted answer here on my Mac running Sierra. It was saved under /opt/local/include/.
Just to make sure that the library functions correctly, I tried to run this program and I am getting the following error when I run:
gcc -I"/opt/local/include/" test.cpp -lboost_locale -lboost_serialization
on the terminal:
ld: library not found for -lboost_serialization
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
(From the answer here I also tried:
clang++ -I"/opt/local/include/" test.cpp -lboost_locale -lboost_serialization and get the same errors)
I also tried to use -I and -L:
clang++ -I"/opt/local/include/" -L"/opt/local/lib/" test.cpp -lboost_locale -lboost_serialization
but the same error is showing.
I search for "libboost_" on my computer and find that in /opt/local/lib/ there are some libboost_... files and one for serialization: libboost_serialization-mt.dylib-mt.dylib
Other than that there isn't any other files with libboost_.
Second question: why am I getting a clang error when I am using gcc? I googled to see what can be the cause but after a good hour of searching I'm still stumped as to what the issue is.
