Boost library linking error in Xcode - xcode

Question

Boost was installed and make by: brew install boost
Added the header path /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.53.0/include to User Header Search Path
Added the library path /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.53.0/lib to Library Search Path
main.cpp
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include "test.cpp"
void test(){
Test instance(true, 'm', 50, 17.89, "fuzhijie");
stringstream binary_sstream;
boost::archive::binary_oarchive binary_oa(binary_sstream);
binary_oa << instance;
}
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
test();
return 0;
}
When I press CTRL+b, the following error message is shown:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Answer 1

The reason is maybe you have compiler gcc5 or gcc6.
And your code has used different compile flag with your boost library.
Detail please read this link
If you can recompile all incompatible libs you use, do it with compiler option
-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1
and then rebuild your project. If still can not link, add change project's makefile compiler option to 0.
-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0
======Update=======
The real solution should be install the new boost libraries (v1.62) for gcc6 or gcc5.
