I have a program I want to compile under linux ubuntu. But though I have already installed libboost-all-dev, it still throws me some errors. Errors are too many to post just here, I better include a pastebin instead: http://pastebin.com/vjeMbjGa

They are mostly connected with libboost-thread, as far as I've got it. But I don't know:

  1. Where to turn on the BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS constant and why is it turned off by default?
  2. Is error "Sorry, no boost threads are available for this platform." dependant on BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS? I do not believe that Ubuntu 14.04 do not support threading.
  3. As far as I know, TIME_UTC was changed in some version of C. How to fix it up for Boost?

Any other explanations are appreciated too. Thank you all who help.

    Your errors indicates boost is installed under /usr/local/ - that's not from the Ubuntu boost packages, so perhaps you've installed boost yourself - but configured it without threading support ? – nos Nov 03 '14 at 14:32
  • @nos, Well, I have tried to install boost 1.54 by myself. But i think there were no errors. – Duosora Nov 03 '14 at 14:35
  • @Duosora I think you disabled threading support when you did so, and the code you're trying to compile now is using that boost installation, instead of the one you've installed with the libboost-all-dev package. So remove the boost stuff under /usr/local. – nos Nov 03 '14 at 14:49
  • @nos I have removed boost folder from /usr/local/include. It resulted more errors like `error: ‘class boost::filesystem::directory_entry’ has no member named ‘filename’`. What to do with it? – Duosora Nov 03 '14 at 15:08
  • @Duosora I can't see in the boost documentation that boost::filesystem::directory_entry has a filename member, so something's wrong with the code you wrote. Create a new question where you show your code, preferably a complete example that shows the issue you have. – nos Nov 03 '14 at 17:27
