Compile Error Boost library undefined reference to `shm_open'

Question

I can't compile my project. When I run make command I get the following error.

If I try compile shareMemoryWriter.cpp alone with command g++ -std=c++11 shareMemoryWriter.cpp main2.cpp -o main -lpthread -lrt the compile succeed

operating system: linux mint Makefile:

    CC = g++

CFLAGS=-Wall -g -std=c++11 -lpthread -lrt 

LDFLAGS= -std=c++11 -lpthread -lrt

Don't do this:

CFLAGS=-Wall -g -std=c++11 -lpthread -lrt

Linker flags do not belong on your compile line, only on link line.

Don't do this either:

LDFLAGS= -std=c++11 -lpthread -lrt

The -std=c++11 is a compile flag, and doesn't belong on your link line.

This:

$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $@

puts libraries at the beginning of the link line. They should be at the end. This answer explains why that's important.
