Introduction I know about C++: All boost path operations segfault (OSX / GCC)

And as you can I didn't changed convention of name subject.

But I am using a Ubuntu system and I have a problem like author above.

I don't understand above solution ( How to solve it? ) ( And I use another system ) so I create my own subject.

To sum up:

The problem appear for example when I run :

int main(){
    std::string s = boost::filesystem::current_path().string(); //SIGESV
    return 0;
}

Debugger said:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007fffefb57f7e in ?? () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

Please help me.

The pre-built boost libraries that you installed are not compatible with the C++ standard library that ships with your compiler.

You should build the boost binaries yourself using the tools they provide.

It does take some effort (I remember a couple of days of sheer frustration) to get used to their build tool, but it's well worth taking the time. The boost documentation is much better than it once was.

  • I'd be surprised if the versions from the official repositories are not compatible (although not *that* surprised). Maybe just some compiler flag is necessary? – BoBTFish Dec 11 '15 at 08:40
  • I still wouldn't chance it. In particular, there is so much flexibility in classes like `std::string`; an almost exact compiler flag set has to be used. Taking the time to learn b2 (come on, it's much simpler than the old bjam ;-)) is time well-spent. – Bathsheba Dec 11 '15 at 08:42
  • @Bathsheba could you say more about it? I don't understand but it seems to be interesting. Especially it caught my eye: "Taking the time to learn b2 (come on, it's much simpler than the old bjam ;-)) is time well-spent." What is b2? What is bjam? – user5468942 Dec 11 '15 at 10:09
  • Start with www.boost.org and go from there. Do reserve 2 days to get this working though. – Bathsheba Dec 11 '15 at 10:18
