I am trying to run some basic server/client software from the Boost:Asio tutorials. The application works fine on the localhost, but when I compile and move the compiled program to another server, it is unable to find the libraries (which makes sense because they are not there). When I compiled, I thought I linked the libraries in by typing:
g++ -I /usr/local/boost_1_52_0 client.cpp -o client -lpthread -lboost_system
If I have to distribute the libraries with every client software I install on my network, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a cross platform solution like Boost? Am I missing something? Is there a way to package a library into the compiled code so it is distributed with the software?
(but not the same).
