I'm trying to compile code I got from here. I had installed the boost libraries on Ubuntu using sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev. The installation went fine and I was able to compile all the examples. Then I tried an example found here using boost::asio and Google protocol buffers. Clang_complete in Vim started giving me some weird problems which lead me believe that I needed to update the version of boost. (Installed 1.46 from repositories).
I realized that the Ubuntu repository was using an older version of Boost so I decided to download and install it my self. I used this tutorial to install the libraries (replacing ./bjam with ./b2). This is when the problem started. The code below worked fine from the Synaptic installation of boost but after the manual build I get lots of errors. I'm thinking something is missing but I'm not sure how I figure out what I need to install.
The code looks like this:
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <iostream>
boost::mutex global_stream_lock;
void WorkerThread( boost::shared_ptr< boost::asio::io_service > io_service )
{
global_stream_lock.lock();
std::cout << "[" << boost::this_thread::get_id()
<< "] Thread Start" << std::endl;
global_stream_lock.unlock();
io_service->run();
global_stream_lock.lock();
std::cout << "[" << boost::this_thread::get_id()
<< "] Thread Finish" << std::endl;
global_stream_lock.unlock();
}
size_t fib( size_t n )
{
if ( n <= 1 )
{
return n;
}
boost::this_thread::sleep(
boost::posix_time::milliseconds( 1000 )
);
return fib( n - 1 ) + fib( n - 2);
}
void CalculateFib( size_t n )
{
global_stream_lock.lock();
std::cout << "[" << boost::this_thread::get_id()
<< "] Now calculating fib( " << n << " ) " << std::endl;
global_stream_lock.unlock();
size_t f = fib( n );
global_stream_lock.lock();
std::cout << "[" << boost::this_thread::get_id()
<< "] fib( " << n << " ) = " << f << std::endl;
global_stream_lock.unlock();
}
int main( int argc, char * argv[] )
{
boost::shared_ptr< boost::asio::io_service > io_service(
new boost::asio::io_service
);
boost::shared_ptr< boost::asio::io_service::work > work(
new boost::asio::io_service::work( *io_service )
);
global_stream_lock.lock();
std::cout << "[" << boost::this_thread::get_id()
<< "] The program will exit when all work has finished."
<< std::endl;
global_stream_lock.unlock();
boost::thread_group worker_threads;
for( int x = 0; x < 2; ++x )
{
worker_threads.create_thread(
boost::bind( &WorkerThread, io_service )
);
}
io_service->post( boost::bind( CalculateFib, 3 ) );
io_service->post( boost::bind( CalculateFib, 4 ) );
io_service->post( boost::bind( CalculateFib, 5 ) );
work.reset();
worker_threads.join_all();
return 0;
}
Now when I try to compile the code I get the following errors:
