Can't build QxOrm with boost 1.49

[Davita]

Hi

I just downloaded QxOrm to try out for my next project. Even I couldn't build it yet, I found it really impressive from the docs. Big thanks to the authors from me

Now my problem. I'm trying to build QxOrm on windows with Qt 4.8 and VS 2010 compiler. I followed the instructions, I downloaded latest version (1.49) boost, built it statically, specified lib and include pathes in QxOrm.pri but when I try to build it, I get linker errors, "unresolved external symbol bla bla bla boost::bla_bla_bla". I suspect that current version of QxOrm is not compatible with boost 1.49, so maybe anyone can point me which version of boost should I downgrade to?

Thank you very much

Hi,

Thanx very much

I downloaded latest version (1.49) boost, built it statically..... I get linker errors

The best way to use QxOrm library is to build Qt and boost serialization dynamically.
I never tried boost 1.49 but I think it will work fine if you build boost serialization dynamically...

If you really want to keep boost serialization built statically, you can try a BETA version of the next version :
http://www.qxorm.com/version/QxOrm_1.2.3_BETA_11.zip
With this version, there is an option into QxOrm.pri to build QxOrm library statically.
But I recommend to build all dynamically : Qt, boost and QxOrm...

I see, I will try it in several hours and post results here.
Thanks

Here's the results I promised.

I couldn't manage to build QxOrm neither with dynamically nor with statically linked BOOST library (version 1.49).
I couldn't manage to build QxOrm with BOOST version 1.39 (same config)
I managed to build QxOrm with dynamically linked BOOST 1.38. phew
At least I did it.

Thanks

It's really strange : I tried many versions from boost 1.38 to 1.48 and I never had any problem to build QxOrm library !
Tomorrow I will try using last version of boost (1.49 like you). But I'm pretty sure it will work without problem.
I think you have another problem with your development environment...

[Guest]

Possible, but can't guess what it could be. Anyway thank you again for your wonderful work
and if you manage to try building it, let us know the results please

[QxOrm admin]

I have just tested boost 1.49 with QxOrm library : it works without problem for me !
Here is my configuration :
- MSVC2010 ;
- Qt 4.8 (built dynamically) ;
- boost 1.49 (built dynamically).

So you have a problem with your development environment

Here is my boost 1.49 package : http://www.qxorm.com/lib/boost_1_49.zip
You can download it and try with this boost package (if you have MSVC2010, define into QxOrm.pri file boost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_49.dll for debug mode and boost_serialization-vc100-mt-1_49.dll for release mode).

Thank you very much I will try this when I get home.

IT WORKED!!! I don't know how and why but I built QxOrm with your binaries without any problem. Could you tell me what's the trick?
I mean, I used bjam.exe which comes with boost source to build boost. Could you tell us how you built those binaries?

Thanks again

[QxOrm admin]

IT WORKED!!!

Cool

Could you tell me what's the trick?
I mean, I used bjam.exe which comes with boost source to build boost. Could you tell us how you built those binaries?

In my boost package, there is all commands I used to build boost serialization (see version_1_49.txt file) :

Code: Select all

-----------------------------------------
COMMAND LINE TO BUILD USING MSVC++ 2008 :
-----------------------------------------
bjam.exe --build-dir=build --toolset=msvc-9.0 --with-serialization variant=debug,release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared stage
bjam.exe --build-dir=build --toolset=msvc-9.0 --with-serialization variant=debug,release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared install

-----------------------------------------
COMMAND LINE TO BUILD USING MSVC++ 2010 :
-----------------------------------------
bjam.exe --build-dir=build --toolset=msvc-10.0 --with-serialization variant=debug,release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared stage
bjam.exe --build-dir=build --toolset=msvc-10.0 --with-serialization variant=debug,release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared install

---------------------------------------------
COMMAND LINE TO BUILD USING MINGW GCC 4.5.1 :
---------------------------------------------
bjam.exe --build-dir=build --toolset=gcc --with-serialization variant=debug,release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared stage
bjam.exe --build-dir=build --toolset=gcc --with-serialization variant=debug,release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared install

Now, you should test all examples into './test/' directory of QxOrm package.
If you can build all examples and execute them without problem, then you can start your own project...
