boost::algorithm::split_regex problems

[cannon_1]

I have a code that can be compiled fine on the server but not on my mac machines. The following code is designed to split the reading text according to the string delimiter. But when trying to compile this on my mac, I have issues.

void split_is(const std::string &s, string delim_regex, std::vector<std::string> &elems) {
    // Terribly slow and inefficient, sorry. Should probably fix this at some point
    boost::algorithm::split_regex(elems, s, regex(delim_regex));
    std::vector<std::string> non_zero_elems;
    for(int e = 0; e < elems.size(); e++){
        if (elems[e].length() > 0){
            non_zero_elems.push_back(elems[e]);
        }
    }
    elems = non_zero_elems;
}

error is

Does anyone know what is happening?

You are not telling your linker which libraries to look in. Find the right library on your Mac (I'm guessing the Boost regex library) and tell your linker about it.

What Moschops said. You need to use the appropriate -L <library-dir> and -l <lib-name> in your linker variable LDFLAGS in your Makefile. FWIW, my wife uses the boost libraries all the time on both Linux and Mac systems without problems. Do read the make man pages.
