[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#405249: boost: Debug libs provided are incompatible with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG

[e.r.macgregor at warwick.ac.uk]

Package: boost
Version: Debug libs provided are incompatible with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG
Severity: normal

Attemping to compile code that links against external boost libraries fails when
you turn on the checked STL implementation (-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG) (it does not link
for either the normal or debug versions of the libraries):

$ g++ --version
i486-linux-gnu-g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)
$ g++ -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG first.cpp /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1
tmp/ccZa5s2I.o: In function `boost::program_options::basic_command_line_parser<char>::basic_command_line_parser(int, char**)':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

(where first is from /usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/program_options/example/first.cpp)

It would be nice if there was a version available that was compatible
with this flag.

Thanks,

Euan.
