problem with mingw 4.5.2 and prebuilt boost 1.46.1 libs

[screw]

Hi Everybody!

I would like to use mingw 4.5.2 with prebuilt boost 1.46.1 libs. I didn't want to compile the boost source because saving time therefore I downloded it from http://www.cogniteam.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page webpage.

There are appropriate libs for mingw 4.5.2 When I compiled my source with boost test it worked fine. However I want to use boost thread too. I found a common small tutorial code on google.

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>
#include <iostream>

void hello()
{
  std::cout <<
    "Hello world, I'm a thread!"
    << std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  boost::thread thrd(&hello);
  thrd.join();
  return 0;
}

I gave this command:

g++ t1.cpp -llibboost_thread-mgw44-mt-1_46_1 -Lm:/boost/lib -Im:/boost

I could compile successfully and link this program and I got nothing error messages. If I want to execute this program, It quits immediately after launching. Nothing error message, exception etc.


What did I do wrong?

Thank you.

Regards,
Zoltán

Could it be that you are running your code from eclipse ? We noticed the console closes quickly there.
Try running it from the system console or in debug mode. We tried your code and it works for us.
