Problems compiling C ++ code with boost library

Question

I am trying to compile the source code ( thomas pevny to calculate the pixel adjacency matrix ). This code asks you to preinstall the libboost and libpng library, which I successfully executed.

but when I do the make command, the following errors appear on the terminal.

spam.cpp:169:26: error: 'class boost::filesystem3::directory_entry' has no member named 'leaf' spam.cpp:179:20: error: 'class boost::filesystem3::path' has no member named 'native_file_string 

Is there any way to fix this problem? Should I install a different version of libboost?

Thank you for attention.

Answer 1

leaf() deprecated.

See this list of deprecated features and their new names:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/filesystem/v2/doc/index.htm

Edit for commment:

It should be something like this:

  boost::filesystem::path p("foo.txt"); std::cout << p.filename() << std::endl; 

Answer 2

leaf() deprecated. See: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/reference.html#directory_iterator-members You can try playing without BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED .

Answer 3

The problem was resolved with the suggestions of @Salgar and @ Jean-Baptiste Yunès, as well as adding -lboost_system after -lboost_filesystem in the makefile. Thanks to everyone.
