3847,Unable to statically link thread lib on ia64.,tomasz.wilk@…,viboes,"An attempt to statically link thread library on Itanium (ia64) platform generates the following error:

libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_41.lib(tss_pe.obj) : error LNK2003: gp relative fixup to symbol not in short data section '_tls_used'
LINK : fatal error LNK1165: link failed because of fixup errors

I was able to verify this issue using boost 1.37 with vc8 compiler as well as boost 1.41 with vc10 beta2

The workaround is to force dynamic linking using


{{{
#define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_DLL
}}}


which is not always acceptable.

Here is a sample program:


{{{
#include<stdio.h>

//#define BOOST_THREAD_DYN_DLL
#include<boost/thread.hpp>

void threadBody()
{
	printf(""hello from thread"");
	boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(5));
}

int main(void)
{
	printf(""Hello world!"");

	boost::thread myThread(threadBody);
	myThread.join();

	return 0;
}
}}}
