missing lboost_thread-mt in mongodb cpp driver (ubuntu server x64)

i have a brand new ubuntu server x64.

i installed the following packages

build-essential

libboost-all-dev

mongodb-dev

mongodb-10gen

now when i try to compile the example code i get this error.

root@server:/home/user/Desktop# g++ mongotest.cpp -pthread -lmongoclient -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_filesystem -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -o tutorial

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mt

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

i searched everywhere i can think of and in every way i can think of but it doesn’t work.

UPDATE: like vershov said it works with the lboost_thread but it needs lssl and lcrypto to compile

the final command that worked for me is:

g++ mongoc.cpp -pthread -lmongoclient -lboost_thread -lboost_filesystem -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -lssl -lcrypto -o tutorial

thank you vershov!!

Answer

Page http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/i386/libboost-thread1.54-dev/filelist shows that Ubuntu libboost-thread package has libboost_thread.so library file, not libboost_thread-mt.so

So, correct command is:

root@server:/home/user/Desktop# g++ mongotest.cpp -pthread -lmongoclient -lboost_thread -lboost_filesystem -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -o tutorial
