Descargué boost y lo construí, y no por primera vez, pero luego las cosas comenzaron a parecer extrañas.

Al principio, obtuve estos errores al compilar mi proyecto (que usa boost):

/usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:221: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
/usr/local/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:222: undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'

Así que fui a verificar si todo está en su lugar y descubrí que los archivos lib de impulso que tengo no tienen el nombre habitual de la biblioteca, es decir, simplemente se ven así:libboost_thread.a, libboost_system.a, libboost_date_time.a, en vez de-mt, -d y así.

No recuerdo cómo lo construí exactamente, pero si trato de ejecutarlo:
boost_src_dir > ./b2 threading=multi link=static variant=debug,release
Yo obtengo:

error: Name clash for '<pstage/lib>libboost_atomic.a'
error: 
error: Tried to build the target twice, with property sets having 
error: these incompatible properties:
error: 
error:     -  <debug-symbols>on <inlining>off <optimization>off <runtime-debugging>on <variant>debug
error:     -  <debug-symbols>off <define>NDEBUG <inlining>full <optimization>speed <runtime-debugging>off <variant>release
error: 
error: Please make sure to have consistent requirements for these 
error: properties everywhere in your project, especially for install
error: targets.

No estoy muy seguro de lo que está sucediendo, las veces anteriores que hice esto todo salió bien ...
¿Algunas ideas?

Estoy usando Linux mint (17.2 x64), aumenta 1.59 y lo uso con cmake de esta manera:

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
find_package(Boost 1.36.0 COMPONENTS system thread shared_ptr)
if(Boost_FOUND)
    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
else()
    message("can not find boost")
endif()

Gracias.
