Ubuntu – Cannot find boost-thread-mt library

boostc

I am compiling a program which requires boost-thread-mt library. I have installed libboost-all-dev using sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev but compiler says that it cannot find boost-thread-mt library. Is this library in some other package? Please guide me what i need to install for this.

The -mt suffix had been removed. The installed Boost libraries are multi-threading safe.

You can compile your program versus libboost-thread. Either by changing the source to use non -mt libs or by making symbolic links libboost_thread.a →libboost_thread-mt.a. Same thing if you need shared libs .so.
