Proper way to compile a project about mailio

[karastojko]

Try something like:

g++ -std=c++17 -I ./include/ -I /opt/boost-1.75.0/include/ -L ./build/ -L /opt/boost-1.75.0/lib/ -L /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ test.cpp -o test -lboost_system -lboost_regex -lboost_date_time  -lpthread -lcrypto -lssl -lmailio

Adjust the paths according to your setup.

After running the above command I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libmailio.a(dialog.cpp.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_condattr_setclock@@GLIBC_2.3.3'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu//libpthread.so: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

It is weird because I am including the -lpthread link in the g++ command.
I have tried solutions mentioned in this thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19901934/libpthread-so-0-error-adding-symbols-dso-missing-from-command-line, but no joy so far.

I believe you are mixing the static library libmailio.a together with the shared pthread library. Can you build the shared library version libmailio.so and try again?

I am closing this issue as I am moving on to Go because I want to create a web mail app.

Also, the README should be updated, specifically this line in the CMAKE section:

Other available options are MAILIO_BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY (by default is on, if turned off then the static library is built)...

This conflicts with the most recent commit c1d4d2f.
