What are the correct link options to use std::thread in GCC under linux?

I think on Linux pthread is used to implement std::thread so you need to specify the -pthread compiler option.

As this is a linking option, this compiler option need to be AFTER the source files:

$ g++ -std=c++0x test.cpp -pthread

In addition to using -std=c++0x and -pthread you must not use -static.

-std=c++11 -static -pthread -Wl,--whole-archive -lpthread -Wl,--no-whole-archive works together with -static!!!
