What I have tried:

I have tried with different versions of Boost and Zstd to find their compartibility.

The errors suggest either:
- a module of the Zstd set is missing, or did not compile correctly.
- the two packages are not 100% compatible.

Either way you will probably need to contact the package owners for help.

Solution 1

Possibly some insight here: #59384 (boost uses zstd if present) – MacPorts[^].

This, "error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol", means the linker can't find a module it needs to build the program. This is usually caused by the module not being built or it was built and can't be found in the directories the linker is looking in.

Do you have a compiled version of the zstd library? If so, is the linker looking for it where it is located?
