I am trying out boost::fiber library, but I couldn't manage to compile code with boost fiber. Therefore I turned into compiling and running boost official examples. I installed latest version of boost library 1.65.1, and installation seems to be fine. I executed following command to compile simple.cpp
g++ -I /usr/local/include/boost/ -L /usr/local/lib/ -lboost_fiber -std=c++11 libs/fiber/examples/simple.cpp
But I get the following complains:

Libraries (-l) should be specified after source/object files. The best place to specify -l is at the end of the command.
And boost_fiber depends upon boost_context.
So you'll need -lboost_fiber -lboost_context at the end of the command line.
