Compile time error: undefined reference to CryptoPP::StringStore::TransferTo2 - c++

Question

I am trying to run a sample program to create a SHA-1 hash using Cryptopp library in C++.
I have installed these packages on my system (running Ubuntu 20.04):
sudo apt-get install libcrypto++-dev libcrypto++-doc libcrypto++-utils
Here's the code of sample program I'm trying to run:
// test.cpp
#include "cryptopp/cryptlib.h"
#include "cryptopp/sha.h"
#include "cryptopp/files.h"
#include "cryptopp/hex.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
using namespace CryptoPP;
HexEncoder encoder(new FileSink(std::cout));
std::string msg = "Yoda said, Do or do not. There is no try.";
std::string digest;
SHA1 hash;
hash.Update((const byte *)msg.data(), msg.size());
digest.resize(hash.DigestSize());
hash.Final((byte *)&digest[0]);
std::cout << "Message: " << msg << std::endl;
std::cout << "Digest: ";
StringSource(digest, true, new Redirector(encoder));
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Upon compiling the program with given command, I am getting these errors:

Does anyone know why the program fails to compile?

Answer 1

I have tried your codes and it seems that you need to include the header file "cryptopp/filters.h", after that, bugs may be solved.
