Unable to generate executable file using compiler - c++

Question

I am trying to compile my source code using riscv64-unknown-elf-g++ compiler into a binary file but I am getting this warning and unable to generate exec file:
warning for library: libofdm.a the table of contents is empty (no object file members in the library define global symbols)
referring to this issue before:
Can't make my c++ file into a library with compiler
as suggested in the above answer the same toolchain is used to compile the object file to create the library. Even though I am getting the error. Below I am attaching the whole command line used to compile.

and FYI I am using mac machine. I am Specifying this because I saw in a post with "clang warnings macOS #3331".
