$clang++ main.cpp -o out
Got following error, the same error happens when changing to g++. I have tested on some simple simple c++ code, the command works fine. So it the problem in that PNG class file? However, the same files worked on my MacOS before, but suddenly failed today.

Did you miss providing static/shared to the linker to resolve the linker errors for the methods mentioned? Also note that clang++ is a different compiler compared to g++ and hence need the static/shared libraries compiled prior by the same compiler you are using (clang++).
Try:
clang++ main.cpp -o out -lpng
Here's why: You are not providing the library that contains the implementation of your PNG library (libpng most likely). You need -lpng added to your compiler, so that it links with the relevant library. It may not be exactly -lpng in your particular case, but it's definitely a "missing library". Without knowing exactly what library you are trying to use (you didn't provide some source to "try the fix with").
As pointed out in the comment: you are using some kind of C++ wrapper on top, the above is probably not enough - but without knowing exactly which C++ wrapper on the png functionality you are actually using, it's hard to say what the command-line should look like.

so I've been trying to install OpenCV with C++ on my mac using this tutorial: https://medium.com/#jaskaranvirdi/setting-up-opencv-and-c-development-environment-in-xcode-b6027728003 but I keep getting this error on Xcode:
" 'opencv2/core.hpp' file not found "
I tried setting both Library Search Paths and Header Search Paths to recursive but it didn't change anything
I've also been getting this error on the terminal, I don't know if it's related. I think it's important to note that this isn't my first time trying to install opencv and I don't know if it's the old versions that keep messing with it. I tried to cleanup everything before installing this version but I'm not sure.

I am new to cpp, want to have a implementation of particle filter, I try to run the code here https://github.com/NewProggie/Particle-Filter, which is a structured and easy understanding project. But when I try to compile and link:

Any kind person has ideas about this problem? Thanks in advance
have gsl installed properly
B) pass to g++ a reference to the lib directory where the gsl libraries are located (probably something like /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, these should both be default locations for the linker to search), and also to where the header files are, and also tell the linker to do the linking.
g++ -o <name of executable> -L/path/to/gsl/libs -I/path/to/headers -lgsl <name of source file>
the -L tells it where to find the libraries (.so files on linux, .dylib on OS X), -I tells it where to find the headers, -l (that's a lower case L) tells it to link to the library, which would be named libgsl.so or libgsl.dylib.
First just try adding the -lgsl flag, then if it can't find libgsl.so (or .dylib), add the -L flag. NOTE: /path/to/gsl/libs and /path/to/headers are not what you should literally put in there, but replace them with the actual paths on your system.

I am using OpenCV to record the video from webcam. I used Xcode 6.4 to write a (C++) code to record the video on OS X Yosemite 10.10.4. It is working perfectly fine when I compile and run it from Xcode but when I want to compile (using g++ -o main main.cpp) it from terminal it generates following errors:

I know its because it can't link OpenCV lib. I tried using "vi
$HOME/.bash_profile" and then setting path like
"export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/include"
and
"export PATH=$PATH:/user/local/lib"
but it doesn't help. Also I tried
g++ -o main main.cpp -l `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs`
but of no use.
I don't know how to specify path. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Finally, after 3 days of frustration I found the solution. I am sharing for someone who is also struggling with the same kind of problem.
What you have to do is just add all those flags that you added in the Xcode "other linker flags" while compiling your code from terminal. So here is the command that works for me.
g++ main.cpp -o main -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lopencv_core -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_videoio -lopencv_video -lopencv_videostab -lopencv_highgui
I didn't include all the flags because I was only working with videos but you may have to add more or less depending on what you are working on.
I'm trying to compile the Sam Hare's Struck code.
I'm using mac OSX10.9, opencv 2.4.6 and Eigen 2.0.17.
Eigen and opencv headers are stored in /opt/local/include while opencv dylib in /opt/local/lib.
I modified the Hare's Makefile to work on this folder. When I type make on the terminal:
g++ -L/opt/local/lib -lopencv_core -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_imgproc src/Config.o src/Features.o src/HaarFeature.o src/HaarFeatures.o src/HistogramFeatures.o src/ImageRep.o src/LaRank.o src/MultiFeatures.o src/RawFeatures.o src/Sampler.o src/Tracker.o src/main.o src/GraphUtils/GraphUtils.o -o struck
I get these errors:

Any ideas? Thanks!
I had a similar warning/error/failure when I was simply trying to make an executable from two different object files (main.o and add.o). I was using the command:
gcc -o exec main.o add.o
But my program is a C++ program. Using the g++ compiler solved my issue:
g++ -o exec main.o add.o
I was always under the impression that gcc could figure these things out on its own. Apparently not. I hope this helps someone else searching for this error.
finally solved my problem.
I created a new project in XCode with the sources and changed the C++ Standard Library from the default libc++ to libstdc++ as in this and this.
I am getting the same error. I don't think it is a "fix", but my work-around is to also include the cpp file. So instead of just putting
#include "MyClass.h"
I have to put
#include "MyClass.h"
#include "MyClass.cpp"
I wrote my declarition in the .h file
class String
{
String (const char * cstr = 0);
};
and I used inline in another .cpp file (implementation)
inline String::String(const char * cstr)
{
//code ...
}
then I use g++ and get this:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"String::String(char const*)", referenced from:
_main in test-d389f3.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
solution: do not write inline when declarition and implementation is independent.
When I using clang to compile a C++ program, I have the similar error.
But after I changing to use chang++, the compilation worked.
I'm trying to use Poco C++ library to do the simple http requests in C++ on Mac OS X 10.8.2. I installed Poco, copy-pasted the http_request.cc code from this tutorial, ran it with 'g++ -o http_get http_get.cc -lPocoNet', but got:

the Poco::URI, Poco::StreamCopier classes are in the PocoFoundation library, so you will need to link to that library also.
g++ -o http_get http_get.cc -lPocoNet -lPocoFoundation
You don't appear to have specified the include path for the library and the library to use when compiling your source.
You need to provide the -I and the -L directive to g++ to specify the include path for the library and the library itself respsectively.
