compile error in VeridisBiometricSDK_5.0_Linux sample: MatchingExample - c++

Question

I try to use VeridisBiometricSDK_5.0_Linux which is free Biometric library which has samples I tired to compile MatchingExample by doing exactly what the Readme file said :
make MatchingExample.cpp
but I have this error result:
root#localhost MatchingExample]# make MatchingExample
g++ -Wall -g MatchingExample.cpp -o ../../../bin/MatchingExample -I../../../include/ -L../../../lib/ -lVrBio -lpthread -ludev -lusb -lusb-1.0 -ldl

this is the Makefile codes:

==========================
aslo this is the ReadMe file content
In the AsyncCaptureExample folder there is a Makefile. This Makefile can be used for all the
other cpp examples.
To compile use: make
For example: make AsyncCaptureExample
The output will be generated in the bin folder.
also this is the VeridisBiometricSDK_5.0 ReadMe file:
1 - install necessary packages:
*libudev
*libusb
*libusb-1.0
*fxload
2 - In the misc folder there are files necessary for the program access the USB with the extension .rules. Copy them
to /etc/udev/rules.d folder or equivalent
3 - mkdir /usr/share/usb and copy the .hex files of the misc folder there
4 - Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the path to the .so files
5 - copy the file UFLicense.dat, which is in the misc folder, to the folder of your application
if you use suprema readers.
would you please help me?
UPDATE
I am so close to solve my problem:
First, I found solution for installing libtiff.so.4 for Ubuntu on this the following link:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/457011/why-is-libtiff-so-4-not-recognized
Second, I convert the same Ubuntu library package into centos rpm using alien tool as the following:
alien -r -g libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
Third, I Installed libtiff4-3.9.7-3.x86_64.rpm (which is result from alien converting) on my Centos 6.7 it installed successfully but when try make my samples I supersized that libtiff.so.4 requires 2 library which are
[root#localhost]# readelf -d /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libjbig.so.0]
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libjpeg.so.8]
I installed libjpeg.so.8 from source code library from jpegsrc.v8.tar.gz and it worked well
But I couldn’t find any suitable package to fix missing libbig.so.0 library
So would you help me to fix this missing library…
By way the when I fixed my problem, I will explain the all solution so it will be useful for any one

Answer 1

Finally I solved my problem
if you read my problem you would know that my problem is missing libtiff.so.4
I fixed it,
my solutions steps as follows
first
if you dipslay current libtiff.so by using this command
[yaserco#localhost Desktop]$ locate libtiff.so
/usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3
so I made symble link to libtiff.so.3
ln -s /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.4
after I tested my sample it diplayed this 2 error messages
tried this solution: first create symbolic link ln -s /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.3.9.4 /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.4 then I did the command [root#localhost MatchingExample]# make MatchingExample it had an error result as:
MatchingExample.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
MatchingExample.cpp:47: warning: deprecated conversion from
string constant to ‘char*’ MatchingExample.cpp:55: warning: deprecated
conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ ../../../lib//libVrBio.so:
undefined reference to __fdelt_chk#GLIBC_2.15' ../../../lib//libVrBio.so:
undefined reference to memcpy#GLIBC_2.14'
second
I solved this error by installing
A-
glibc for (GLIBC_2.14) as the follows:
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.16.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf glibc-2.16.0.tar.gz
cd glibc-2.16.0
mkdir glibc-build
cd glibc-build
../configure --prefix='/usr'
B-
We have to fix a little typo, so run:
nano +171 ../scripts/test-installation.pl
and replace if (/$ld_so_name/) { with if (/\Q$ld_so_name\E/) {
:
make
sudo make install

https://github.com/FezVrasta/ark-server-tools/wiki/Install-of-required-versions-of-glibc-and-gcc-on-RHEL-CentOS
then when I compile my sample it worked well
