undefined reference to `shm_open' already with -L /lib -lrt -lpthread - c++

I just want to use the boost library to create a shared memory on an ARM system. It work fine if you want to compile it only under ubuntu. However, when I want to cross compile it with TI's CCSv6 and angstrom toolchain, it keep pushing errors.
Because I do not know how to write a makefile for cross compile, I think using TI their own IDE might be a good choice to avoid further problems.
Here is my code and print out of build console.
#include <boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp>
#include <boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace boost::interprocess;
int main()
{
shared_memory_object shdmem{open_or_create, "Boost1", read_write};
shdmem.truncate(1024);
mapped_region region{shdmem, read_write};
}
g++ -std=c++0x -I/usr/include -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -L /lib -lrt -lpthread -fPIC
The IDE called Code Composer Studio has cross compile settings as below:
Prefix: arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
Path: /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi
Build Console:
/usr/include/boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp:309: undefined reference to shm_open'
/usr/include/boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp:315: undefined reference toshm_open'
/usr/include/boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp:327: undefined reference to shm_open'
/usr/include/boost/interprocess/shared_memory_object.hpp:334: undefined reference toshm_open'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test] Error 1

undefined reference to shm_open' means it cannot find -lrt for ARM.
In your build command line you need to specify include and library paths to ARM built libraries, not to Ubuntu ones. So -I/usr/include and -L /lib is wrong.
Also you need boost built for ARM, although if you just want to use interprocess library then boost headers should be enough. But you need to copy them into different location because including them from /usr/include includes also other headers specific to Ubuntu.
You can use the cross compiler IDE you mentioned or arm g++ cross compiler which you can install by:
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf. Some headers and libraries for ARM will be installed too.

g++ building c++ program with boost dependencies

I want to compile and run a simple c++ websocket application with g++ on windows.
Boost was installed like this:
./bootstrap.bat mingw
./b2.exe install --prefix=C:/boostLibs toolset=gcc
My c++ includes look like this:
#include <websocketpp/config/asio_no_tls.hpp>
#include <websocketpp/server.hpp>
#include <iostream>
This websocket sample was provided by https://github.com/zaphoyd/websocketpp
In order to build the project I issue this command:
g++ -Wno-deprecated -I ./cppServer/libs/ -I C:\boostLibs\include\boost-1_55 -L C:\boostLibs\lib -g ./cppServer/server.cpp -lboost_system
Which leeds me to this error message:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/6.3.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lboost_system
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
If I try to build without -lboost_system, I get a very long exception, starting with:
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:222: undefined reference to boost::system::generic_category()'
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:223: undefined reference toboost::system::generic_category()'
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:224: undefined reference to boost::system::system_category()'
C:\Users\JOHANN~1.HAS\AppData\Local\Temp\ccpKMWTH.o: In functionZN5boost6system10error_codeC1Ev':
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:323: undefined reference to boost::system::system_category()'
C:\Users\JOHANN~1.HAS\AppData\Local\Temp\ccpKMWTH.o: In functionZN5boost6system4errc20make_error_conditionENS1_6errc_tE':
C:/boostLibs/include/boost-1_55/boost/system/error_code.hpp:488: undefined reference to boost::system::generic_category()'
C:\Users\JOHANN~1.HAS\AppData\Local\Temp\ccpKMWTH.o: In functionZN5boost16thread_exceptionC2EiPKc'
So what am I missing? I can't figure it out right now.
Link to boost_system as -lboost_system-mgw63-mt-1_55, because this is what those files are called. See boost library naming for more details.
When you build boost you may like to specify --layout=system to b2.exe so that your files do not have that -mgw63-mt-1_55 in the filename and then just use -lboost_system when linking against it.

Boost library issues

I am trying to compile a simple c++ program using g++ which contains boost includes but i am getting the following error. I installed it from the tar file found in the boost site. I get the following error only with the asio library.
$ g++ -std=c++03 -Wall -pedantic -g -O2 tcp.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_date_time -lboost_thread -lboost_asio
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_asio
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Boost Asio is header only.
Drop -lboost_asio
ASIO doesn't have a library built for it, so indicating -lboost_asio as an option doesn't really make sense.
However, ASIO does have a dependency on boost.system, which does require a library be built for it.
Make sure you've properly built the boost library in the first place (correct optimization flags, correct Runtime-Library linking, correct architecture, and so on), and that the generated library files (the .so files, in your case) are accessible to the executable.

compiling boost.asio using g++ compiler

I'm new to g++ compiler and also trying to start coding with boost.asio libraries, but have some difficulties compiling the code using g++.
I have installed boost libraries usingsudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev and boost folder is located in /usr/include directory, and whole scenario:
geek#ubuntu:~/workspace/HelloBoost/src$ g++ -I /usr/include/ -l boost_asio HelloBoost.cpp
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_asio
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Thanks for your answers.
Did you read about using boost.asio ? Apparently, it looks like a headers only library, and you only need to link -lboost_system -lboost_regex -lopenssl

Trouble with the compilation using libcurl on Windows XP

I downloaded the libcurl curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw32.zip from http://curl.haxx.se/gknw.net/7.34.0/dist-w32/curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw32.zip.
I use Eclipse Kepler with MinGW as the toolchain (GCC compiler). I created html.cpp and then test the code from the example http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simple.html:
I included the headers:
#include<iostream>
#include<curl/curl.h>
using namespace std;
There are 5 cURL functions. Only 2 of them (curl_easy_init,curl_easy_setopt)are said to be 'undefined reference'.
The compiler message:
Info: Internal Builder is used for build
g++ -O3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o html.o "..\\html.cpp"
g++ -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -o HTML.exe html.o
html.o:html.cpp:(.text.startup+0x12): undefined reference to `_imp__curl_easy_init'
html.o:html.cpp:(.text.startup+0x1e): undefined reference to `_imp__curl_easy_setopt'
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: html.o: bad reloc address 0x1e in section `.text.startup'
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: final link failed: Invalid operation
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The other 3 functions said to be fine:
curl_easy_perform
curl_easy_strerror
curl_easy_cleanup
I have tried to set to properties to tell the MinGW linker to include the headers and library files. The same situation as the above or the compiler simply says the .a files not found. Adding -lcurl or -DCURL_STATICLIB to the linker's flag is useless as well.
I have also tried to copy the libraries(.a files) and the headers(.h files) of libcurl to the folders bin, include and lib inside C:\MinGW and C:\gcc-4.8.1. It turns out to be no change.
Sadly, the first challenge of using cURL is not coding but the compilation. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks you guys!

Compile C++ and OpenSSL on Ubuntu 11.10

I got a serious problem compiling my C++ and OpenSSL project on my Ubuntu 11.10.
The compiling command is:
g++ -Wall -lssl -lm -lcrypto -I ./src ./src/server.cpp -o ./bin/server
I receive these errors:
server.cpp:(.text+0x8ff): undefined reference to `RSA_new'
server.cpp:(.text+0x92d): undefined reference to `PEM_read_RSAPrivateKey'
server.cpp:(.text+0xa85): undefined reference to `RSA_size'
server.cpp:(.text+0xaa1): undefined reference to `RSA_size'
server.cpp:(.text+0xae7): undefined reference to `RSA_private_decrypt'
server.cpp:(.text+0xd84): undefined reference to `BF_set_key'
server.cpp:(.text+0xf1d): undefined reference to `BF_ecb_encrypt'
server.cpp:(.text+0x13c6): undefined reference to `BF_ecb_encrypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [server] Error 1
I successfully installed openssl and libssl-dev but the problem persists.
I tried to compile the project on Linux Mint 12 with the kernel 3.0 and I had the same problem.
On my old Linux OS with the kernel 2.6 the project compiled and worked fine (using the same Makefile and the same sources).
Please help me!
Generally you need to have the -l link flags after the code that references them. Try
g++ -Wall -I ./src ./src/server.cpp -o ./bin/server -lssl -lm -lcrypto
As the comment to this answer states, the linker only looks for undefined symbols to include in the order the parameters are listed.
That is, if your cpp file uses the libraries, the libraries have to be listed after the cpp file.
Those error are from crypto library, check whether ssl and crypto libraries are available in /usr/lib or where ever u installed if not install them and have u set the library search path for libssl and libcrypto in your compiling command?
