undefined reference to main for shared library - c++

I am trying to build a box-standard shared library (using code::blocks 13.12 on ubuntu) which obviously does not have a main function as compiles perfectly fine on windows. I am getting a bunch of relocation errors + undefined reference to main??
Any suggestions? I have pasted output below.
cheers,
Mike

Your link command is missing -shared flag, which is required to link a shared library.
Unfortunately, your build system did not print the link command that failed.
The error is trivially reproduced like so:
echo "int foo() { return 0; }" | gcc -xc -
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o(.debug_info): relocation 0 has invalid symbol index 11

g++ crashed when I tried to compile a program with ONE LINE

My program is this:

That's it. That's the entire program, just one line.
I tried to compile it with this:

I've compiled dozens of other .cpp files over the past few weeks, and many, many other programs. What exactly is happening here?
You haven't defined main() function in your program.
As said in error:
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
PS:
This is not crash of g++, it just shows error message when can't find definition of main().
Your g++ did not crash. It has just and rightfully emitted some error message, then it completed successfully (with a failure exit code). Actually the error message is given by the linker ld (which g++ has run after running the cc1plus compiler proper).
Your code does not has any main function (which is the function that starts execution, after construction of static variables, in C++), so you cannot compile it into an executable.
BTW, you should always compile your code with all warnings & debug info, so use
g++ -Wall -g CVB--OpenPic--00.cpp -o cv
Once you did debug your program (using the gdb debugger) you might want to benchmark it. Then ask the compiler to optimize (e.g. by adding -O2 option to g++).
Notice that order of arguments to g++ matters a big lot.
Once your program becomes larger and made of several translation units (e.g. several .cpp files, probably all #include-ing your header file[s]), you'll want to use a build automation tool (like make). Learn also to use a version control system like git and a memory leak detector like valgrind.

cannot access ‘/home/ubuntu/workspace/runme’

I'm new to C++ and Cloud9 but this seems to be a Cloud9-specific issue? I'm trying to run this:
hello-cpp-world.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include "HelloWorld.h"
int HelloWorld::main() {

std::cout<<"h file works"<<std::endl;
}
HelloWorld.h
#ifndef _HELLO_WORLD
#define _HELLO_WORLD
class HelloWorld{

void draw();
};
#endif

I don't know what's wrong, because I have a main() in the header and I don't know where I'm supposed to get a runme file.
Your main problem is that you made int main() a member of a class. Don't do that. C++ is not Java.
int main() should be a free (or "global", kinda) function.
You can see that main didn't work from all the "relocation" errors, and from this:
undefined reference to `main'
The only reason you're getting a "No such file or directory" error is because your script is trying to chmod and then execute your program, but your program failed to be built so the executable does not exist yet. Your build script really should take the build result into account.

Boost.Tests where is entry point? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Boost test linking
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm using JetBrain's CLion and try to run some boost tests, but they won't.
Here's my code:
#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN 1
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE !
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <iostream>
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(MyTest) {
BOOST_CHECK(false);
}
int main() {
std::cout << "in main!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
and my cmake file :
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
set(BOOST_ROOT /home/vitalii/Downloads/boost_1_57_0)
find_package(Boost 1.57 COMPONENTS unit_test_framework REQUIRED)
add_executable(justForFun ${SOURCE_FILES})
if (Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(justForFun ${Boost_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIBRARY})
else()
message(FATAL "Boost not found")
endif()
enable_testing()
The problem is that the output wil be just "in main". And test won't launch. I figured i don't need 'main' function. It should be created automatically. But If i delete it then I get these errors :

Can someone please help me ?
You wrote
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE !
In the examples I have found BOOST_TEST_MODULE is defined as some valid identifier, e.g.
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MyModule
This works in my project as well. If you define your own main() function instead, I guess that BOOST_TEST_MODULE is not used at all which explains your result.
Further reference is found here.

undefined reference to main in code blocks

A bit of the backstory: I first used Eclipse but it had trouble resolving namespace std so I switched to code::blocks and now I'm having this problem.
Everything went through debugging just fine except for one error: In function '_start': undefined reference to 'main' (.text+0x20). However, I have the main() defined and there's nothing fancy in it.
code::blocks version: 13.12
compiler: GNU gcc, have the g++ follow c++11
Thanks in advance.
There's nothing special in the main function
//: "main.cpp"
#include "bar.h"
#include "foo.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int num;
bar bar_;
foo foo_;
num = calc(bar_, foo_);
cout << num << endl;
return 0;
}
This is the Build Log:

cout << << num << endl; is invalid (note the two repeated <<). This means your main.cpp shouldn't even compile.
In your linking command, you're not linking main.o (the compiled object file for main.cpp). You're linking foo.o and bar.o, but you're missing main.o.
How you need to fix this:
Fix your code in main.cpp
Compile main.cpp to get the object file main.o
Link all the object files together.
Hmmm..
As per code block website, when such error occure,
"Dont look at Build Message tab, look at Build log tab"
In my case:
it was showing one .so file which is missing in linker.
Here is quick solution:
Setting>>compiler>>Linker Setting tab>>add path to .so file (which was pointed in build log)
Just ensure that the .so to add is really exist on your system.
Hope this helps.Cheers.

Weird linker errors involving `crti.o` and `crt1.o`

I have read "solutions" to similar problems here:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
I have tried reinstalling libc-dev, binutils, build-install, gcc-multilib, and the linking solution sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib64.
The command find /usr/ -name crti* gives:
/usr/libx32/crti.o
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o
/usr/lib32/crti.o
The errors I am getting are:

So, apparently something I did worked... because after running make clean ...
well,
g++ -Wall -std=c++11 -c 108.cpp -o 108.o
g++ 108.o -o prob-108 -Wall -std=c++11
It built fine. I forgot to clean after fixing the linking errors... somehow.
Sorry for the wild goose chase, guess this will go down as an unsolved mystery.
My hunch is that export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LIBRARY_PATH worked.
