Getting huge error spew from GtkD on a simple program - d

I installed GtkD from AUR, and now I'm trying to compile this tutorial code. Both for compiling GtkD itself and the tutorial code, I'm using GDC 4.9.1.
I attempted to compile the code as follows (hello.d is the file name):
gdc -Wall -Werror -Wdeprecated -Wunknown-pragmas -g -m64 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkd-2` -O3 -frelease -o hello
But when I try that, I get this:
/tmp/ccxejYOB.o: In function `_Dmain':
/home/koz/Documents/Programming/D/gtkd/hello.d:23: undefined reference to `_D3gtk4Main4Main4initFKAAyaZv'

I have no clue what's going on here, and would appreciate all the help possible.

GtkD in the AUR is compiled using DMD. ABI compatibility between DMD and GDC binaries is not guaranteed and linking may fail as in your case. (Linking may also succeed and you get runtime problems). To troubleshoot the issue, you can try using DMD and see if that solves your issue.
Anyway, I would recommend using dub and gtk-d library from the dub registry. Dub will take care of the compilation of your source code and gtk-d's code and linking them together. And it will enable you to use any compiler easily.
If you don't want to use dub, you can also download gtk-d and build it yourself using GDC.

Boost regex: Undefined references when linking

Until some weeks ago, using the boost_regex library I used to compile a C++ file test.cpp using the following command.
g++-4.9 -Wall -O3 -march=native -flto -DNDEBUG -o test \
--std=c++14 test.cpp -lboost_regex -pthread
The compilation was working perfectly. But at some point, I needed to upgrade my OS (more precisely, it was Ubuntu 14.04, now it is Ubuntu 16.04).
I kept my local folders with my data, and I also installed the Boost library again in the new system, including boost_regex.
The Boost version in the new system is 1.58, unfortunately I cannot know which Boost version I was using before because it is now deleted.
I try to compile again the same file in the new system, with the same command as above, and the linker says it cannot find two functions called maybe_assign and construct_init. If I replace the -o test option with just -c (i.e. without linking) then the program is compiled without errors.
More precisely, when I try to do linking I get the following errors (they were extremely long, I hade to shorten using ... dots).
In function `boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<...>::match_match()':
undefined reference to `boost::match_results<...>::maybe_assign(boost::match_results<...> const&)'
In function `bool boost::regex_search<...>(...)':
undefined reference to `boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<...>::construct_init(...)'
In function `boost::re_detail::perl_matcher<...>::match_prefix()':
undefined reference to `boost::match_results<...>::maybe_assign(boost::match_results<...> const&)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I really don't know how this is possible, the libraries seem perfectly installed, nothing seems missing, and the compilation was working with a previous OS installation (then I guess older libraries).
At these point my only guess could be that Boost authors removed such functions? (maybe they are obsolete?). But I didn't find any trace of this on internet. If this is the case, how can I know the boost versions in which such functions are available?
Am I doing any mistake? Do you have any suggestions to investigate about this?
TL;DR use gcc5.
Ununtu 16.04 comes with gcc5 by default. Every C++ library in it is compiled with that compiler.
Now there was an incompatible C++ ABI change between gcc4 and gcc5. It made binaries built from C++ sources with gcc4 incompatible by default with binaries built with gcc5. This incompatibility often manifests itself as a bunch of undefined symbols that reference std::string and/or std::list.
The standard library comes built with a dual ABI to support objects built with older compilers. Other libraries like boost, hovever, don't.

GCC 4.8 fails while linking with libmagic

I am struggling with the issue while linking my code against libmagic:
test.c:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `magic_open'
test.c:(.text+0x50): undefined reference to `magic_load'
test.c:(.text+0x60): undefined reference to `magic_error'
test.c:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `magic_close'
test.c:(.text+0x9e): undefined reference to `magic_file'
test.c:(.text+0xba): undefined reference to `magic_close'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
However the issue appears only when gcc version > 4.4. To compile, I am using the the following command:
gcc -L/usr/lib/ -lmagic test.c -o test
An example code that uses libmagic might be found here. I have checked and this issue appears as well. Obviously the libmagic and libmagic-dev are installed on my system (Ubuntu 14.04).
Is there any way of handling this issue different thant downgrading gcc version?
This is a FAQ, unrelated to your version of GCC.
I don't think that your compilation succeeded with gcc-4.3
Order of arguments to gcc matter a lot (see e.g. this); object files and libraries should go last (from the high-level to the low-level ones). Try with
gcc -Wall -g test.c -lmagic -o mytest
BTW, don't call your executable test (but e.g. mytest) since test is often a shell builtin.

Cepstral Example Compile Error

I'm trying to build a C++ program that incorporates Cepstral's voice synthesis features. The library was already downloaded on the machine by my predecessor but apparently he never got around to using it. The documentation is pretty much non-existent (there is a single forum that doesn't really have anything helpful). All of their included examples are in C and lack a MakeFile so I'm trying to compile them myself. The little documentation there is simply tells me I need to link to the libswift.so library.
It is a Ubuntu 12.04.5 OS and I tried this compile command
g++ -Wall -g tts.c -o tts -I/opt/swift/include -L/opt/swift/lib -lswift -lm
Which gives this error
/opt/swift/lib/libswift.so: undefined reference to 'sin'
/opt/swift/lib/libswift.so: undefined reference to 'exp'
/opt/swift/lib/libswift.so: undefined reference to 'cos'
/opt/swift/lib/libswift.so: undefined reference to 'log'
/opt/swift/lib/libswift.so: undefined reference to 'pow'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This seems to indicate that -lm is not properly linking for some reason (I also tried switching the order of m and swift for the same result).
I usually use C++ and have very little C experience. I also frequently use Makefiles or edit previous/provided Makefiles and rarely call g++ itself so it's possible I'm missing something fairly obvious. Thanks.

V8 "Hello World" Example - Compiling on Ubuntu 13.10 - tons of undefined reference errors "icu_46"

I am trying to follow the basic "hello world" example for Google's V8 as found here. I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, gcc version 4.8.1; this should be straighforward, no?
After building v8 itself and creating the hello world .cpp file,
I run (exactly** as Google suggests)
** Update: Okay, per my comments on the accepted answer below, I unwittingly wasn't running it exactly as Google suggests, because I thought the braces in the file name were an instruction to the reader to choose one option, not a
syntax that g++ would understand. Nontheless, it still doesn't work except with the additions suggested in the answer below
g++ -Iinclude helloworld.cpp -o hello_world out/x64.debug/obj.target/tools/gyp/libv8_base.x64.a -lpthread
And get bombarded with compile errors. There are too many to print here, but nearly all the errors are of the form:
undefined reference to 'icu_46 ...'
for example (some sample lines)
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/../src/i18n.cc:138: undefined reference to `icu_46::UnicodeString::~UnicodeString()'
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/../src/i18n.cc:125: undefined reference to `icu_46::UnicodeString::~UnicodeString()'
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/../src/i18n.cc:147: undefined reference to `icu_46::UnicodeString::~UnicodeString()'
After much Googling I can figure out this has something to do with something called ICU (see http://userguide.icu-project.org/howtouseicu) but why I'm getting the error, and what I can do about it, I don't know.
While the majority of errors are icu_46 related, there are some like this as well, from the 'bootstrapper.o':
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/x64.debug/obj.target/v8_base.x64/src/bootstrapper.o: In function `v8::internal::Bootstrapper::NativesSourceLookup(int)':
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/../src/bootstrapper.cc:77: undefined reference to `v8::internal::NativesCollection<(v8::internal::NativeType)0>::GetBuiltinsCount()'
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/../src/bootstrapper.cc:81: undefined reference to `v8::internal::NativesCollection<(v8::internal::NativeType)0>::GetRawScriptSource(int)'
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/x64.debug/obj.target/v8_base.x64/src/bootstrapper.o: In function `v8::internal::Genesis::CompileBuiltin(v8::internal::Isolate*, int)':
/home/ray/Playground/v8/out/../src/bootstrapper.cc:1448: undefined reference to `v8::internal::NativesCollection<(v8::internal::NativeType)0>::GetScriptName(int)'
I'm Googled endlessly on this and have found signs that other people have run into the issue but no solutions. Any help will be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
I had the same problem on Ubuntu 12.04, g++ 4.6.3 and v8 3.22.18.
To compile hello_world.cc successfully it is necessary to add icu .a libraries and link to rt library too. As you have built v8 with make x64.debug your completed command should be:
g++ -Wall -Iinclude -o hello_world hello_world.cc ./out/x64.debug/obj.target/tools/gyp/libv8_{base.x64,snapshot}.a ./out/x64.debug/obj.target/third_party/icu/libicu{i18n,uc,data}.a -lrt

MinGW linker error: winsock

I am using MinGW compiler on Windows to compile my C++ application with sockets. My command for linking looks like:
g++.exe -Wall -Wno-long-long -pedantic -lwsock32 -o dist/Windows/piskvorky { there are a lot of object files }
and I have also tried
g++.exe -Wall -Wno-long-long -pedantic -lws2_32 -o dist/Windows/piskvorky { there are a lot of object files }
but in both case I get this error:

Do you have any ideas where the problem can be, please?
Put the -lws2_32 AFTER the list of object files - GCC searches libraries and object files in the order they appear on the command line.
Just to help the other viewers out there:
gcc hello.c -o hello.o -lws2_32
With MinGW on eclipse:
Menu >> Project >> Properties >> C/C++ Build >> Settings: Register "Tool Settings" - MinGW C Linker - Miscellaneous: Lower Part "other objects"
Add: "D:\Programmierung\mingw\lib\libwsock32.a" for example. No other entries for libwsock32.a on any other properties required, especially not in Library-entries. Also no flags relating to this Lib.
In:
Menu - Project - Properties - c/c++Build - Settings: Register "Tool Settings" - MinGW C++ Linker - Miscellaneous: Lower Part "other objects"
Add: libwsock32.a from bin folder of MinGW.
Greetings I just went through the problem above....
So here are some observations first off....
I know you are refering to MinGw, but you may need cygwin to get around this, I don't know mingw that well, I know cygwin better. But I know that they are cousins of each other.
Cygwin comes with the precompiled boost libraries, but who knows of which version they are. I'm sure it's possible to check, but who has time to do that right? I do not link against cygwin boost libraries, or the mingw boost libraries, I built boost from scratch using gcc on windows (cygwin). The compile did fine.
At the time of this writing boost is on version 1.47.0 I beleive.
Already that fact that cygwin uses version (x?) and boost is 1.47.0 could be a major issue. Make you know what you are using in the way of boost.
I was using code developed on boost 1.42, and had related linker errors. The code compiled, headers were found, etc..etc... but then I got the undefined reference to WSA etc...etc...opensocket this, close socket that, etc....
So, apparantly boost, in order to do network sockets, requires a platform library, in which was found in the form of ws2_32 for windows, and socket for linux for sure.
So if you are properly using boost, and including the correct boost system libraries, you may also need an OS specific library to access some resources (networking in this case).
Linker errors dissappear after that. It's probably obvious to boost veterans what's going on here, but I was unable to find a clear answer via google.
