I am trying to setup google test with Eclipse.
This is what I have done so far:
Initial Setup:
Installed CDT on Eclipse Helios.
Downloaded and installed Cygwin.
Downloaded and extracted gtest.
built gtest using cygwin make using the default makefile.
In eclipse:
Created an empty executable c++ project with Cygwin in ToolChain.
Added "[gtest_dir]\include" in C++ Build/Settings/Cygwin C++ Compiler
Added library path as "[gtest_dir]\make" under C++ Build/Settings/Cygwin C++ Linker
Builder was already GNU Make builder
Wrote some example C++ code and built project.
I am facing the following error when I build the project:
Building target: SampleCpp.exe
Invoking: Cygwin C++ Linker
g++ -L/cygdrive/d/gtest-1.7.0/make -o"SampleCpp.exe" ./src/Counter.o ./src/Counter_tests.o -lgtest
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.8.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtest
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
makefile:45: recipe for target 'SampleCpp.exe' failed
What am I missing?
EDIT 1 : [gtest_dir]\make contains two .a files -
gtest.a and gtest_main.a
Also I'm using Eclipse Helios
EDIT 2 :
It worked after I renamed gtest.a to gtest.lib. Is this the expected naming format for a library on Windows?
In project properties for your configuration, under C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings > Cygwin C++ Linker > Miscellaneous > Other Objects, add $GTEST_DIR/make/gtest_main.a.
This makes the linker see gtest_main.a as an archive of object files, rather than a library.

I am trying to run gtest on the codeblocks ide in ubuntu 17.10. It keeps coming back with undefined reference to "x" error.
After some googling it seems that that the ide is missing linker libraries for gtest. Where may I find the linker libraries for gtest?
I have installed gtest using this command:
sudo apt install libgtest-dev
and test built it using this command:
g++ -I /usr/include/gtest -I /usr/src/gtest/ -c /usr/src/gtest/src/gtest-all.cc
The linker to gtest is -lgtest wich you should add in project/build options/Linker settings -> other linker options. Make sure to select the right target (Debug/release) on the left menu.
A good step by step guide has been made here
Based on the answer by Some programmer referencing linking googletestand codeblocks
I found libgtest.a and pthread in the following directories:
/usr/lib/libgtest.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so
I added the two files through Settings --> Compiler... --> Linker Settings
My test now compiles.
I am attempting to add an existing library to Eclipse. I use a cross compiler for C++ with the Eclipse IDE, installed on a virtual linux debian machine.
The mmapGpio lib is found here.
/mmapGpioBasicRev1.tar.gz has a cpp and an h file with a small demo program.
I have compiled this code without a problem. A .o file is generated. I've archived the file successfully with ar -q libmmapGpio.a mmapgpio.o
I've placed my libmmapGpio.a in ~/.../UserLib directory
I've placed my mmapGpio.h in ~/.../UserInclude
At this point all is OK.
I open a new project that uses the mmapGpio library:
#include "mmapGpio.h"
#include "stdio.h"
int main(void){
mmapGpio rpiGpio; // instantiate an instance of the mmapGpio class
rpiGpio.setPinDir(17,mmapGpio::OUTPUT); // set GPIO17 to output
while(1) {// toggle pin as fast as possible
rpiGpio.writePinHigh(17);
rpiGpio.writePinLow(17);
}
return 0;
}
So cross-compilation is done, but linker say cannot find -llibmapGpio!
I have made declaration in the properties project; C/C++ General
includes path : /home/octopuss/rpi/UserInclude (the mmapGpio.h file)
Library path : /home/octopuss/rpi/UserLib (the libmmapGpio.a file)
Libraries : libmmapGpio
Why do I receive this message?

"why this message ?"
It's because with your settings, the linker actually looks up for a library file named liblibmmapGpio.a.
"... so crosscompilation is done but linker say "cannot find -llibmapGpio" !
...
- Libraries : libmmapGpio"
You just need to specify the library without the lib prefix in the linker library settings:
mmapGpio
The Eclipse CDT Builder passes this as a -l option to the linker, which automatically extends to search for libmmapGpio.a at the specified additional pathes.
See also this Q&A for more illustrated samples and links:
Problems importing libraries to my c++ project, how to fix this?
I found the problem ... my .so lib wasn't ARM cross compiled so there is a X86 library not compatible whith my ARM Programm.
I solve this to set erm-linuxgnuabihf- prefix and his path to cross setting parameter.

I am trying to configure Eclipse such that it compiles a shared library in one project and uses it in another.
The problem is, that using the CUDA plugin for Eclipse one can only choose an executable generating project type.
So what I want to do is creating such a project and modify that toolchain such that Eclipse does not execute anything else than nvcc.
As you can see compiling the library is not a problem:
18:27:25 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project cudamath ****
make all
Building file: ../test.cu
Invoking: CUDA NVCC Compiler
nvcc --shared -Xcompiler -fPIC -o "cu_test.o" "../test.cu" && \
echo -n 'cu_test.d' ./ > 'cu_test.d' && \
nvcc -M "../test.cu" >> 'cu_test.d'
nvcc warning : The 'compute_10' and 'sm_10' architectures are deprecated, and may be removed in a future release.
nvcc warning : The 'compute_10' and 'sm_10' architectures are deprecated, and may be removed in a future release.
Finished building: ../test.cu
The problem is that Eclipse then calls g++ which is that step of the toolchain I want to cut off:
Building target: cudamath
Invoking: C++ Linker
g++ -L/opt/cuda/lib64 -o "cudamath" ./cu_test.o -lcuda -lcublas -lcudart

(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
makefile:32: recipe for target 'cudamath' failed
make: *** [cudamath] Error 1
Is there a way I can do this? I've been crawling through my project settings but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
Here's what I did using Nsight Eclipse Edition:
File... new CUDA C/C++ project
In the next dialog, select Shared Library...Empty Project, and give the project a name (let's say it is testlib)
Finish that wizard/dialog. A new testlib project is created in the project explorer on the left
In the project explorer on the left, right click on the project name and create a new folder for your source files
Open that folder and create your new source file. For this, I selected a CUDA C/C++ source file using the CUDA bitreverse "template". This creates a new source file with the bitreverse code in it.
change int main() { in your source file to int myfunc(){
save the source file and build the project. A new libtestlib.so is successfully built.
I am having troubles linking SDL2 to a C++ application inside of Eclipse CDT Kepler on Fedora 19 64bit. Here is what I did:
To install SDL2 I ran the line sudo yum install SDL2-devel.i686
Created a new .cpp file with copy paste code just to test the environment from here
Add the SDL2 library to the GCC C++ Linker: Project Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C++ Linker -> Libraries -> Libraries (-l) -> add: libSDL2.so
Then when I saved and built the program I got the fallowing error:
Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
g++ -o "SDL2 Test" ./src/SDL2\ Test.o -llibSDL2.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibSDL2.so
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [SDL2 Test] Error 1
So then I did a file system search for SDL2 and found that the libSDL2.so exists in /usr/lib/ and /lib/. Shouldn't either of those be the default location for searching for libraries? What am I missing?
(If it matters, within the .cpp file itself there are no errors, all SDL commands are recognized, it is just the linker)
I have found the answer. I am using a 64bit version of Fedora, and trying to use 32bit libraries. I assumed that because I was developing a 32bit application, that I should use 32bit libraries. But, it worked when I uninsulated the 32bit and installed the 64bit libraries.
Also, eclipse on Linux assumes that the 'lib' prefix and '.so' postfix exist, so you do not need them when you add them to the linker within eclipse (just SDL2).
I am have been attempting to get a C++ project setup using boost file system library using eclipse. I followed these directions to install boost on my system. The directions where pretty much
download
extract
run bootstrap.sh
run ./bjam architecture=combined
That seemed to go fine, no errors. I then fired up eclipse and created a new test project called test with a single file called test.cpp. The code in it is:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
int main() {
boost::filesystem::path path("/Users/schoen"); // random pathname
bool result = boost::filesystem::is_directory(path);
printf("Path is a directory : %d\n", result);
return 0;
}
This is just something simple to make sure it is all set up correctly. Of course I tried to compile at this point and it failed. Did some googling and found this site. It said to add the boost library to the linker by going to project properties and adding "boost_filesystem". I tried this, and well it didn't work.
Can someone point me in the right direction or give me a hint to how to set up Boost in an Eclipse project?
I am new to C++ and Eclipse, and most my experience is in Java with Netbeans. So I am pretty lost at the moment.
UPDATE
I just wanted to update on what I have tried based on the answers given.
Based on Alex's suggestion I added boost_system and boost_filesystem to the linker list. I was still getting the same compiler errors.
Following the suggestion from rve I added the path to the boost libraries to the Library search path. When this did not work. I cleared out the linker list and tried it with just the library search path. This also did not work.
I then cleared the Library search path. I then manually edited the command on the linker window to be 'g++ -L/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0/stage/lib -lboost -lboost_filesystem'. This also did not work.
In all of these I tried setting the path to boost to be '/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0' and '/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0/stage/lib'. Neither worked.
As requested the comiler error for the above code is:
**** Build of configuration Debug for project test ****
make all

g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD -MP -MF"src/test.d" -MT"src/test.d" -o"src/test.o" "../src/test.cpp"

../src/test.cpp:14: error: 'path' was not declared in this scope
make: *** [src/test.o] Error 1
If any one has any further suggestions I am still trying.
Second Update
On a suggestion by rholmes I added an include library along with the linker list and library search path. So now the compile error is:
**** Build of configuration Debug for project test ****
make all
Building target: test
Invoking: MacOS X C++ Linker
g++ -L/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0 -o "test" ./src/test.o -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test] Error 1
Any ideas?
Just wanted to be clear on what actually worked, since it was kinda pieced together from a few answers.
Download the boost files and extract them to where you want to put them.
In your terminal navigate to the directory and run ./bootstrap.sh
When that is done run ./bjam (this takes a while so go smoke and get a cup of coffee)
Open up your eclipse Project and go to Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings
Click on MacOS X C++ Linker > Libraries.
You should see a split window with the top being for 'Libraries (-l)'. In this section add both boost_system and boost_filesystem. In the bottom section it should be for 'Library Search Path (-L)'. Here you want to put the path to the stage/lib directory inside where you extracted the boost download. It should look similar to below:
Click GCC C++ Compiler > Includes. This will be a single pane where it says 'Include Paths (-I)', well I think it is an I as he font is weird and could be a lower case l also. Anyway in that section add the path to where you put boost without the stage/lib part. It should look like below:
Everything should compile now with out a problem, and if you need to use any other boost libraries it should be just a matter of adding it to the linker section where boost_filesystem and boost_system are. Enjoy.
Not sure where you do this in Eclipse these days, but under the include paths for Eclipse should be the path to the main boost directory (/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0?). The compiler line should have something like the following in it, I would think:
Invoking: GCC C++ Compiler
g++ -I/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0 -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD (etc..)
Update: Looking at my system, the linker path on yours might be more appropriately:
-I/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0/stage/lib
Depending, of course, upon how you've installed and built boost -- this is with my most recent attempt with a full source build. Depending upon how you obtained boost, this may or may not be different. I recently redid the boost on my Mac for 64 bit and haven't had much time to try it yet....
Add boost_system to the linker list, together with boost_filesystem.
I had recently uninstalled the boost rpm and installed Boost like how you did. I had no problems running Boost programs in Eclipse. I didn't add any extra parameters. Just installed boost and ran Boost programs. It works fine.
Tried your program in the vi editor. Commented out everything in main
#include <cstdio>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
int main() {
/*boost::filesystem::path path("/Users/schoen"); // random pathname
bool result = boost::filesystem::is_directory(path);
printf("Path is a directory : %d\n", result);*/
return 0;
}
and it still gave this error:
/tmp/cc7TAIYS.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
test.cpp:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I'm puzzled. Boost programs work on my system, but your program's header files itself are giving a problem. I doubt it's a problem with Eclipse. It has to be something else.
I just ran into something very similar to this using eclipse and CDT... It turns out, using ubuntu and apt-get, libboost_system installs as libboost_system.1.40.0 in /usr/lib
If you try to add it via the library tab in Helios it will complain because it is looking for *.so and *.s0.1.40.0 clearly doesn't match that. However after looking closely at what the linker was trying to doo, I just typed the raw string "boost_system" into the include path adder. This resulted in the linker doing a " -lboost_system" which is a format the linker knows how to deal with in resolving version dependency... If you instead put in the full path to the .so file, the linker will just complain because it tries to do a " -l/usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.40.0" .
So take my advice and just type in the simple " boost_system" after doing an apt-get install.. It will make it all very easy.
