Why can't the linker find the CppUnit libraries? - c++

I am trying to learn the CPPUNIT i looked at the following link:
CPPUNIT
although the selected language here is c i have selected c++ while creating this application and have added the
C:\cppunit\cppunit-1.12.1\include to the include directories i have also added cppunitd,cppunit in the linker options however i still the errors as while i try to test the cppunit.
Errors:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find
-lcppunitd
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lcppunit
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lcppunit
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [build/Debug/MinGW_1-Windows/tests/TestFiles/f1] Error 1
make: *** [.build-tests-impl] Error 2
BUILD TESTS FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 4s)

Need to use the -L flag and have a path to the library.

I experienced the same linker error and found that I only had 64-bit version of CppUnit installed while building 32-bit application. I solved it by installing 32-bit version of the library.

Vulkan SDK Version 1.1.85.0 linking on Kubuntu 18.10

I'm currently working on a game engine with vulkan.
I just wanted to try whether it compiles on linux, but I don't know how to link my Vulkan SDK libraries. I downloaded the "vulkansdk-linux-x86_64-1.1.85.0.tar.gz" from the LunarG homepage, but now I dont know what I should link under "target_link_libraries".
I tried to link the "libvulkan.so" from the lib folder, but it does not work.
Some help from you would be great, because I never worked with CMAKE on linux.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvulkan
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/Untitled.dir/build.make:669: ../output_linux /Untitled] Error 1
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:73: CMakeFiles/Untitled.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:85: CMakeFiles/Untitled.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:118: Untitled] Error 2
Thanks for help,
Marlon
The SDK's Linux Getting Started Guide found in your SDK tarball and at this link explains much of this. In fact, there's even a section called "Using Vulkan in CMake Projects" that shows how to use the FindVulkan CMake module. The SDK also contains numerous example programs, also built with CMake.

Issue with CMake project building

I have the following problem. On my Ubuntu I try to build a project and receive the following linker error(s) so far:
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_thread.a(once.o): undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_once##GLIBC_2.2.5'
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO
missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [sunprint] Error 1 make[1]: ***
[CMakeFiles/sunprint.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2
*** Failure: Exit code 2 ***
I'm running under ubuntu 13 desktop, GCC 4.8, boost ver. is 1.54. As an IDE I'm working with
is the KDevelop.
I can provide any additional info about this issue if needed, but now I'm stuck with
this linking problem.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.
add_definitions only adds inputs for the preprocessor, which is in action even before the compiler starts its business and even much farther away from linking the executable, the step ld is supposed to be doing.
What you want to have ld resolve link-time dependencies is the CMake command target_link_libraries, which, for a given target, add a number of libs to link against after compilation.
In you case, the appropriate invocation could look like this
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} [...] -lpthread [...]) #obviously without the '[...]' and the correct target name
I had a similar problem but with mpich. Both:
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} [...] -lmpich [...])
and
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} [...] mpich [...])
worked properly.

Building Boost with ICU using MinGW

I downloaded the last ICU release (49) binaries and add the following arg to b2:
-sICU_PATH="D:\lib64\icu"
I got
gcc.link D:\boost\1.51.0\boost\boost\bin.v2\libs\locale\build\gcc-mingw-4.7.1\debug\has_icu64.exe
d:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.7.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -licui18n
d:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.7.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -licudata
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
There were not such libicui18n, libicudata among icu binaries.
So I tried to build it myself. I got this error
PATH=../../lib:../../stubdata:../../tools/ctestfw:$PATH ../../bin/genrb -e UTF-8 -s resources -d uconvmsg root.txt
Makefile:173: recipe for target `uconvmsg/root.res' failed
make[2]: *** [uconvmsg/root.res] Error 127
Could somebody suggest me how I should build Boost with ICU using MinGW?
1.) the libraries in the package you downloaded are named icuin49.dll, icudt49.dll. We build regularly with mingw (and many other platforms) to test, but don't post those binaries.
2.) uconv is just an extra. You can disable it with --disable-extras on the configure line. (not enough info there to tell me why it failed.)

C++/Eclipse Shared Library: Why can g++ not find this library?

I am following the instructions on
http://tayefeh.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/creating-and-using-a-c-shared-library-with-eclipse-cdt-galileo-and-gnu-c-compiler-and-linker/
to build a shared library.
I have got to Step II, bullet point 16 but my attempts to build the project fail with the following error:
**** Build of configuration Debug for project UseDLL ****
make all
Building target: UseDLL
Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
g++ -L"/home/ken/workspace/testlib/Debug" -o"UseDLL" ./src/UseDLL.o -ltestlib -l/home/ken/workspace/testlib/Debug
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l/home/ken/workspace/testlib/Debug
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [UseDLL] Error 1
Can anyone advise why the build is failing? The directory does exist and ls shows
[ken#localhost Debug]$ ls /home/ken/workspace/testlib/Debug/
libtestlib.so TestClass.o
If it helps, I am running CentOS 6.3.
Thanks,
Ken
You should remove this:
-l/home/ken/workspace/testlib/Debug
It makes g++ look for a library of that name.

Project Compilation Error - cannot find -lwxmsw28

While compiling a project i get the following error as
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find lwxmsw28
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [dist/Debug/MinGW-Windows/libRegistration.dll] Error 1
make[1]: *** [.build-conf] Error 2
make: *** [.build-impl] Error 2
I am using wxwidgets libraries however when i ran a command in cmd as
wx-config --libs
i could not see lwxmsw28 either let me know if it is downloadable from somewhere or any workaround to resolve this issue.
Thanks
This is a linker error, rather than a compilation error.
"lwxmsw28" looks to me like a wxwidgets v2.8 microsoft windows library. Should the linker be looking for this? Since you are using mingw, I would think you should NOT be linking to msw libraries. However, I am not familiar with mingw, so maybe this is the name used for mingw libraries.
If this is the correct library, then the next question is: have you built the wxWidgets libraries? The libraries are NOT "downloadable from somewhere" - you must download the source and build the libraries yourself.
A simple test to find out if you have built the libraries - try to build one of the sample projects.
