switches in ubuntu to use math3d.h - opengl

i was doing an opengl program and it so happens i had to use some functions in the math3d.h header and i copied it to the local directory and included
inlcude "math3d.h"
but i get an error
transform.cpp:(.text+0x3da): undefined reference to `m3dRotationMatrix44(float*, float, float, float, float)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
where m3dRotationMatrix44 is a function in math3d
usually i used for glut the switch -lglut
SO for this what am i to do?
Thanks i advance

How did you install Math3D?
If you want to do all locally you will also need to copy the library file to your local directory and add it to your link command, ie -lmath3d if the file name is libmath3d.a
If you mean math3d from the OpenGL Super Bible you can try to add the math3d.cpp to your project/makefile
http://andrewtolbert.com/svn/personal/OpenGLSuperBible/shared/math3d.cpp

When gcc says "undefined reference" it means that you missed one or more libraries to link against. You need to find out what package math3d.h came from and link against the library inside that package.

How to solve mingw-w64 MSVCRT dependency issues

I'm building a golang project by using Go1.12 + msys2/mingw-w64(9.2.0), it shows errors:

After some research I'm sure it's a msvcrt compatibility issue of mingw64.
I know there are workarounds like this: unresolved external symbol __imp__fprintf and __imp____iob_func, SDL2
But it doesn't solve all of my issues.
I try to link the library: LDFLAGS: -L%filepath% -llegacy_stdio_definitions, nothing changes.
Is there a patch to fix it, or do I have to build my custom version of mingw64?
So I answer my question by myself, the case is closed.
Yes, Mingw64 uses msvcrt.
Here are some tips that could help to solve dependency problems between Mingw64 & msvcrt.
The major goal is to let compiler load the correct version of MSVCRT library family.
1.Update Mingw64.
2.Check out MSVCRT_VERSION in Mingw64\include_mingw.h(or x86_64-w64-mingw32\include), make sure the version number matches your windows version, or modify it.
3.Take a look at linker option like "#cgo LDFLAGS: -Lxxx", don't mess the library path. Remove any unnecessary library path setting, let linker finds libraries itself.
Make sure everything is built with same libraries.

RcppGSL Windows installation trouble

I'm trying to install RcppGSL as presented in
Linking GSL library to RcppGSL on Windows machine
after copping the library as presented in the link above to C:/local323
and moving all the files in x64 up one directory into into LIB_GSL/lib as presented in the link. I used the following code.
library(Rcpp)
Sys.setenv("LIB_GSL" = "C:/local323") # this is where the library is located
Sys.setenv("PKG_LIBS"="-L(LIB_GSL)/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas")
install.packages("RcppGSL")
I added the line
Sys.setenv("PKG_LIBS"="-L(LIB_GSL)/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas")
after getting the following error(and I still got the same error) after doing some research and thought there might be a linking problem(just guessing).
The error I received was
RcppExports.o:RcppExports.cpp:(.text+0x916): undefined reference to `gsl_matrix_alloc'
RcppExports.o:RcppExports.cpp:(.text+0x945): undefined reference to `gsl_matrix_set'

any help is greatly appreciated!
Very best,

I would try this on the command-line, ie in cmd.exe -- not from R.
That way you should see the compilation and linking steps which may help when something go south.
"It builds at CRAN ..." so with the right files in the right location, and the proper env var set it should for you too.
Well I do not know why the following worked but I'm able to use RcppGSL
I followed the procedure from the link I posted exactly. Then instead of using
install.packages("RcppGSL")
I downloaded the zip file from CRAN and installed the package via the R GUI with the option to install from a zip. These should be identical I know, but using install.packages("RcppGSL").
Also
Sys.setenv("LIB_GSL" = "C:/local323")
is required anytime I try to compile an Rcpp file that uses the library.
I'm not sure why, but I can use the library at least.
Dirk thank you for your help. I will go over the tutorial on R-extensions to see if I can figure out what is going on.

Unable to link CCfits example program

This is probably related to
c++ reading fits file using ccfits
which was never answered.
Anyway, I hope my question is easier to reproduce. There is an example program for CCfits at:
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/CCfits/html/cookbook.html
I am attempting to compile this using:
g++ cookbook.cpp -o cookbook -lCCfits -lcfitsio
The link fails for every CCfits function in the file:
/tmp/cc7hVaju.o: In function main':
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0x14): undefined reference towriteImage()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to writeAscii()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference towriteBinary()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0x6b): undefined reference to copyHDU()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0x88): undefined reference toreadHeader()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0xa5): undefined reference to readImage()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0xc2): undefined reference toreadTable()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0xdf): undefined reference to readExtendedSyntax()'
cookbook.cpp:(.text+0xfc): undefined reference toselectRows()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I have tried this with the CCfits package that comes with Ubuntu. I have also tried installing the package myself. Same error.
Strangely, I get similar messages if I do not include the libraries on the command line (i.e., "g++ cookbook.cpp -o cookbook"). The one difference is that I also get this error:
/tmp/ccMVMkSB.o: In function CCfits::FITS::setVerboseMode(bool)':
cookbook.cpp:(.text._ZN6CCfits4FITS14setVerboseModeEb[_ZN6CCfits4FITS14setVerboseModeEb]+0xf): undefined reference toCCfits::FITS::s_verboseMode'
This must be a clue, right? Seems to say that the libraries I have named, although they exist, do not contain all the functions I need.
Thanks for any help,
Charles
Not sure if you got a suitable answer to this question but as far as I can tell the main issue is that you are not including the definitions to the function signatures. These are usually defined in the header files of c++ libraries.
For example, if your library is installed in "/usr/local" on a UNIX system then the header files will be installed in the location "/usr/local/include/CCfits". The corresponding lib files will be installed at "/usr/local/lib". The important thing is that the compiler does not know this and you need to inform it of these locations.
g++ cookbook.cpp -o cookbook -I /usr/local/include/CCfits -L /usr/local/lib -lCCfits -lcfitsio
The "-I /usr/local/include/CCfits" flag and the given parameter inform g++ of the location of the header files that it is looking for. The "-L /usr/local/lib" flag and the given parameter inform g++ of the location of the library files. It is important to note that g++ will search in the standard location for libraries on in your environment as well this is just giving it more locations to search. There are in fact rules for what it should do if it finds multiple libraries which are the same in different locations but I don't explicitly remember those.
Also to be safe, ensure that the libraries are loaded into memory by the OS. These are shared libraries not static so they are not stored into the executable file. This won't make a difference when compiling the source but will prevent the successful execution of the executable. To ensure that the OS has loaded the library into memory run the following command:
sudo ldconfig

Undefined reference to 'inflateInit2_'

I'm using Code Blocks IDE and I want to install Tiled Map Editor for SFML. So, I downloaded the source and imported it to my project. Unfortunately, the build finished with an error due to missing zlib library. I downloaded it and built again. This time I received an error that reads:
undefined reference to `inflateInit2_'|
undefined reference to `inflateEnd'|
undefined reference to `inflateEnd'|
On the Internet I found the advice to join the linker command -lz, but the compiler refuses throwing the error: cannot find -lz. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Use the option -L<path> to tell the linker where to find libz.so.x.y.z.
For your reference: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Directory-Options.html
you can see where your zlib is installed like this :
/sbin/ldconfig -p| grep libz.so
it should find one or more entries if installed, otherwise it will return blank line

Libusb undefined reference to

I'm trying to set up libusb API on my OS. I downloaded libusb api on libusb.org. I followed the standard installation procedure:
cd into directory
./configure
make
make check //without errors
make install
Then I launched Eclipse C/C++ and copied some code from the tutorial found on the internet. But when trying to build it I got following output:
main.cpp:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `libusb_init'
main.cpp:(.text+0x76): undefined reference to `libusb_set_debug'
main.cpp:(.text+0x8a): undefined reference to `libusb_get_device_list'
main.cpp:(.text+0x136): undefined reference to `libusb_free_device_list'

main.cpp:(.text+0x4d4): undefined reference to `libusb_free_config_descriptor'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I have libusb.so in /lib and also I have usb.h in /usr/local/include and the link for the .so and libusb.a in /usr/local/lib.
Also the #include inside the code is correct.
I know that problem is in linker but I, kind of, cannot make it work :)
I'm using Fedora 15 operating system and gcc 4.6.0 20110603 (Red Hat 4.6.0-10) version compiler.
So what could I do to resolve these undefined references? Thanks very much for help :)
I did face the same problem. But I was able to solve it by adding '-lusb-1.0' to the linker.
e.g : g++ myfile.cpp -lusb-1.0
you have to set the library linker flag for compilation in the linker,
you can get a full list in the console by executing
pkg-config --list-all
These are the libraries which you have installed on your system and you have to link against the ones you want to use.
so in your example it is libusb so you do
pkg-config --libs libusb
there should be the output
-lusb
or
-lusb-1.0
This gives you the flag you have to pass to the linker. e.g.
g++ myfile.cpp -lusb[-1.0]
Then you edit the configuration of the project and search for the linkerflags, there should be a textfield for that somewhere in the buildoptions. i'm not quite shure where to find it but googling for it suggested:
Project -> Properties -> C/C++
Build -> Miscellaneous -> flags
After you found it, just add the linker flag in the textfield and you should be fine.
EDIT
since my answer is the accepted one, I also added the other flag that seems to work for a lot of people.
What is your linker command line? You need to have -lusb in the linking command; just having the header included won't work.
I don't use Eclipse C/C++ but I am pretty sure the reason is the same that I faced some while ago when setting up a C project in Netbeans.
It's not enough to have the #include in your code and the library at the right location - you also have to tell Eclipse where to look for them and how to use them. This turorial shows you how to set it up in Eclipse.
