I have this code:
#include <iostream>
#include <mp4.h>
int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) {
// insert code here...
std::cout << "Hello, World!\n";
MP4Read("filename", MP4_DETAILS_ALL );
return 0;
}
And i've added -I/opt/local/include and -L/opt/local/lib to the path (where the mp4 library resides after installing it through macports), but all i get is:
Undefined symbols: "_MP4Read",
referenced from:
_main in main.o ld: symbol(s) not found
Even though XCode finds it and autocompletes properly...
You need to link the library most likely, i.e. add -lmp4 or similar to your linking commands.
You have only specified the paths. You need to link in the mp4 library. Something like the following:
g++ -I /.../ -L /.../ -lmp4 -o out main.cpp
The -L flags tell the compiler where to look, the -l flag tells it what to look for.

I am trying dynamic-linking test.
mylib.cpp
#include<iostream>
#include<stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int hello(){
cout<<"Hello,World!"<<endl;
return 1;
}
then compile
g++ -shared -o libmylib.so mylib.cpp
Now there appears the libmylib.so
test.cpp
#include <iostream>
int hello();
int main() {
hello();
std::cout << "Test Finish!\n";
return 0;
}
Try to compile with this,
g++ -o test test.cpp -L ./
There comes the error
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"hello()", referenced from:
_main in test-37bd2a.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Do I need to add some options or are there something wrong in my source code??
Thank you for your help.
Do I need to add some options
yes, link with the library.
g++ ... -lmylib
I am trying to run the basic "Hello, World!" example:
#include <boost/mpi/environment.hpp>
#include <boost/mpi/communicator.hpp>
#include <iostream>
namespace mpi = boost::mpi;
int main()
{
mpi::environment env;
mpi::communicator world;
std::cout << "I am process " << world.rank() << " of " << world.size()
<< "." << std::endl;
return 0;
}
I have tried numerous variants for running this program:
mpic++ -I /usr/local/include/ test.cpp -o test -lboost_system
also:
mpic++ -I /usr/local/include/boost test.cpp -o test -lboost_system
and using mpicc, and clang++ as a substitute. Each combination gives the follow error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"boost::mpi::environment::environment(bool)", referenced from:
_main in test-b0215f.o
"boost::mpi::environment::~environment()", referenced from:
_main in test-b0215f.o
"boost::mpi::communicator::communicator()", referenced from:
_main in test-b0215f.o
"boost::mpi::communicator::rank() const", referenced from:
_main in test-b0215f.o
"boost::mpi::communicator::size() const", referenced from:
_main in test-b0215f.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Homebrew says that both MPICH2 and boost1.63.0 are installed. I can confirm that mpic++ runs by compiling and then running this program:
// required MPI include file
#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int numtasks, rank, len, rc;
char hostname[MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME];
// initialize MPI
MPI_Init(&argc,&argv);
// get number of tasks
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&numtasks);
// get my rank
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&rank);
// this one is obvious
MPI_Get_processor_name(hostname, &len);
printf ("Number of tasks= %d My rank= %d Running on %s\n", numtasks,rank,hostname);
// do some work with message passing
// done with MPI
MPI_Finalize();
}
Which produces the correct output.
I have also verified that (at least part of) Boost is installed by compiling and successfully running the Boost "Hello, World!"

How can I get the Boost.MPI example to run?
When you get linker errors from boost, you usually forgot to link against a boost library.
There is also a boost_mpi library, so you should compile with
clang++ -I /usr/local/include/ timer.cpp -o timer -lboost_system -lboost_mpi
Note that you need a boost version with support for mpi.
Generally consider http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html
Specifically with homebrew you can check How to build boost with mpi support on homebrew?
I'm trying to use the boost/filesystem library in some code that I am writing. I seem to be having a hard time getting it to compile. I'm running Debian Wheezy, and have boost version 1.49(which is what comes if you install using apt-get). I'm trying to compile an example that is available with the documentation
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
using namespace boost::filesystem;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (argc < 2)
{
std::cout << "Usage: tut1 path\n";
return 1;
}
std::cout << argv[1] << " " << file_size(argv[1]) << '\n';
return 0;
}
I use the following command:
g++ temp.cc -o temp /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.a
I get a number of errors such as:
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.a(operations.o): In function `boost::filesystem3::detail::dir_itr_close(void*&, void*&)':
(.text+0x4d): undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category()'
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.a(operations.o): In function `boost::filesystem3::detail::directory_iterator_increment(boost::filesystem3::directory_iterator&, boost::system::error_code*)':
(.text+0xe3): undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category()'
This is probably some linking error right? Any ideas on how I could solve it?
UPDATE #1:
I tried running it with the -lboost_filesyste and -L /usr/lib. It gives me the following error:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
You are not linking the library properly. Also, as others mentioned, boost_filesystem needs also boost_system library. Use:
g++ temp.cc -o temp -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem
Command line param -l foo links libfoo.a library. If the static library is not in default library location, use command -L /custom/library/dir. But I believe /usr/lib is automatically taken into consideration by GCC.
Edit
According to your comment below it looks like you are not compiling the file with main() function, or you have a typo in main() name. Make sure that temp.cc contains one and only one of these functions:
int main();
int main(int argc, char** argv);
Of course you do remember that upper/lower case matters. :)
Boost.Filesystem uses things in Boost.System. You have to link against that, too.
The error messages that you are seeing:
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.a(operations.o): In function
`boost::filesystem3::detail::dir_itr_close(void*&, void*&)':
(.text+0x4d): undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category()'
that's a reference to Boost.System
Add -lboost_system and you should be good to go (or, at least better off).
Compile with -lboost_filesystem
I installed polarssl:
make
sudo make install
tried to compile very simple file, named test.c:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "polarssl/md5.h"
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int i;
for (i=1;i<1;i++)
{
char res[16];
if (md5_file("file.txt",res) == 0)
{
int count;
for (count=0;count<16;count++)
printf("%02x",res[count]);
printf("n");
}
}
return 0;
}
Compiled it like this:
gcc -lpolarssl test.c -I /usr/local/include/polarssl/
but it shows me:
/tmp/cczptlsk.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x36): undefined reference to `md5_file'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
whats the problem, how to fix it? I know for 100% that polarssl files are in /usr/local/include/polarssl/
The compiler will attempt to complete linkage in the order the objects or files are presented. In this case, since you had put -lpolarssl first, there were no unresolved symbols needed from that library, so nothing got linked in.
Putting -lpolarssl last lets the compiler resolve unresolved symbols from your source file from that library.
Includes are fine.
But linking is wrong. Try to put the -lpolarssl last in the linker command.
Then add a -L if libpolarssl.a is not found by the linker to point it to the right location.
I created a simple class 'Hello' in C++ using header(.h) and definition(.cpp) files. This is the header file content:
#ifndef HELLO_H
#define HELLO_H
#include <string>
namespace test
{
class Hello
{
private:
std::string name;
public:
Hello();
void say_hello();
};
}
#endif
And the definition file content is just as you expected:
#include "Hello.h"
#include <iostream.h>
using namespace test;
Hello::Hello()
{
this->name = "Yoppy Yunhasnawa";
}
void Hello::say_hello()
{
string message = "Hello, " + this->name + ".. Have nice day!";
cout << message << "\n";
}
I included this class to a main.cpp file and use it like this:
#include "Hello.h"
using namespace test;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Hello* hello = new Hello;
hello->say_hello();
}
When I compiled the main.cpp file with g++ like this,
g++ main.cpp
I got following annoying error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"test::Hello::say_hello()", referenced from:
_main in ccsaoOZa.o
"test::Hello::Hello()", referenced from:
_main in ccsaoOZa.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
However, that error does not appear when I don't call both constructor and say_hello method:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Hello* hello;// = new Hello;
//hello->say_hello();
}
I use macport GCC 4.7 and I am very sure that my method is there but why this symbol(s) not found error keep appearing? Please show me my mistake. Thank you.
When you invoke g++ main.cpp, compiler performs both compiling AND linking. But the code cannot be linked without Hello.cpp file. So, you have two options: either compile and link separately:
g++ -c main.cpp
g++ -c hello.cpp
gcc main.o hello.o
or compile and link everything at the same time:
g++ main.cpp hello.cpp
