Recently I have started a new project in C++. The problem is, when I try to compile it I get a linking error. I spent the whole day today trying to debug it, but I did not really find a good solution anywhere. If someone could help with it it would be amazing. I am using a Mac Sierra.
parsing/methylation.h
#ifndef EPIRL_METHYLATION_H
#define EPIRL_METHYLATION_H
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
namespace methylation {
struct MethLine {
string chr;
int coord;
char strand;
int methylated;
int un_methylated;
string context;
string tag;
};
string calculateMethylationByContext(
MethLine m_input[], int length,
int window_start, int window_end, int threshold);
void calculateMethylation(
const istream &methylation_stream,
const istream &coordinate_stream,
const ostream &output_stream
);
}
#endif //EPIRL_METHYLATION_H
parsing/methylation.cpp
#include "methylation.h"
namespace methylation {
string calculateMethylationByContext(
MethLine m_input[], int length,
int window_start, int window_end, int threshold) {
// rest of the code ...
}
}
main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "parsing/methylation.h"
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
if (argc != 4) {
cout << "Invalid number of arguments..." << endl;
return 1;
}
char *methylation_file = argv[1];
char *coordinate_file = argv[2];
char *output_file = argv[3];
ifstream methylation_file_stream(methylation_file, ios::binary);
ifstream coordinate_file_stream(coordinate_file, ios::binary);
ofstream output_file_stream(output_file, ios::binary);
methylation::calculateMethylation(methylation_file_stream,
coordinate_file_stream, output_file_stream);
methylation_file_stream.close();
coordinate_file_stream.close();
output_file_stream.close();
return 0;
}
I use CLion for my coding. When I try to build it, my cmake command works fine, but when I then click 'make' I get the following error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"methylation::calculateMethylation(std::__1::basic_istream<char, std::__1::char_traits<char> > const&, std::__1::basic_istream<char, std::__1::char_traits<char> > const&, std::__1::basic_ostream<char, std::__1::char_traits<char> > const&)", referenced from:
_main in main.cpp.o

make[3]: *** [src] Error 1
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/src.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/src.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [src] Error 2
my CMakeLists.txt file looks like the following:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(src)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
set(SOURCE_FILES
parsing/methylation.cpp
parsing/methylation.h
main.cpp)
add_executable(src ${SOURCE_FILES})
When I run the cmake command, my output is this:
