Undefined reference event with -lmylib and -LmyPath explicitely in my command.
I am trying to compile a test program using genicam API. This API provides shared libraries for linux with all the needed definitions. My command is as follows:
g++ -L/lib -lrt -ldl -Wl,-E -pthread -o mytest <some .o files>
-lFirmwareUpdate_gcc49_v3_1_IDS -llog4cpp_gcc49_v3_1_IDS
-lGCBase_gcc49_v3_1_IDS -lLog_gcc49_v3_1_IDS -lMathParser_gcc49_v3_1_IDS
-lNodeMapData_gcc49_v3_1_IDS -lXmlParser_gcc49_v3_1_IDS
-lGenApi_gcc49_v3_1_IDS
The program compiles but all the references to definitions supposed to be in the .so files are undefined, according to the linker, for example:
/usr/bin/ld: <my.o>: in function <myObject>::setTriggerMode(char const*):
my.cpp:271: undefined reference to GenICam_3_1::gcstring::gcstring(char const*)'
I tried to have a look inside of the libs and, to keep the same example:
nm -D /lib/libGCBase_gcc49_v3_1_IDS.so | grep -i gcstring
000000000000c400 T _ZN15GenICam_3_1_IDS8gcstringC1Emc
This line is not the only output line but it really seems that gcstring is fully defined in there...
So, I tried to know if ld was making fun of me or not and run my compilation command again with strace (-f). ld is really opening the good .so files and finds it!
Thank you for your help, I have no clue what happens.
