Has anyone have the below linking issue?

[MadMichael888]

Hi,

I was able to compile my application cpp but when I tried to link, I have the below error:

/tmp/ccIM35WN.o: In function main': MyApp.cpp:(.text+0x47f): undefined reference toredox::Redox::connect(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits, std::allocator > const&, int, std::function<void (int)>)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks,
Mike

I have attached my code below, it's pretty simple. I also tried to remove the libredox.so from /usr/local/lib64/ and see if it was a lib issue, but when I do that I got this error (which proves that the linker is able to find the lib):

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lredox
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

#include
#include <redox.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace redox;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
Redox rdx;
if(!rdx.connect("localhost", 6379)) return 1;
cout << "Redis connected." << endl;

rdx.disconnect();
return 0;

}

Hi Michael, did you try providing the directory of libredox.so with -L?

[MadMichael888]

Yes. I did. I even tried to remove the .so and it gave me a different
error. So it appears to be able to find the lib.

Can you post your compile command? Did you compile w/ C++11?

I am actually hitting this issue currently while trying to build the Hello World example. Below is my compile command:

@mjohnson138 I met same problem with g++ 5. Have you come up any idea on this issue? Thanks in advance.

BTW, if I switch to g++ 4.9.2, there is no problem any more. Since I have to use std::put_time(), g++ 5 is necessary.

[mjohnson138]

@Yaoshicn Unfortunately I was not able to get past the issue. I chose to no longer use Redis for my software project.

No need to dump redox (or redis) over a linker error. This may be related to the change of default ABI by gcc, see here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html.
Some questions:

• Which os and version and gcc version are you using?
• Did you recompile redox, or use a prebuilt binary?
• Can you retry by specifying -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 ?

[mjohnson138]

Many apologies for the late response on this, but I was finally able to return to this library and solve the original issue. In CMake, the set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER, ...) option was being ignored (https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/-/wikis/FAQ#how-do-i-use-a-different-compiler) and so the redox library was being built with a pre-c++11 version of GCC while the project that was linking against redox was built using a new compiler. Good call on the dual_abi as that break was causing the issue. Ultimately, I set CC and CXX on the cmake line in the provided make.sh script.
