Summary

0005223: Undefined xerces symbols encountered when trying to compile test program

Description

I was trying to build a project against xerces_c today. However, the configure test for xerces was failing (see below). I was on kiel, so I have updated to the current stable release and tried the build again. However, the current stable release also has the same linker problems:

g++ -o conftest -Wall -O2 -DNDEBUG -D_REENTRANT -pthreads -L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib conftest.cpp -lxerces-c -lsocket -lm

Undefined first referenced

Additional Information

I built xerces_c from the current source 3.1.1 against the opencsw directory (with all the xerces packages removed), and I do not get the linker error when running the test program.

Notes
(0010988) soladmin (reporter) 2014-12-09 20:52	I was thinking about this more. I tried to use the CSW gcc/g++ compiler to build against this library. However, I bet that xerces was compiled with the SUNWspro compiler, so this may indicate why I am getting errors trying to link against the xerces library when building with the GNU compiler. So, this may not be a bug at all... Sorry

(0010990) dam (administrator) 2014-12-10 14:07	This is indeed an issue of C++ symbol mangling difference between Sun Studio and GCC. We plan with the upcoming Bratislava release to switch completely to GCC: http://wiki.opencsw.org/release-bratislava [^] However, it may take some time until this is finished.
