linker problem

hello every one.

i am using cmake to compile a program.

the cmake generates a make file which look like this

Code:

usr/bin/ld -L/usr/lib/condor -Bstatic --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 -export-dynamic 
-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o
 /nfs/mid/homes/sah006/condor_app/vtkCISG/Output/bin/vtkSegProp

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../crtn.o

some how it gets stuck on the line where i try to link the first shared library.

it gives me the error that vtkPatented not found.

i have checked the path of the directories included and they are correct. some how ld is not able to include the directories and thats why it is not able to search for them.

can any one help.

Try to assign the library explicitly by typing the full path and entire file name.

hey that is the solution i eventually reached myself too.

condor_compile is nothing but a shell script which inserts some libraries for linking to the executables.

so instead of using condor_compile i can manually edit the command and insert the libraries into it.

the only problem is that the make file is generated by cmake and there are hundreds of makefiles like that which i have to edit.

IMHO it is a disadvantage of cmake. Do not you intend to inform maintaners?

bahadur · 11-26-2005, 06:43 AM

the problem is with condor_compile script and yet i am going to inform them of this problem.

because the moment i remove the condor_compile keyword it works fine.

there is no problem with cmake.

it is condor_compile's problem
