Linking shared library libdvbv5, undefined refrence










2















I am using the libdvbv5 library however I am having issues getting my program to compile.



I have the headers in /usr/local/include and there is libdvbv5.so in /usr/local/lib.



The code is extremely simple:



#include "libdvbv5/dvb-dev.h"

void doSatTest()
struct dvb_device *dvb;
struct dvb_dev_list *dvb_dev;

dvb = dvb_dev_alloc();



The eclipse indexer is satisfied that the function "dvb_dev_alloc" exists in the header file "dvb-dev.h" and the file compiles but fails on link



I have stopped using the eclipse builder so i can simplify the build command and pinpoint what is happening.



I try to compile and link using the following command:



g++ sat_test.cpp -ldvbv5


However it fails with:



sat_test.cpp:(.text+0x1f): undefined reference to `dvb_dev_alloc()'


What am I missing?

  • Yes the only message, the full message is: /tmp/cc3BD0pW.o: In function "doSatTest()": sat_test.cpp:(.text+0x1f): undefined reference to "dvb_dev_alloc()" collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The problem is that the the libdvbv5/dvb-dev.h does not provide a proper C++ prototype, and you are including it into a .cpp file.



The fix is to do this:



extern "C" 
#include "libdvbv5/dvb-dev.h"

... rest as before.


With above fix, your program will link fine.



A more detailed explanation here.
