Thread: pgagent linker problem
When I try make pgagent binary (Solaris 10/SS11/wx2.8rc3), linker does
not recognize some symbols:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
wxRadioButtonNameStr connection.o
wxFileDialogNameStr connection.o
wxComboBoxNameStr connection.o
wxToolBarNameStr connection.o
<snip>
If I look into Makefile, there is
pgagent_LDADD = -L/opt/wxWidgegets-2.8.0/lib -mt -L/usr/openwin/lib
-lwx_baseud-2.8
However missing symbols are located in the wx_gtk2ud_core-2.8. If I
added this library into pgagent_LDADD, it works fine.
Do you have any idea why it does not work - why configure does not setup
correct LD?
thanks Zdenek

It does on other platforms/wx versions - I guess something changed in
wx2.8rc3 :-(
The easy fix is to add 'core' to the appropriate lines in acinclude.m4:
pgagent_LDADD=`${WX_CONFIG} ${WX_STATIC} --libs base,core --unicode=yes
--debug=yes --version=${WX_VERSION}`
I'll do so later.
Thanks, Dave

I downloaded everything from web, unpack and build from scratch. I don't
have rc1 on my machine. I will recheck it on Wednesday together with
Dhanaraj problems.
There is wx configure:
./configure --prefix=/opt/wxWidgegets-2.8.0 --with-gtk --enable-gtk2
--enable-unicode --enable-mimetype=no --enable-debug

I don't suppose you (or Josh, CC'd) have any contacts in Sun who could get me a copy of a working Solaris VMWare virtual machine? It would certainly help me to help you and Dhanaraj :-). I've repeatedly had my installations fail to boot when completed, for apparently different reasons each time :-( Regards, Dave.

You can test it with Linux version of SunStudio. Ok - is there a relatively easy way to test for the SunStudio compiler in configure, or shall I just add the lib for all compilers? Regards Dave

There are more issues related to SunStudio (hardcoded gcc flags ...). I
will discussed it with Dhanaraj and we will prepare patch to solve it.

OK, thanks - did you see my previous message about the correct fix to
include the core lib? Specifically, that you just add it to the
appropriate wx-config lines in acinclude.m4, eg:
pgagent_LDADD=`${WX_CONFIG} ${WX_STATIC} --libs base,core --unicode=yes
--debug=yes --version=${WX_VERSION} 2> /dev/null`
Regards, Dave.
