berkeley DB: can't compile c++ codes

问题

When I compiled the sample codes of C++, I got following info:

c++ excxx_example_database_read.cpp -o dbApp -I /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/include/
Undefined symbols:

I have no idea what is the problem. Please help!

Update: Now I use :

getting_started baxxu$ c++ excxx_example_database_r
ead.cpp -o dbApp -I /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/include/ -L/usr/local/
BerkeleyDB.5.0/lib -ldb_cxx-5.0

still get error:

Undefined symbols:
  "MyDb::close()", referenced from:
      MyDb::~MyDb() in ccYCyhIg.o
  "MyDb::MyDb(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, bool)", referenced from:

回答1:

These are linker errors - they mean you haven't linked in one or more of the libraries you need to build this application.

The documentation for the library should explain how to build applications using it. In general, you need to add the library to the compiler command line:

c++ excxx_example_database_read.cpp -o dbApp -I /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/include/  -lsomething

would link in libsomething.a, found on the library search path. But to know which one to link, you must read the docs.

回答2:

You need to link to the BerkeleyDB c++ library.

c++ excxx_example_database_read.cpp -o dbApp -I /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/include/ -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.0/lib -ldb_cxx-5.0

(I'm assuming that's where you have the library installed and the version based on the include (-I) directive.)

EDIT: So, it appears you're trying to compile one of the examples included in the distribution (excxx_example_database_read.cpp) by hand ... it's more than a single .cpp file. The MyDB object is not part of the BerkeleyDB API but rather an example of how to subclass from it.

cd to where you have the BerkeleyDB source code, then cd build_unix . Once there, do make excxx_example_database_read
