static-linking

I've been struggling a weird problem the last few days. We create some libraries using GCC 4.8 which link some of their dependencies statically - eg. log4cplus or boost. For these libraries we have created Python bindings using boost-python. Every time such a library used TLS (like log4cplus does in it's static initialization or stdlibc++ does when throwing an exception - not only during initialization phase) the whole thing crashed in a segfault - and every time the address of the thread local variable has been 0. I tried everything like recompiling, ensuring -fPIC is used, ensuring -tls

Problem: I am having difficulties linking glibcc/glibc++ into a shared library using CMake and GCC4.9 on my Ubuntu 16.04 installation. Additional conditions: Loading the shared library gives a problem om the Red Hat production environment(where I copy it to), I believe because it uses a different libstc++ version(error: GLIBCXX_3_4_20 not found). I do not have sudo rights and cannot upgrade the machine. As I derived from this blog, this post , I tried linking static linking against libgcc and libgc++ using: set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -static") and againg using

I'm currently trying to link a static C library I've created to a fresh Xcode project. To link it, I followed the following instructions: 1) Navigate to Build Phases 2) Expand Link Binaries With Library 3) Added an "other" library, and then specified the .a file in question. Unfortunately, the project won't compile and throws the following error: ld: library not found for -ltxht I'm not sure exactly what to make of this. The library seems to appear okay in the project as a project file, and I can't find any indication that there is anything wrong with that. I've tried setting it's location to

I'm trying to use openCV243 static libs in 64bit vs10 console application. My OS is win7 64 bit. I've included following libs: #pragma comment(lib,"../final_test/libs/staticlib/opencv_core243.lib") #pragma comment(lib,"../final_test/libs/staticlib/opencv_highgui243.lib") #pragma comment(lib,"../final_test/libs/staticlib/opencv_imgproc243.lib") #pragma comment(lib,"../final_test/libs/staticlib/opencv_video243d.lib") #pragma comment(lib,"../final_test/libs/staticlib/opencv_flann243.lib") #pragma comment(lib,"../final_test/libs/staticlib/opencv_features2d243.lib") #pragma comment(lib,"../final

I am fairly familiar with Windows and Linux libraries compilation but as for today when I have seen MinGW on my Windows machine threw out dll.a and .a files after OpenCV compilation I have started to seriously start thinking. These are my \lib output from OpenCV compilation : 2012-12-21 23:35 1 338 420 libopencv_core243.dll.a 2012-12-21 23:33 224 994 libopencv_core_pch_dephelp.a 2012-12-21 23:38 830 820 libopencv_features2d243.dll.a And my \bin output : 2012-12-21 23:40 356 178 libopencv_perf_core.dll.a 2012-12-21 23:45 362 702 libopencv_perf_features2d.dll.a 2012-12-21 23:35 4 086 052

I'm attempting to link a static library in C++ using Visual Studio 2010. Trouble is, the library (and accompanying header ) have a lot of MFC objects in them. I would like to call one of the library's functions without recompiling my project to include MFC, or recompiling the library to not use MFC. This codeproject article seems to imply that this is possible if I define the function to be external in my project (using the "extern" keyword). However, I've had no luck. No matter what I try, I get an unresolved external symbol error. Is the article correct? And if not, is such linkage possible

I am working in Linux, Eclipse CDT, g++, with Boost library. Having existing program which uses Boost thread, I try to link it statically instead of dynamically. /usr/local/lib directory contains the following files: libbost_thread.a libbost_thread.so libbost_thread.1.41.0 Dynamic linking works: g++ -o"MyProgram" ./main.o -lboost_thread Static linking: g++ -static -o"MyProgram" ./main.o -lboost_thread produces huge number of messages like: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_init' How can I link statically to the Boost library? For pthread_mutex_init, you want to compile/link with -pthread
