[orbitcpp-list] Re: Compiling IDL with ORBitcpp

[Margarita de C. <ma...@gb...>]

    Hi, again

My problem is that I can compile an idl file, the error while compiling
:

orbit-idl -l c++
--backenddir=/usr/.../ORBit-cpp/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/lib/orbit-idl
file.idl

** WARNING **: Module load failed: ld.so.1: orbit-idl: fatal: relocation
error: file /usr/
.../ORBit-cpp/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/lib/orbit-idl/liborbit-idl-c++-backend.so:
symbol what__C13runtime_error: referenced symbol not found

** CRITICAL **: file orbit-idl-driver.c: line 50 (orbit_idl_to_backend):
assertion `binfo && binfo->op_output' failed.

** WARNING **: file.idl compilation failed

Here is the information you request me in order to be able of having me
the better response for my problem:

The only thing is the next warning:

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lstdc++.

*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in
when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
*** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
*** or is declared to -dlopen it.


> What compiler and linker are you using, and which versions?

c++: 2.95.2 (GNU CC)
ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris/ELF (3.0) (Solaris 2.7)

Thanks in advance

This is probably the cause. This library is needed, and the ORBit-C++ IDL
library won't link correctly without it.

If you have libstdc++ installed on your system somewhere, add that directory
to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, re-link the ORBit-C++ IDL library (cd compiler;
make clean; make; make install) and try again.

If you don't have it installed... I think it's part of the GNU C++ compiler
distribution.

Hi,
I did what you say, but the error is still there.  More suggestions?  I have no
idea of what to try?

Thanks

Do you have a *shared* libstdc++?

This seems to be a recurring problem. I think there must be a lot of
libstdc++ builds out there that have been built with --disable-shared. I
know the first time I tried to build libstdc++-2.90.8 I had to disable
shared to get it to build on RH6.2 binutils tools.

Is there a configure check to ensure libstdc++.so exists?

Well, I solved this problem on my solaris system in a different way. I
used STLPort (http://www.stlport.org) as the shared library instead of
libstdc++. Which means that it is possible to use orbitcpp without
libstdc++.so ;-)

I think I used dinkumware a while back with success. The problem was that I
couldn't link any GUI stuff because it caused GTK to crash on init.

From what I've seen the actual STL content of orbitcpp is pretty small -
the main requirement is a compiler that handles templates and implicit
construction OK.

If you're still getting messages about not having a shared libstdc++.so,
then you need to solve that problem first. You'll have to check the
documentation for that package to make sure you're building and installing
it correctly.
