undefined reference
« on: April 10, 2009, 10:38:45 am »
Hi
 my first CB project. I can't find which setting I forgot for that error below:
C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\C++\PC-12\main.cpp|118|undefined reference to `__imp__XPLMGetSystemPath'|
etc.
Thanks for letting me know which/where CB setting to add/change.
Regards Michael

You need to link some library under "Build Settings".

Thanks. Actually I was told VC to be incompatible to SDL therefore I move to CodeBlocks. Having the same IDE on all platforms is even an advantage...now I get some OpenGL linking issues.
"undefined reference to `_glGenTextures@8'|" etc.
Where are those located:
opengl32.lib
glu32.lib
odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib
or how shall I fix the above errors?
Thanks again and happy easter.
Michael

They're in MinGW's lib folder. However, you can provide the library's base name (opengl32, glu32, ...) for all system libraries. The linker will find them.

Thanks Thomas. Now I get:
" You must select a host application to run a library."
Where? In build targets I've set:

Type: DLL
Output filename: E:\X-Plane 9.00\Resources\plugins\PC12.dll
Execution working dir: E:\X-Plane 9.00
Objects output dir: obj\Debug\

anything false or missing?
Thanks again and regards
Michael

" You must select a host application to run a library."
The host application is the one that loads the DLL you are developing. In your case it's X-Plane. You can setup the host application in the "Project" menu under "Set programs arguments".

BTW: In the case of X-Plane it's best if you run X-Plane separately and not from within C::B. You cannot debug it easily anyways...

Thanks Morten. In VC I could debug, VC started x-plane. But here not. Even manually starting x-plane does not allow debugging. Am i doing something wrong, F7 ends immediately debug mode. How shall I debug, use CB?
Thanks again Michael

So CB is broken?
This is what I get:
...
The program is not being run.
Debugger finished with status 0

If debugging is not working the whole IDE is worthless.

No. I am developing an X-Plane plugin myself using C::B - I can tell you: It just works. :-)

Did you compile your DLL correctly - meaning: Does it include debugging information? Did you setup the host application correctly? It's best if you post thew build log (see my sig...).

The build log is OK. But I doubt you have the debug version of X-Plane, right? That's what I meant when saying "debugging X-Plane is not easy".
I do it by logging to a file - plain old skool debug. ;-)

You won't get a debug version of a commercial product. Sorry.
Just grab yourself a debugging framework based on files/streams and/or just pipe every debug output to a file... using usual C/C++ file handling.

No I am not. I told you several times that I can debug X-Plane plugins just fine.

If you don't understand what I am talking about I wonder if you know what debugging is and how a debugger works?! :shock:
Listen: To debug a framework/application you need a debug version of the target application. If you ask the guys that develop X-Plane for a debug version and they'll provide you with such all is fine. Alternatively ask at the X-Plane forum. If you receive a positive answer - let me know.
