There are linker errors in referencing Namspace::XMLString though the libxerces-c_static_2D.a is added in linker settings and I tried to do go to declaration on XMLString by selecting the option of RMB menu, it throws a prompt saying undefined but the build successful in visual studio. So in codeblocks I am seeing linker error as "undefined reference to `_imp___ZN11xercesc_2_89XMLString7releaseEPPc'|" though the header file XMLString.hpp is added.

Can you help me on how to resolve these linker errors.

Hi Tim,

I have followed instructions and added the required includes and .a/.obj files at Linker settings.

I am still seeing the same undefined errors at line:

XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE::XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();

Is it due to gcc incompatibility with xerces scope resolution? It works perfectly in visual studio.

Thanks,
Pradeep

Without more information I can NOT say what is the cause of the problem; but, user error is a good guess.

Do you know how to use Libraries?
Do you know you CAN NOT mix c++ libraries from different compilers and in some cases from different compiler versions?

Post a full build log as stated in the CB FAQs.

Wild guess is you forgot to define a macro that says you are planning on linking to a static or DLL library.

Read the library documentation to see if this guess is true.

From http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xerces/c/trunk/doc/build.xml?view=markup
Code
<note>If you are linking your application to the static
316                   &XercesCName; library,
317                   then you will need to compile your application with the
318                   XERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY preprocessor macro defined in order
319                   to turn off the DLL import/export mechanism.</note>

Please read the fine manual next time!

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your response,

I have added the macro XERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY in Compiler settings -> #defines, but still I am seeing the undefined reference to errors.

Hi Tim,

I have built the xerces library with g++ compiler and got static lib and dll libxerces-c_static_2D.a and xerces-c_static_2D.dll which I am using in my application.


here is the build log:

for the first project:
mingw32-g++.exe -g -W -O0 -DWIN32 -D_DEBUG -D_LIB  -c XXX.cpp -o ..\..\obj\w2k\dbg\src\w2k\XXX.o this continues for all the files

for the second project:
mingw32-g++.exe -W -O0 -DXERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY -D_DEBUG -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DIL_STD -DOSLMSDLL -DINTEL -IC:\Libraries\xerces-c_2_8_0\include -I

Pradeep

Post the full build log or I will just ignore you!!!

You DID NOT even post the linking command!!!

Hi Tim,

Hope you are doing good,

I have removed all the warnings, undefined reference to errors from the build log and kept the build commands:

Code
mingw32-c++.exe -L..\..\..\\lib\w2k\dbg -L\lib -Lxerces-c_2_8_0\lib -Lxerces-c_2_8_0\bin -o 

Did you try linking to the library; because what you posted shows that you did NOT do that?

I have decided you must be a troll; because you refuse to post the information needed to help you!

Edit2: You need to decide are you using a Shared(DLL) or static Library; and you need to tell me which you are trying to do!!

Edit: In order to help you I need to know if you defined XERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY or NOT!!!
I need to know after defining or removing the define of  XERCES_STATIC_LIBRARY; that you rebuilt the project.

I need to see the link command with at least one error included!!

I give up on helping you build a 9 year old version of the library because you are likely doing something wrong; but, figuring out what you did wrong will likely violate the rules of this site. http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,9996.0.html

Since, you seem to NOT want to be helped; you never post what I ask for; and it is appearing to be playing 20 questions!
I never like the game; I can NOT help thinking you seemed to be a troll. Esp. after I found out you are trying 9 year old code!!

FYI: If you are NOT a troll you should NOT expect 9 year old code to compile and link with a version of GCC much newer than it!
