Message1. DevCpp Linker error for project using XRC from wxWindows2.4.2.contrib
#3177
Posted by: 2004-01-03 01:19:09
After a fresh installation of DevCpp v.4.9.8.5
I prepared a project - based on example wxWindows application from DevCpp package - that contains the following lines in OnInit function:

wxImage::AddHandler(new wxXPMHandler);
wxXmlResource::Get()->InitAllHandlers();

I added necessary headers
#include "wx/image.h"
#include "wx/xrc/xmlres.h"

and library -lwxxrc

And unfortunatelly got the following linker errors, they appears for all wxWindows.DevPaks version 2.4.0 and 2.4.2 that I could get.
Could you please explain how to fix it without recompiling wxWindows.

Errors ( ... dots means more errors for the file already mentioned)::

Hi,

I also have the same problem. However I have downloaded source code for wxWindows and compiled it. Samples deliverred w/contrib compile w/o errors and work with original makefile set. The same but in DevCpp fails with errors you have reported...

I made an experiment: got source files from my project and adopted makefile from wxWindows source - works fine. It means that the source seems to be OK. However I strongly need the solution for working with DevCpp IDE without any nonstandard tricks or workarrounds.

Unfortunately, I still (after many experiments) do not have any idea...

I don't really know what this is because I'm coding in VS6...

But the calenderctrl and htmlhelp seems advanced controls... Did you include this library?

Hello again,

I have  found a problem and a solution as well. Both are
completelly trivial. The solution is an order of libraries
given to the linker. Everybody would link project as
following:

g++ /* ... */ -lwxmsw -lwxxrc /* ... */
                ^^^^^   ^^^^^

Note the order of libraries. This linkage always fails.
Whatever you do. Now try to do it with alterred order:

g++ /* ... */ -lwxxrc -lwxmsw /* ... */
                ^^^^^   ^^^^^

However now it works :-)

To find a problem I started to try to understand how the
linker makes its job. Everybody assume that the linker collects
all requested symbols and then retrieves code from objects.

I am not a linker expert (considerring to become) but
it seems to work with a very subtle difference. The linker collects
all requested symbols from first object than second and so on.
It also retrieves the code from sequently given files. If it
sees that some symbol is missing then it looks for it in a following
objects but it is not going back to already processed files so won't
find the one which is existing in the previous file.

Then I made  an experiment: I stopped linking wxWindows like a library -
``-lwxmsw'' but like an object rather: ``../../../....../libwxmsw.a'' so
all code would be linked so all needed symbols would be available...
The result was surprising me... It linked code w/o errors.

Next step I've made was to change the order of given libraries and
surprised again. However now being able to build my project.

Thanks Roland for your hint, I knew it must be such simple but did not think about the order of linked libraries.
