Undefined reference Poco::* when compiling OF from Git on QtCreator 4.1.0

hamoid · September 21, 2016, 10:49am

Hi,

I decided to try again update QtCreator to 4.1 and OF from GitHub, without much luck. I have tried both the master branch and 0.9.4 branch, but I always get the same error when compiling even an empty project:

clang-3.8: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Process failed with exit code 1.

I did run install_dependencies.sh, compileOF.sh, git submodule update --init --recursive, ./apothecary update core poco addons, ./install_template.sh, I pulled the latest apothecary changes, I deleted my build project folders, used clean all and rebuild, created new blank projects…

I see 11 .a files inside libs/poco/lib/linux64/ and lots of .h files inside libs/poco/include/Poco/.

Nothing I tried so far made it work. What can I try next?

arturo · September 21, 2016, 11:35am

that error happens because the libraries included in the repository are compiled with gcc4 not 5 install_dependencies should compile them but it’s leaving them in the wrong folder. you can download the last libraries for every platform (including gcc5 linux) here: http://ci.openframeworks.cc/libs just uncompress the .a in the libs/poco/lib/linux64 folder

hamoid · September 21, 2016, 11:56am

Thank you! Copying them from scripts/ to libs/ was enough

newbie · November 28, 2016, 5:02pm

I have the following errors when i try to compile the example for ofxXmlSettings with some modifications. Have I to do the same thing that hamoid as well, and in that case, where i have to copy the libraries, which folder. Please help!!!

For anyone who encounters this in the future,
I had issues with poco and fixed by following this: https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/6041

The essential steps are to go into ofxPoco/addon_config.mk file and comment out ADDON_INCLUDES line, then remove or rename the /libs folder in ofxPoco as well

make clean then make worked for me after that
