[SOLVED]Linker Error when linking: undefined reference to `typeinfo for OIS:
« on: April 28, 2009, 10:54:14 AM »
I am building OIS and my project both in CodeBlocks.  I am telling the OIS project to save the library it makes into my binaries directory and then asking my project to link against it there.  I downloaded the source code and built it in Codeblocks on linux. How ever I see the following error when I try to link my project to OIS:

Code: [Select]
../Builds/Linux/Release/libOIS.so: undefined reference to `vtable for OIS::Exception'
../Builds/Linux/Release/ibOIS.so: undefined reference to `typeinfo for OIS::Exception'
Not sure what to do about that really.

I just modified the codeblocks project that comes with OIS a little so that it would dump the library into the directory ../Builds/Linux/Release.  I didn't mo

Any suggestions?

Thanks for reading.

The Code::Blocks project is missing the OISException.cpp file. You just need to add it. Patches appreciated.

Awesome!  That fixed it.  Actually, the answer is pretty obvious now that I think about it.  As for a patch............. you want me to send the updated codeblocks project?

Yeah, updated C::B files would suffice.

Since nobody did anything even after all that time I went ahead: http://pastebin.com/m64dfea1b
Also, please do another stable release as the last one is quite old.
Another bold request: Please do not use CVS, I find it is a pain to use and it's quite dated on top of that.

A Patch would be better, but I'll see about adding this. Yes, SVN can be somewhat easier to deal with, though I do not have time to do a full migration to SVN.
