Linking Erro with libGui.so

#1

Hello Rooters,
My application is trying to link with libGui.so and is giving error at run time
which states

**___undefined symbol: _ZN5TROOT14RegisterModule**


i had check libGui.so with nm --demangle and found 

 **nm --demangle libGui.so | grep Register**

  **U** TROOT::RegisterModule(char const*, char const**, char const**, char const*, char const*, void (*)(), std::vector<std::pair<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, int>, std::allocator<std::pair<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, int> > > const&, char const**, bool)

I believe this means that the function is not defined.

So do i have to switch on some specific flag while compiling ROOT.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you linking with libGui.so only? it’s not enough TROOT::RegisterModule ins in libCore.so, so you need to link also with libCore.so. I would suggest to use root-config --glibs instead of manually listing the libs

Cheers, Bertrand.

Yes my executable is linked with libCore.so also , infact many others as follows

Then TROOT::RegisterModule should be resolved. It should be in libCore.so. Can you check?

#5

Yes i checked using nm it is define in libCore.so, but i don’t know why its not linking.
Is there any way to direct link my executable with libCore.so

#6

-L$(ROOTSYS)/lib -lCore
