[Edit: Solution at the end]
Hi all,
For the past few days, I have been getting a weird problem with my ROOT library: “Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:”. I used this configure:
./configure macosx64 --enable-shared --enable-rpath --enable-soversion --enable-table --enable-opengl --enable-mysql --enable-pgsql --enable-sapdb --allI probably uninstalled and reinstalled ROOT 10 times in the past few days but the same error I can’t seem to fix is this one. I am using NetBeans with either clang++ or g++, or clang++ and g++ alone and it still gives me the same error.
I am using the exec3.C example.
If you have any idea, please let me know.
Thanks,
Cyrille

===============Solution===============
The problem was that when I compiled the program, I did not pass on the right flags to the linker. Here’s what needs to be added:
To figure this out, I used the following link, compiled in XCode and looked at how XCode was configured and noticed the differences with my NetBeans configuration.
This may not be the only reason why you’d get this error but this fixed it for me.
