Cannot build tests

[Timothée Lecomte]

Hi,

I am trying to run libadjoint tests to verify that the build is working correctly. Unfortunately, tests refuse to be built by default.

When I run 'make test', I get the following error:

  FC bin/tests/test_adj_datatype_size
ld: library not found for -lstdc++
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bin/tests/test_adj_datatype_size] Error 1

This is on MacOS X 10.6.8, where mpif90 is present. I have finally succeeded in running the tests using 'FC="" CC=g++ make test' (to bypass Fortran build, and use g++ compiler since I built libadjoint with it), but it would be nice if the fortran-related error was not there.

Thanks for your help !

For reference for future readers of this page, the solution was found on bug #1135519:

It looks like my stdc++ problem comes from the fact that gfortran is used for the linking, and I have gfortran 4.7.2 installed (from Homebrew):
minerve:dorsal tlecomte$ gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.7.2

'gfortran -lstdc++' complains while 'gcc -lstdc++' and 'g++ -lstdc++' do not,

Well, as you suggested, I changed '-lstdc++' to '-lstdc++.6' in line 176 of the Makefile, and got rid of that error. Finally, I had to install greadlink (through Homebrew coreutils) to get the python bindings properly built, and now I have a fully working libadjoint where all tests pass ! Thanks !!
