linking problem with libstdc++6, compilation fails

[Luc Pi]

I am trying to compile gnote

everything goes fine until the last stage of linking the binary:

> CXX main.o
> CXXLD gnote
> /usr/bin/ld: addinstreemodel.o: undefined reference to symbol '_ZSt7nothrow@@GLIBCXX_3.4'
> /usr/bin/ld: note: '_ZSt7nothrow@@GLIBCXX_3.4' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
> /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I first thought colorgcc could interfere, I disabled it, but it did not help.
I have tried to add /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu to LD path, but it did not help.

Compilation was working just fine until recently (4-5 weeks maybe)
I have no idea what to try next.

re-run the package build in verbose mode and show the complete command line (not just CXXLD ...)

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

How do I do this? (expand the CXXLD) ?

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

I got it.

libstdc++ is indeed missing from the linking line.

This right above was a wrong statement. I tried to, but screwed the syntax.

Now I ran

$ LDFLAGS='-lstdc++ /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6' ./configure
$ make V=1

and compilation completes.

I have no idea why libstdc++ is not in the ld path/flags
It used to work fine a few weeks ago.

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

Note: gnote master/HEAD compiles fine on gnote developers computer. (fedora?)

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

not a GCC issue. you better should use g++ when linking c++ code.

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

Yes, I don't recall I filed the bug report under gcc.

I am just typing 'make' to compile.

I think there is something wrong somewhere that in the last weeks it stopped just compiling.
