gcc undefined reference even though ld finds the library and it contains the desired function

I work on a number of projects for which I must cross compile a number of libraries, some internal, some not. When working on a cross compiled application for one of our systems, I had to import some cross compiled internal libraries for my application. I'm using autotools for the application within Eclipse. The problem happens regardless of whether I'm in Eclipse or not. It happens regardless of platform for which I'm compiling, so all of my various versions of gcc encounter the same linking error. When I compile the application, the individual modules (*.c) compile fine, but when the final gcc command is issued to link everything into the final program, I get an 'undefined reference to GetCanMpdConfig' error.

Now, here's the kicker: the linker actually finds the file (I've verified this with -Wl,--verbose to get gcc to print the linker script). I direct your attention specifically to the line regarding -lcanmpdconf :

I have also verified that the library is for the correct platform (x86) and so therefore is in the correct format. I've also verified that it does indeed contain the required symbol (GetCanMpdConfig) with the output of nm:

         U __xstat@@GLIBC_2.0

To summarize: 1) Linking order in the gcc commands is correct (-llibname after -o blah.cpp) 2) Linker finds the library (libcanmpdconf.so) 3) Library is in the correct format for the platform (x86) 4) Library contains the symbol (see nm output)

There should be no reason, as far as I can tell, why there should be an undefined reference to any symbol that clearly exists in my library, which the linker can find. Does anybody know of any other ways I can try to troubleshoot this or what might be wrong ?

有帮助吗?

Could you be facing an

extern "C" 

problem?
