Question

I am trying to get OGDF working to see if it is suitable for my project, but I am having trouble with a sample program.

I am trying to compile this example program:

#include <ogdf/basic/Graph.h>
#include <ogdf/basic/graph_generators.h>
#include <ogdf/layered/DfsAcyclicSubgraph.h>

using namespace ogdf;

int main()
{
    Graph G;
    randomSimpleGraph(G, 10, 20);
    DfsAcyclicSubgraph DAS;
    DAS.callAndReverse(G);
    G.writeGML("test.gml");

    return 0;
}

using this command:

$g++ -pthread -I ./OGDF/ -L ./OGDF/_release/ -lOGDF test2.cpp 

But I get the following error

/tmp/ccbpkfdt.o: In function `main':
test2.cpp:(.text+0x12): undefined reference to `ogdf::Graph::Graph()'
test2.cpp:(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to `ogdf::randomSimpleGraph(ogdf::Graph&, int, int)'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried compiling hello world, with an include from OGDF, and I still got:

undefined reference to `ogdf::Initialization::Initialization()'

I think I am not linking properly or something?

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

You have to be very careful in which order you type stuff when linking with a library. Try putting test2.cpp before -lOGDF instead, like this:

g++ -pthread -I ./OGDF/ -L ./OGDF/_release/ test2.cpp -lOGDF 

You must build your program using the -DOGDF_DLL when using OGDF as a shared library.
