Linker error with iniparser

Question

I am trying to compile a project from source and receiving several undefined reference linker errors

g++  src/Misc/Utils.o src/Misc/Timer.o  ... -o bin/nsnake  -lncurses -liniparser

src/Config/INI.o: In function `INI::load(std::string)':                    
INI.cpp:(.text+0xbb): undefined reference to `iniparser_load(char const*)'
...
INI.cpp:(.text+0x726): undefined reference to `iniparser_dump_ini(_dictionary_*, _IO_FILE*)'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [nsnake] Error 1

I have already checked /lib and /usr/lib and both contain libiniparser.so.0 and the libiniparser.so -> libiniparser.so.0 symlink. Is there something else I am missing?

Answer 1

I had to add extern "C" { #include <iniparser.h> } in order for the compiler to link correctly.
