Hello-
I've got a nice C program written that uses libsndfile (#include
<sndfile.h>) to convert my raw data into a properly-formatted wav file.
The program is composed of a single .c file that compiles without error
under gnu/linux.
Unfortunately, when ld tries to link the file, I get the following:
bash> gcc -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE wavconvert.c -o wavconvert
wavconvert.c: In function `main':
wavconvert.c:95 : warning: implicit declaration of function `sfclose'
/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x149): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sf_open'
/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x1d1): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sf_write_int'
/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x1e9): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sf_strerror'
/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x20c): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sfclose'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I've googled the error, but people only seem to experience it:
- When using g++, or
- When using gcc under a gygwin environment
I've tried including the file using:
#include "/usr/include/sndfile.h"
....instead of the standard inclusion, but this doesn't change ld's
behavior. I've verified that the file is indeed there, and does refer
to a .so library that is present where expected.
Does anyone know what I might do to mitigate this?
Thanks,
Dave

Looks like you're missing a command line argument telling gcc that
you want to link against libsndfile.so. Try appending "-lsndfile" to
your command line and it should work if you installed the library
correctly.

These errors aren't related to missing/wrong include files, they would
already show up at compile time, not when the linker is trying to put
together the compiled files and libraries to create the final executable.

Yes. Post your question to news:comp.unix. programmer, where it would be
topical -- and would no doubt be answered promptly.
[hint: You need to link in the library -- or, to be more specific, you
have to tell the linker what library you want to link. Look at the gcc
docs to see how.]

Sorry about the OT post - I guess I'm new enough to this whole C
programming thing that I had yet to differentiate the two!
Hopefully your advice solves the problem; perhaps a makefile would be a
good thing to start using at this point. At any rate, thanks and I will
take this question somewhere more appropriate!

That's a warning from the compilation. Given the names of the other
functions mentioned in errors, and that none of them created warnings,
should it be sf_close?
/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x149): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sf_open'
/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x1d1): In function `main':

/tmp/ccfQdaR8.o(.tex t+0x20c): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sfclose'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Several hints there that it's the linker which is complaining, not the
compiler. /tmp/ccfQdaR8.o gives a clue, it's a .o (object) file not a
..c (C source) file. The references to collect2 and ld are also
indicative.
Linking and libraries are not things which are part of standard C
(linking is mentioned but only in the context of what name formats are
guaranteed to work and be unique).
I've googled the error, but people only seem to experience it:
- When using g++, or
- When using gcc under a gygwin environment
"undefined reference" means that it can't find the function, because you
haven't told the compiler/linker where to look for it. Adding a switch
like -lsndfile may solve it (look at the man pages for details).
One of the Unix programming newsgroups would have more definite
information (I use my own C++ WAV file library, not libsndfile, for WAV
I/O).

The #include of the header file is the interface to the library which tells
the compiler how to call the library functions, but it does not instruct
the compiler how to get the library implementation, the actual code that
does the work. That's usually something like -lsndfile on the compiler
command to load /usr/lib/libsndfile.* library implementation with your
code.

It was the folks of comp.lang.c that pointed Dave to the sound library,
and then when after following their advice he had a further question they
went all lame nimby on him, especially consider how simple the fix was.

You should link your program with the library correspoding to libsndfile.
Use the following command instead,
gcc -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE wavconvert.c -o wavconvert -LLIBSNDFILEDIR
-lsndfile
LIBSNDFILEDIR is the directory in which libsndfile.so.* is.

You're the one who is using the strong language.
Presumably Dave is an American college student who doesn't mind this sort of
thing.
But how do you know that he isn't a Kuwaiti 14-year old, and his father
hasn't forbidden him from reading the ng again because he doesn't want his
son exposed to such language? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have been able to compile all modules after making necessary changes

If you want your code to be bulletproof, do you have to explicitly check
for the existence of any possibly-undefined variable?
Example: window.outerHeight is defined by some browsers, but not others.
It would therefore seem prudent, before using this variable, to do
something like:
if (typeof (window.outerHeight) != "undefined") { do stuff that
refers to this variable }
else { work around the fact that the variable isn't defined }
