Help required building app

I have encountered a perplexing problem while trying to build an
application, and I need some help in fixing my build environment to get
it to compile.

I am running Whitebox Linux 3 (similar to Redhat Enterprise Linux 3) to
build a midi application, and I am getting an "undefined reference"
error during linking. The error is saying that it cannot find a symbol
which was already compiled and linked from another part of the
application. The linker should be finding the object file, since it
resides where all of the built object files from the app are placed,
and the other parts of the app can find the objects there when linked.

Can anyone point me to where to look in order to fix my build
environment, and get this program compiled? I have asked the
developers group for the app for suggestions, and they only suggested
that I install an older rpm, which is about a year old, instead of
trying to compile the latest. I am hoping that the wider linux
community can provide some assistance in getting this built. If you
need more info, I can provide it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I'm almost certain they can. But this is not where they discuss
such things. Here is where we discuss the C++ language. Find
a Linux group, or better yet, a group or mailing list which discusses
your particular build tools.

I have a problem that I am desperate to understand. It involves dynamically adding controls to a Table control that is built as a result of performing a database query. I am not looking to avoid the problem by avoiding the table control or resorting to databound controls that better manage state for me. I hope to understand how to solve the problem by using the Table web control and sticking to the approach of building the table at run...

Hi I've spent a good majority of my day trying to figure out how to have PIL 1.1.5 working on my OSX 10.3.9_PPC machine. I'm still stuck and I have not gotten anywhere. Could somebody please help me... I've scoured all the documentation, google, and mailing lists to no avail. I believe the problem may lay in a jpeglib problem with OSX 10.3.9, or a python paths problem.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
