getopt_long problem

[jenea]

HI!
I write a little test program.
In witch I use getopt_long function...
I included unstd.h , optget.h , stdio.h and stdlib.h
when i try to link the program with gcc -o result main.o
( within a makefile , i.e I run make)
it says

tmp/ccGfK1gp.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to
`__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [run] Error 1

As result it doesn't generate binary file :(
When I remove call of getopt_long functions the problem disapears...
Realy strange!...
Any ideas ?
10x in advance .

You are writing C++, not C, and so you need to use g++ rather than gcc
to link.

getopt_long is a red herring; you need to check if you are
unintentionally using C++ features in your program. Assuming you are
writing C, since this is a C group, you need to remove the C++
features from your code and then linking should work fine.

The same message appeared in a similar thread just a few
hours ago: (Subject: GCC linker throws weird error message)
I am compiling with GCC 3.2, and it works well enough. However,
sometimes when I try to link libraries, the linker throws
"NOTAD.o(.eh_frame+0x11):NOTAD.C: undefined reference to
`__gxx_personality_v0'". This never happened until about 3 days ago.

The solution is: because your filename is in UPPER CASE gcc is treating it as a C++
source. rename extension to lower case (.c instead of .C) and it
should work.

Truly a *clear* error message:
tmp/ccGfK1gp.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to
`__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
