Error on linking: duplicate section... ObjectEventFunctor

[pkuriakose]

Hello kind people,

Have any of you seen this. I am getting between 20 and 199 of these errors in both 2.9.1 and 2.9.2. I would be most grateful for the help.



*** c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:/wxWidgets-2.9.2/lib/gcc_lib/libwxbase29ud.a(baselib_utilscmn.o): warning: duplicate section `.rdata$_ZTV20wxObjectEventFunctor[vtable for wxObjectEventFunctor]' has different size


Thanks,

Paul

I am not running neither mingw nor windows but ... similar errors are often a result of more than one version of the same tool (for example, wxWidgets) on the linker path. I recommend checking your bag of linker errors on the library folders (up to the "warning"). Check whether you aren't linking more than one version of wxWidgets. All libraries (the ".a" files) should be from the same folder or from some subfolder of this folder - except standard libraries (they'll be ".lib" as usual). Check which folders the linker searches for libraries. Note that the linker will grab the first library it suits it so that the ordering of the folders on libpath matters sometimes.

Hi thanks for the suggestions. I recompiled wx just in case it was two def's of same class in 2 .a files. No .lib files in the link command. Created a blank project with just one window. No errors with 2.8.12, few warnings with 2.9.1, a metric ton of warnings with 2.9.2.
