Link error

Do you have a question about makefiles, a compiler or IDE you are using and need to know how to set it up for wxWidgets or why it doesn't compile but other IDE's do ? Post your questions here.

Link error

Post by ONEEYEMAN »

Hi,
In my project I have a static link library which exports couple of inline classes.
It is compiled and links to my main application without any issues.
One f the classes I export uses std::mutex.

However recently I tried to link this to another dynamic library that Im developing.
And out of the blue I start getting the link error:

Code: Select all

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class std::mutex X
I checked and I' am linking against this library in both cases and all standard libraries I link are the same in both cases

What am I missing?

Thank you.

With GCC, the order of the libraries matter.
No idea with Visual Studio, with GCC I would add the library a second time at the end of the library list and see if that fixes the issue.
If yes, then very likely an library order issue or circular library depends issue.
