Dang Linker errors

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.

Dang Linker errors

Post by protocol »

snippet of output:

it plagues all of my wxWidgets compiled at command line

bash# g++ `wx-config --libs --cppflags` QuCursorDlg.cpp QuCursor\ App.cpp mousewatch.cpp -o QuCursor

(I really thinks its the command)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This is just a shot in the dark:

Those dreaded "undefined reference to vtable" linker errors happen if you have a method declaration without definition in the class.
Check for something like

Code: Select all

foo.h:

class foo{

 void bar();

};
and foo.cpp is missing the "void foo:bar(){...};".
In your case I'd have a close look at mousewatch.cpp/mousewatch.h.

HTH, Chris

I'll check that out. Thanks for the reply.

But what about the rest of the errors, any ideas would be appreciated.

The rest of the errors may very well be subsequent errors because of the missing vtable (and hence no way to call virtuals).
