C++ program gets undefined reference to a dynamic C library during linking

I've created a dynamic networking library in C. When I try to开发者_如何学Python link it in my C++ program I get an undefined reference the first time I call one of my functions in the library. What I can't understand is that I created a little test program in C that uses the library and it links just fine.

Could someone help with my problem? Here are the steps I've taken to create my library and link it.

Library creation:

  • Code my library
  • Compile with the line: gcc -c -fPIC -g -Wall ./libnet.c
  • Link my library object file and create the shared object file with the line: gcc -shared -o libnet.so -g -Wall ./libnet.o

Move my library to the appropriate folders and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

  • I copy my library to two directories. One directory is the test C program that links properly and one is the C++ program that doesn't link properly.
  • I set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to both the directories that use the library

Compile and link my program:

  • Code my program
  • Compile all my .cpp files with the line: g++ -c -g -Wall ./
  • Link together all my object files and the shared library to create my program with the line: g++ -o -g -Wall -L./ -lnet

Here is the make file that I use. Maybe I have something wrong in here?

PPFLAGS = -g -Wall

TARGET = msgfrwdserver

OBJS = msgfrwdserver.o msgfrwdhelper.o msgfrwd.o climsgfrwd.o

LIBS = libnet.so

CPPLP = -L/usr/home/chris/development/legends/servers/monitor -L/usr/home/chris/development/legends/servers/msgfrwd

CPPFILES = ./msgfrwdserver.cpp ./msgfrwdhelper.cpp ./classes/msgfrwd.cpp ./classes/climsgfrwd.cpp

CPPIP = -I./classes -I/usr/home/chris/development/legends/libnet

all: ${OBJS} ${TARGET}

${TARGET}: ${OBJS} ${LIBS}

g++ -o ${TARGET} ${PPFLAGS} -L./ -lnet ${CPPIP} ${OBJS}

msgfrwdserver.o: ./msgfrwdserver.cpp

g++ -c ${PPFLAGS} ${CPPIP} ./msgfrwdserver.cpp

msgfrwdhelper.o: ./msgfrwdhelper.cpp

g++ -c ${PPFLAGS} ./msgfrwdhelper.cpp

msgfrwd.o: ./classes/msgfrwd.cpp

g++ -c ${PPFLAGS} ./classes/msgfrwd.cpp

climsgfrwd.o: ./classes/climsgfrwd.cpp

g++ -c ${PPFLAGS} ${CPPIP} ./classes/climsgfrwd.cpp

clean: rm -rf ${TARGET} *.o *~ .core ./classes/~

I really have no idea what the problem could be. Any help would be much appreciated. Do I have to do something differently to get a C library to work with a C++ program?

Sorry that the make file is messy. I didn't exactly translate well when I tried to block quote it or say it was a code sample.


C library functions must have en extern "C" definition in order to call them from C++ to turn of name-mangeling.

extern "C" 
{ 
    int test();
}

With the extern , the the Microsoft C++ compiler will look for the symbol "_test", otherwise it will look for "?test@@YAHXZ" (The C++ name-mangeled version of int test() )
