Re: compiler "unresolved inclusion" is not an error ?

18-Jul-20 6:30

SOLVED case closed
As expected - pkg-config DOES NOT integrate with just any Eclipse version / release.
I got it working as expected in 2018-09!
Sorry for wasting everybody time.
Cheers

This is really driving me nuts.

The verbose output form complier and project GUI will show same

/usr/include....

However
only full path include file passes test

#include /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm.h

Including gtkmm.h by itself , will show
"unresolved inclusion"
#include "gtkmm.h"

On top of this - build is successful, no errors and it runs.

So "unresolved inclusion" error is no error ?

Re: compiler "unresolved inclusion" is not an error ?

I can only assume that eclipse is doing something. Normally, a header file that can't be found results in a fatal error. If you really are using #include "gtkmm.h", maybe eclipse is searching the project directory for the include file and that is what is generating the warning message. GCC/G++ on the other hand, searches the project directory and then the normal system directories for "" delimited include files Include Syntax (The C Preprocessor) If it is the case that you're using #include "gtkmm.h" try changing to #include <gtkmm.h>, and see if that removes the warning.

Putting pkg-config as options generates this error

18-Jul-20 7:55

If it is the case that you're using #include "gtkmm.h" try changing to #include <gtkmm.h>, and see if that removes the warning.

I do not know how to enter greater / less then charactere here.

I did try #include <gtkmm.h> ( i just cut and paste your text ) with same result.

If you czech my next post you will find the answer - I am inclined to believe it is IDE problem.

After I did "new project" from scratch the build fails as expected when the file cannot be found.

Addendum
This is just to keep the discussion going.
I did not verify this , but it looks as every time backtick string is added the build process has no error but the includes which cannot be satisfied are flagged as such in source file.

I am begging to question WHERE does the backtick string belong - as an option to complier or elsewhere?

( See the other discussion about backtick.)

Re: Putting pkg-config as options generates this error

18-Jul-20 16:39

It's official - adding `pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs` to either complier or linker options generates this problem.

If there is #include file in source WHICH cannot be found, it is flagged , but the build is without an error and runs.

As far as build goes there are NO errors!

Is it possible I am putting the backtick string in wrong place ?

In Eclipse, you open the Properties of your project -> expand "C/C++ General" -> "Paths and Symbols".

include dir is not right add the directory to it or fix what is there

It throws that warning then goes down the search path set in enviroment and then finds it.
So you end up compiling fine with a stupid warning in between.

In vino veritas

[SOLVED CLOSED] See addendum GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

18-Jul-20 22:06

I have used eclipse extensively in the past and it works fine. Your comment re double quotes versus angle brackets is correct. But that (and all the other issues) are nothing to do with eclipse, but about how the compiler search paths work.

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

16-Jul-20 14:30

`pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0`

I have added the backticks string to both GCC compiler and linkers options and still getting the usual "undefined reference" error.
The tutorial does not explain much about implementing this backticks string.
(Should it add library -l refernces ??)

I woudl appreciate references or comments on this and suggestions how to actually resolve this issue.

I am enclosing the complier / liker verbose output for information, and I am sorry to take so much bandwidth with it.

Cheers

CODE DELETED

Addendum
I do not like blaming problems elsewhere, BUT,
this problem is really not related to using backtick syntax. After some trials it works as expected.

There were few other problems AFTER I updated to latest version of IDE. So I down paddled to previous, working release and imported the GTK project there.

Just build a clean GTK project and it works as expected.

I am sorry for wasting everybody time with a problem related to flaky IDE.

Cheers

Run your backticked phrase (without backticks), redirected to a file. Then you can see what it injects into your command line when it's used backticked.
Something like

pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 > lookatmeclosely

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

16-Jul-20 15:57

Thanks, but I know what is does - look at all the -I in the attached file. I think g++ also needs -l - libraries or library - for GTK.
But I am not sure how to do it if I need more.
Can I use similar method
as pkg-config to get -l /-L ?

Addendum

Did some research and found this

z@z-desktop Unsure | :~

$ pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0
-lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lcairo-gobject -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0

That is what is needed.

However adding another backtick string `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` did not produced expected libraries.

Will do some experimentation with that - it should work.

More edit

If I add
`pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` to linker options I get about 20 additional -l libraries in output.

However I still get "undefined reference " error.
Later...

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 3:53

Make sure you are adding the --libs option to the link phase in your IDE. e.g.
compiler flags : ... `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` ...
linker flags : ... `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` ...

As an aside, you should be aware that the backtick idiom is a shell level construct, and is not anything specific to gcc. so you could do the following :

$ ls -l `find . -name *.cpp`

Which would produce a long listing of all cpp files in the current directory tree.

Vaclav_17-Jul-20 4:55

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 4:55

OK, putting wrong option may be one of the issues.
I did put BOTH --cflag and --libs in complier and linker options. I also tried
this combined syntax
`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`

The compiler and linker verbose outputs looks OK ( too big to repost here ) , BUT the unresolved error is apparently different issue.

I am enclosing what I posted in Eclipse forum here:

This error has been posted years ago and there was NO SOLUTION,

See this old post

[b]However, this only solved the issue of adding all the header files manually. Now I encounter errors like "Function 'G_CALLBACK' could not be resolved". I tried to compile my source-code (the first example of the GTK3 tutorial) in a terminal using the simple "gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o example-0 First_GTK_test.cpp `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`" command and it works. So the issue must be an Eclipse setting issue.[/b]

Every GTK tutorial is same - download / install GTK and run sample code in your editor...

It is up to the user to figure out how to option complier / linker to "include sources and link libraries"
Adding `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` should work, I get expected verbose output , but it does not.
Even after that is done the compilation will fail because #include <gtk gtk.h=""> is unresolved.

Here is an output of whereis

z@z-desktop Unsure | :~

$ whereis gtk.h
gtk:
z@z-desktop Unsure | :~

$

Any help woudl be appreciated
End of Eclipse post.

I am really at lost where the reference
<gtk gtk.h=""> came from and unsure how to find gtk.h manually - where ?

Appreciate all the help with such trivial issue.

Cheers

Vaclav_17-Jul-20 5:19

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 5:19

OK, this makes no sense
Eclipse IDE has under includes
/usr/include

BUT
I had to add this full path manually to get rid of " file doe snot exist " AKA undefined reference

#include /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h
( < > won't show !!!! )

Now my first usage of GTK gives the "undefined reference " error - same as the very old post on Eclipse.

In my view - the "top reference" is OK, but anything "bellow" is still unreferenced.

This is a mess...

k505417-Jul-20 5:38

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 5:38

I'm fairly sure that the "undefined reference" is a link phase error, not a compile phase problem, so I don't think changing the headers or header search path will not help you

Vaclav_ wrote:

/usr/include

I don't use eclipse, but it looks to me like that's a path, so I think you would add
/usr/include/gtk-3.0
assuming you're adding #include <gtk gtk.h=""> to your source file

If you're getting the object files compiled successfully, but not getting the linking done then try, from a command line

gcc file1.o file2.o ... `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` -o myapp

if you're compiling C++ code, use g++ to link, not gcc, as that will link in stdlib++.o, and do anything else that C++ needs that plain C doesn't

I don't see where you've said exactly what the undefined reference you're getting is. Its possible that its not a gtk+ function, but maybe a math (eg. abs, ceil cos) or function from another library.

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 6:05

I am including , again, full complier / linker output. This is for purpose of discussion , I hope I can delete it later.

Here is a full verbose output of complier and linker, note slew of "includes".
In theory #include /gtk/gtk.h should work.

If the error is flagged in IDE as " file not accessible" does it really matters if it is complier or linker error?

( The Eclipse refers to complier as "Linux GCC" then as "GCC C++ Complier" however the actuall options string starts with "g++". Semantics???)

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 6:19

The undefined ref is gtk_window_new defined in GtkWindow: GTK+ 3 Reference Manual[^]. No idea what OP is trying to do, as usual he has not explained.

Undefined reference GTK issue was Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 6:57

How did you pick that up? I copied the entire output posted at the top of this thread, and
a) a search for "undefined" turned up nothing, and
b) as currently shown, the compile completes successfully!!
Doing a quick perusal of the rest of the thread, I didn't notice any further mention of exactly what was undefined.
At this point, I have no idea what the problem is, since it looks to me like the compile/link is correct - -lgtk-3 is in the link options. Maybe Eclipse is doing something odd.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Re: GCC ` backtick` CLI - what does it actually do ?

17-Jul-20 7:35

Here is the part of actual code

#include /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h // edited so it show
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *label;
cout << "WINDOW sample code" << endl; // prints
/* Create the main, top level window */
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

And here is the tail of the compile / link process

./src/GTK_WIKI.o: In function `main':
/media/z/DEV_COPY_LABEL/ECLIPSE_FOLDER/2020_228/work_228/GTK_WIKI/Debug/../src/GTK_WIKI.cpp:49: undefined reference to `gtk_window_new'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [GTK_WIKI] Error 1
"make all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

12:30:58 Build Failed. 3 errors, 2 warnings. (took 2s.647ms)

Any actual , constructive help to solve the problem is appreciated.

Cheers

It was right at the end of the build output in the previous message:

/media/z/DEV_COPY_LABEL/ECLIPSE_FOLDER/2020_228/work_228/GTK_WIKI/Debug/../src/GTK_WIKI.cpp:49: undefined reference to `gtk_window_new'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [GTK_WIKI] Error 1
"make all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

10:50:37 Build Failed. 3 errors, 2 warnings. (took 2s.689ms)

Did you search the original which did not have any errors?

I can only assume that there is an object file or library missing from the build.

[edit]
I have also tried to explain a number of times to OP that adding header files to a build has no effect on linker errors.

I need to put code from my MFC app into a C++ app for iPad. And I have read a lot to figure out what should I use to develop such a thing. Can I call your experience in order to guide me what kind of framework to use for that ? I thought the shortest way is to use a virtual machine, but I don't think that it would be possible to use virtual machine on a iPad ...

I don't developed any app for MAC OS and any extra information regarding this is useful to me.

Thank you.

Take a look at Xamarin.iOS - Hello iPad - Code Samples | Microsoft Docs[^].

Yes, but I saw there C# code, not C++ ... and I need C++, I don't know C# at all.
