Hi,
I’m trying to extend a simple function from a large C++ API library
for Ruby (OpenAccess). Ultimately I’d like to add functionality over
time; however, I want to get a simple test case up and running as a
proof-of-concept. I believe the problem is properly pointing to the
large C++ library. Let me begin with the problem seen (after using
Swig and extconf.rb):
irb(main):001:0> require ‘libtest’
LoadError: ./libtest.so: undefined symbol:
_ZNK12OpenAccess_46oaFile6existsEv - ./libtest.so
from ./libtest.so
from (irb):1
In my libtest.cpp file I have:
#include “oaDesignDB.h”
And in my extconf.rb file:
require ‘mkmf’
$libs = append_library($libs, “supc++”)
This does not seem to add the path to the “-I” option in the make
file
even though the header is found.
find_header(‘oaDesignDB.h’, ‘/path/to/the/header’)
And this does not work also even though $INCFLAGS has a value before
as “-I$(topdir)” and with the added path afterwards… it just
doesn’t get
into the make file for some reason
$INCFLAGS += " -I#{path}"
create_makefile(‘libtest_wrap’)
