rohc

How can I compile the example code using g++?

Asked by Kent Lai

Hello,

I want to use this library in my c++ program.

I followed steps to compile the example code in tutorial.

$gcc -o simple_rohc_program.exe $(pkg-config rohc --cflags) simple_rohc_program.c $(pkg-config rohc --libs) -I ../

The above command is work for gcc, but when I use g++ with the same parameters to compile the example code, I get following error messages:

/tmp/ccOVvx9H.o: In function `main':
simple_rohc_program.c:(.text+0x5a): undefined reference to `rohc_alloc_compressor(int, int, int, int)'
simple_rohc_program.c:(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `rohc_comp_set_random_cb(rohc_comp*, int (*)(rohc_comp const*, void*), void*)'

simple_rohc_program.c:(.text+0x41a): undefined reference to `rohc_free_compressor(rohc_comp*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

How can I fix this problem?

$ pkg-config rohc --modversion
1.6.1

$ pkg-config rohc --cflags

$ pkg-config rohc --libs
-lrohc_decomp -lrohc_comp -lrohc_common

The output of the second command is a blank line.

Regards,
Kent

Re,

The problem is related to the build of a C++ program with g++ with the ROHC library written in C. The 1.6.1 version of the ROHC library is not ready for this.

Please apply the following patch on 1.6.1, re-build and install, then try again to build the example with g++.

Didier

The change was committed in the 1.6.x branch. It will be part of the next stable 1.6.2 release.
