I have looked a lot of placed to find this answer, but I have not been able to find anything that pertains to my situation. It seems so easy, which is why this is so frustrating.
I am building a project with CMAKE. I am generating two shared libraries. One includes the other. I am also generating an executable. The executable is linking to the shared library that encapsulates the other one. Here is the relevant portion of the code:
################################################################################
# Make the shared libraries
################################################################################
# Standard stuff
add_library(er SHARED src/std_math.cc src/snapshot.cc)
include_directories(hdr)
target_link_libraries(er rt)
# DSP library
add_library(dsp SHARED src/dsp.cc)
include_directories(hdr)
target_link_libraries(dsp er /usr/lib/libfftw3f.so /usr/lib/libfftw3.so)
################################################################################
# Make an Executable
################################################################################
message("-- Making executable for testing --")
add_executable(er_test test/dsp_test.cc)
include_directories(hdr)
target_link_libraries(er_test dsp)
################################################################################
# What to do with make install
################################################################################
message ("-- Writting install scripts --")
# See if there is an install directory already assigned. If not, set it to the
# system default.
if (NOT DEFINED INSTALL_DIR)
set (INSTALL_DIR /usr/local/)
endif (NOT DEFINED INSTALL_DIR)
message (" -- install_dir = ${INSTALL_DIR}")
# Install the libraries and header files to the appropriate places
install (TARGETS er dsp DESTINATION ${INSTALL_DIR}/bin)
install (FILES hdr/dsp.hh hdr/snapshot.hh hdr/std_math.hh DESTINATION ${INSTALL_DIR}/include)
Here is the error I get.
CMakeFiles/er_test.dir/test/dsp_test.cc.o: In function `main':
dsp_test.cc:(.text.startup+0x11e): undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& operator<< <int>(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> > const&)'

and there are many more where those came from. I have tried using static libraries, but then it just delays the problem until the next executable I try to include these libraries into. I have also tried using g++ instead of c++. I've tried swapping around library orders. Also, it is not a template issue since at least one of the references it can't find is not a templated function. I have searched the libraries for the symbols, and I was able to find them, although they were prepended and postpended by random characters.
I don't understand what's going on. Please help.
Thanks,
UPDATE
I found another link, specifically this one, that mentioned potential problems with add_subdirectory. This is a subproject to another project. So I sent into the project and built there. It worked! It still doesn't work in the parent directory though. Maybe that can give clues to someone.
Thanks again,
