[FIXED]undefined reference `std::ctype<char>::_M_widen

[HedgeMan]

Hi SFMLers,

I'm getting the following error message when compiling the clock-example from "Tutorial - Getting started - SFML and gcc (Linux)" on gNewSense:

Code: [Select]

> g++ -c clock.cpp
> g++ -o clock clock.o -lsfml-system
/usr/local/lib/libsfml-system.so: undefined reference to `std::ctype<char>::_M_widen_init() const@GLIBCXX_3.4.11'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What I've done so far:
-Donwloaded SFML-1.6 to my Desktop
-Unpacked it
- Opened Terminal:

Code: [Select]

> sudo make install
[sudo] password for userXY:

Seems that I don't have the correct version of libstdc++:

Code: [Select]

> strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.0
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.1
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.2
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
Any suggestions? Should try to use an older version of SFML or compile SFML by myself (trying to change the c++ standard lib by brute force seems a little dangerous I think )?

Maybe you can upgrade your libstdc++ library.  

Something like:   apt-get install --reinstall libstdc++6

[HedgeMan]

No, just the same... think I'll have to wait until the libs are updated... (I have no idea why sfml is not part of gNewSense)

But thanks for your help!

[Breakman79]

Actually, I believe another solution would be to simply recompile the SFML library on your computer so that is uses your older version of libstdc++

Yes, I tried, but there is a problem with the dependencies:

To build SFML, I need the package libglu1-mesa-dev, but when I try to mark it for installation, I get the message:

Code: [Select]

libglu1-mesa-dev:
  dependes on: libglu1-mesa (=7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3) but 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3gnewsense3 is to be installed

so if I try to remove libglu1-mesa there is a long list of packages/programs that will be also removed.

So if I try make, I get the following:

Code: [Select]

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/userXY/Desktop/SFML-1.6/src/SFML/Graphics'
g++ -o Drawable.o -c Drawable.cpp -W -Wall -pedantic -I../../../include -I../../ -O2 -DNDEBUG -fPIC -I/usr/include/freetype2
In file included from ../../SFML/Graphics/GraphicsContext.hpp:33,
                 from Drawable.cpp:29:
../../SFML/Graphics/GLEW/glew.h:1114:20: error: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory
which IMHO is because I can't install libglu1-mesa-dev.

Ah, I had a look at the package-manager... perhaps I can force my gNewSense to use the 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3-version of libglu1-mesa... think I'll give it a try.

If you don't hear from me anymore, you know that this was a bad idea... :twisted:

[HedgeMan]

Ok, things are working now.

After forcing gNewSense to use the 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3-version of libglu1-mesa I was able to install libglu1-mesa-dev and compile SFML as described in the tutorial.

I was able to compile and run the clock program, did a reboot and checked my system for updates: No suspicious messages at any time so everything seems to work fine now (I hope I haven't done something that will crash my system some day suddenly since I'm relative new to gNewSense ).

If there are any problems I will post.

Thank you very much for your help, Breakman79!!!

My pleasure  Glad you were able to get it working.

It's often the case that you find the solution by explaining someone what you have done so far...

Hello I am experiencing the same problem.  How did you force gNewSense to use the 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3-version of libglu1-mesa?   I also need  to install libglu1-mesa-dev and compile something.
