[Dune] Problems with linking an external library

Hi all,

I think I found a workaround to the problem:

extern "C"{
#include "ldl.h"
}

With this, everything links and executes correctly.
Cheers,
Andrea

Hi Bernd,

thanks for your answer, but unfortunately it is still not working.

I changed the Makefile.am to be:

dune_LDLtest_LDADD = \
        $(DUNE_LDFLAGS) $(DUNE_LIBS) \
        $(ALUGRID_LDFLAGS) $(ALUGRID_LIBS) \
        $(ALBERTA_LDFLAGS) $(ALBERTA_LIBS) \
        $(AMIRAMESH_LDFLAGS) $(AMIRAMESH_LIBS) \
        $(UG_LDFLAGS) $(UG_LIBS) \
        $(DUNEMPILIBS)  \
        $(UMFPACK_LDFLAGS) \
        $(LDADD) \
        -L/usr/local_machine/suitesparse-4.2.1/lib \
        -lldl -lamd -lrt -lblas -lgfortran -lm

dune_LDLtest_LDFLAGS = $(AM_LDFLAGS) \
        $(DUNEMPILDFLAGS) \
        $(UG_LDFLAGS) \
        $(AMIRAMESH_LDFLAGS) \
        $(ALBERTA_LDFLAGS) \
        $(ALUGRID_LDFLAGS) \
        $(UMFPACK_LDFLAGS) \
        $(DUNE_LDFLAG)

but I still get the same error. Precisely, here it is:

libtool: link: g++ -std=c++11 -O3 -Wall -DNDEBUG -funroll-loops -finline-functions -pthread -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mfpmath=sse -msse3 -o dune_LDLtest dune_LDLtest-dune_LDLtest.o -pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -Wl,--export-dynamic  -L/usr/local_machine/suitesparse-4.2.1/lib -L/usr/local_machine/ug-3.10.0/lib -L/usr/local_machine/openmpi-1.6.5/lib -lldl -lamd -L/usr/local_machine/parmetis-4.0.3/lib -L/usr/local_machine/zoltan-3.8/lib -L/usr/lib /usr/local_machine/dune-2.3.1/dune-fem-1.4.0/lib/.libs/libdunefem.a /usr/local_machine/dune-2.3.1/dune-alugrid-2.3.0/lib/.libs/libdunealugrid.a /usr/local_machine/dune-2.3.1/dune-alugrid-2.3.0/lib/.libs/libalugrid_2d.a /usr/local_machine/dune-2.3.1/dune-alugrid-2.3.0/lib/.libs/libalugrid_parallel.a -lgmpxx -lgmp -lzoltan -lparmetis -lmetis /usr/local_machine/dune-2.3.1/dune-alugrid-2.3.0/lib/.libs/libalugrid_serial.a -lz -lm /usr/local_machine/dune-2.3.1/dune-grid-2.3.1/lib/.libs/libdunegrid.a /usr/local_machine/ug-3.!

Hi Andrea,

I would put everything into LDADD instead of LDADD + LDFLAGS. I don't have a very good explanation for this, maybe you find this sufficient:
www.ttocp.blogspot.de/2011/06/ldadd-vs-ldflags.html

If this doesn't get you any further, please post the actual command that is passed to libtool / the linker.

Kind regards
Bernd
