I have included an external package callled SoPlex (a folder of .cpp and .h files and the library files) into my OMNet++ project. I have already tested the package in Code::Blocks IDE and it works fine besides some warnings it had: warning: explicit conversion operators only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11.
It certainly was working in Code::Blocks IDE. But when I want to use it in my OMNet++ project it gives a lot of errors for the SoPlex package like in the picture:
It gives a lot of errors for just the code of SoPlex and not my OMNet++ project code.
Any idea what may cause the problem?
I have used MinGW to compile SoPlex package in Code::Blocks IDE. When I use MinGW GCC in OMNet++ instead of GCC for OMNet++ as current toolchain there is this error fatal error: omnetpp.h: No such file or directory.
Regarding the errors with the 3rd party library. Depending where you put the library inside the src folder, at least that directory must be added as an include dir, otherwise the header files will not be found by the compiler.
As for the problem with the omnetpp.h: OMNeT++ has it's own makefile generator which automatically adds the required include folder (omnetpp_root/include). The generic MinGW GCC toolchain does not. If you want to avoid extra work, always use the omnet toolchain to build your models.

How can I link libxml on MinGW when using an omnetpp shell?
I am using omnetpp on a windows 10 machine.
My problem happens when I am trying to install the 3rd party package from here
I think that there is a problem in the Makefile failing to locate the libxml library
Following Rudi's answer (following the question) I changed the Makefile libxml path to I/mingw64/include/libxml2 but I still
get a undefined reference to 'xmlFunctionName' error (for many function names)
I tried to isolate the problem and to compile a sample of code from libxml2
Following the compilation guide: using gcc `xml2-config --cflags --libs` -o tree2 tree2.c
I got a fatal error: 'libxml/parser.h' file not found
When I replaced xml2-config --cflags --libs with -I/mingw64/include/libxml2
I got the same error as before undefined reference to 'xmlFunctionName'
what can I do to resolve that issue?
To this specific problem: libxml2 is actually already present as OMNET 5.x also uses it. All dependencies and tools are available in the tools/win64/mingw64 directory. The problem is that (for unknown reasons) the include file of the include/libxml2/libxml folder. The configure script correctly detects this and makes it available in the Makefile.inc as XML_CFLAGS= = -I/mingw64/include/libxml2
This must be added to the compiler flags for each file where you want to use the XML parser. (the library files are in the /mingw64/lib folder) so those are detected and can be used without additional config.
Generally, third party libraries should be available in the /mingw64/include and /mingw64/lib folders. You can either copy them manually there or try to install it with the mingw package manager (however that will most likely ruin your omnet installation as mingw64 is not particularly consistent and it is a rolling release - i.e. this is highly not recommended).
I had a CMake project. In order to use some cuda kernels in the project, i tried to first changed the name of mian.c to main.cu.
When i cmake the project, the Makefile is generated fine but when i try to build the project using make, the building process prompt me following:
main.cu: undefined reference to <ftns>
The building process works perfectly fine when i modify the main.cu to main.c
The issue was resolved.
The extension of the main was .cu and the which it was directly calling were in .c extensions. So i also changed the extension of those files to .cu and it worked.
I have a CMake file which does this:
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem)
add_library(MyModule MODULE main.cpp)
target_include_directories(MyModule PUBLIC ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(MyModule Boost::system Boost::filesystem)
I'm using VS 2017 as my generator. When I generate the project file with cmake, it finds boost_system-vc141-mt-1_63.lib and I can see that it is in the linking rules of the vcxproj. However, when I try to compile I get this error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc140-mt-1_63.lib
Note the different generators (vc140 vs vc141). I know my compiler has output the right values because I built boost from source, so I tried to just rename vc141 to vc140, but the error stayed the same. I also confirmed that vc140 is not referenced in the project file.
What's going on? How can I force boost to link to the correct version?
When building with Visual Studio, boost has some pragma statements which do the linking for you. This is called "Auto-linking" and it over-rides any command-line arguments you may be passing to the linker.
The solution is to define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB. This can be done in two ways:
In source code before including boost headers as #define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB.
It could be added to your cmake file as: add_definitions("-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB").
As of CMake 3.5: Use the disable_autolinking imported target:
target_link_libraries(MyModule Boost::system Boost::filesystem Boost::disable_autolinking)
I used Cmake gui and the FindBoost module to add Boost as a dependency in my visual studio 2010 c++ project. I set the parameter that tells FindBoost to use the win32 thread library instead of pthread (because I'm running on windows). When i build my code, all the calls to boost libraries compile fine, but boost itself is having a compile error. its failing on
boost\thread\pthread\mutex.hpp line 11
cannot open include file: 'pthread.h': No such file or directory
If I could make it use the win32 library, the mutex.hpp (and all the other files) dont call pthread.h
How do I build so that it uses boost\thread\win32 ?
here is the section of my cmakelists.txt
# include boost
set(BOOST_ROOT "E:/boost_1_58_0/boost_1_58_0")
add_definitions( -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB )
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS thread system)
if(Boost_FOUND)
message(STATUS "Boost was found, Success!")
# telling it to use win32 threads not pthreads
set(Boost_THREADAPI "win32")
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
endif()
CMake comes with a module called FindBoost which i used, and it correctly found the boost directory and set the following
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
E:/boost_1_58_0/boost_1_58_0/
Boost_LIBRARY_DIR
E:/boost_1_58_0/boost_1_58_0/stage/lib
Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG

I fixed the error but I had try what I call the "dumb" way. The "smart" way didnt work. Smart way was reviewing several times the cmakelists code and the visual studio include library settings. i even did a clean and rebuild boost using b2 and manually set threading=multi and link=static because i thought maybe the library just wasnt built correct.
Finally i gave up and tried the dumb way: I cut and pasted the pthread folder and moved it somewhere else, so that it was no longer in the boost/thread folder, only the win32 folder.
I wish i tried it so long ago, because i didnt think that the compilation error would be due to my project's code, but rather an environment setting in the include and linking. But sure enough i got an error showing that in one of my project's files i was directly trying to include that mutex.hpp from the pthread folder. i didnt write this code (its open source) so i couldnt have exactly known, but still i want to slap myself
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp>
changing pthread to win32 made the error go away.
I have included the boost library in a Codeblocks c++ project.
Now, in the file
boost/function.hpp
there is an include statement
#include <boost/preprocessor/iterate.hpp>
However I get this error in Codeblocks when I try and compile:
/home/arvind/Documents/Workspace/Browser/boost/function.hpp|15|fatal error:
boost/preprocessor/iterate.hpp: No such file or directory|
What am I doing wrong here? I have simply included the Boost library as it is.
Also, I cannot find the screen/option to set the main class (which will actually execute).
How do I do this?(I am new to CodeBlocks hence this question).
Your boost includes seem to be in a non-standard/system directory : /home/arvind/Documents/Workspace/Browser, you must tell the compiler to look there (gcc -I command-line switch).
Go to Project->Build Options->Search Directories->Compiler and add the directory where boost includes are. I don't have a codeblocks install right here so this was from here.
If you can, I would recommand installing boost on your system once and for all instead of just copying files in your codeblocks workspace.
