cpprestsdk: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64


I have visited all the other questions but from what I see none are my issue.

Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on MacBook Pro 16GB memory Intel Core I7

I have ran brew doctor as well but don't see any issues that would cause this issue. Below is my CMakeLists.txt file:

if(COMPLIER_SUPPORTS_CXX14)
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++14")
elseif(COMPILER_SUPPORTS_CXX0X)
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++0x")

I used brew to install cpprestsdk/2.8.0 which also includes boost/1.62.0 and openssl/1.0.2j and libiconv/1.14. My code is from a tutorial on wiki cpprestsdk.

#include <cpprest/http_client.h>
#include <cpprest/filestream.h>
#include <atomic>

using namespace utility;                    // Common utilities like string conversions
using namespace web;                        // Common features like URIs.
using namespace web::http;                  // Common HTTP functionality
using namespace web::http::client;          // HTTP client features
using namespace concurrency::streams;       // Asynchronous streams

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  auto fileStream = std::make_shared<ostream>();

  // Open stream to output file.
  pplx::task<void> requestTask = fstream::open_ostream( U("results.xml") ).then(
    [=](ostream outFile) {
        *fileStream = outFile;

        // Create http_client to send the request.
        http_client client(U("http://www.dictionaryapi.com/api/v1/references/"));

        // Build request URI and start the request.
        uri_builder builder(U("thesaurus/xml/"));
        builder.append_path(U("ranking"),true);
        builder.append_query(U("?key"), U("--------------------"));
        return client.request(methods::GET, builder.to_string());
  })

  // Handle response headers arriving.
  .then( [=](http_response response ) {
    printf("Received response status code:%u\n", response.status_code());

    // Write response body into the file.
    return response.body().read_to_end(fileStream->streambuf());
  })

  // Close the file stream.
  .then( [=](size_t ) {
    return fileStream->close();
  });

  // Wait for all the outstanding I/O to complete and handle any exceptions
  try {
    requestTask.wait();
  } catch (const std::exception &e) {
    printf("Error exception:%s\n", e.what());
  }//try-catch BLOCK

  return 0;
}//Main

To save some space only printing some the errors they all the same in can't be found:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Solution

  • The missing symbol names was due to a missing library. The necessary CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS are:

    CPPFLAGS = -stdlib=libc++
    LDFLAGS = -lcpprest -lboost_system -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_chrono-mt -lssl -lcrypto
    

    Thanks so much for everyone's help.
