Undefined symbol issues when using OpenMS namespace


I'm trying to get some sample code to work happily with OpenMS and running into a great deal of trouble. I have (just a small sample program that shipped as an example):

#include <OpenMS/FILTERING/SMOOTHING/GaussFilter.h>
#include <OpenMS/FORMAT/MzMLFile.h>
#include <OpenMS/KERNEL/StandardTypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace OpenMS;
using namespace std;

Int main(){
  PeakMap exp;

  MzMLFile mzdata_file;
  mzdata_file.load("../sampledata_Centroidmode.mzML",exp);

  GaussFilter g;
  Param param;
  param.setValue("gaussian_width",1.0);
  g.setParameters(param);

  g.filterExperiment(exp);

  return 0;
}

And I compile it:

g++ -Wall -IOpenMS-1.7.0/include -IOpenMS-1.7.0/contrib/include -I/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers -arch i386 scratch.cpp

It comes up with a boatload of errors (about ~500Kb of them, actually). The problem seems to lie in "using namespace OpenMS;" A small sample of the errors:

Undefined symbols:

      OpenMS::Internal::MzMLHandler<OpenMS::MSExperiment<OpenMS::Peak1D, OpenMS::ChromatogramPeak> >::handleUserParam_(OpenMS::String const&, OpenMS::String const&, OpenMS::String const&, OpenMS::String const&, OpenMS::String const&)in cc7cSzjW.o

Does anyone have insight as to what I'm not doing right?


Solution

  • Try compiling it to an object file (-c) and see if the problems still occur. E..g.: Is this a compiling issue or a linking issue?

    Also: Should there be a -L flag to search a particular library path? Should there be a -l flag to link in a particular library?
