I've been trying to get Redhawk SDR to import an Octave M file. I initially started with Octave 3.8.2 and Redhawk 2.1.0. As another user discovered, this resulted in a do_octave_atexit error (do_octave_atexit missing? does createOctaveComponent work?) Despite the solutions in the answer, I was not able to get this to work. I then downgraded to Octave 3.6.4, as was also suggested. I now get the following error and I'm not sure how to overcome this fault.
The name of the file I'm attempting to port to Redhawk is named multByTwo.m. I've tried several files without any success. I can run the command without the --install parameter.
[root@localhost workspace]# createOctaveComponent --install multByTwo.m

make: *** [multByTwo] Error 1
I get a few warnings, but it's not until the end where I get
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.53.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
that it errors out. Similar issues on Stackoverflow have been resolved by adding various parameters to the command line. But in this case, the command line does not accept any other entries, as it's only >>createOctaveComponent --install fileName.m
Any thoughts?
The createOctaveComponent script seems to just invoke the code generators and create the associated Makefile.am and configure.ac files. The error you are getting is a linker error. It cannot find the symbol _ZN5boost10filesystem6detail16create_directoryERKNS0_4pathEPNS_6system10error_codeE. Older versions of gcc would automatically add the link if it could, even though the user hadn't specified it so I'm assuming you are on a newer OS than CentOS6. The linker is helpful enough to tell you that this symbol is in /usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem.so.1.53.0 so you could simply add the -lboost_filesystem to the build but this isn't the preferred way since autotools should be used to locate the library and detect the name.
If you look at the generated Makefile.am file you'll see $(BOOST_LDFLAGS) $(BOOST_THREAD_LIB) $(BOOST_REGEX_LIB) $(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB) but no boost filesystem. If you add $(BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIB) and then add the corresponding AX_BOOST_FILESYSTEM to the configure.ac file you can rerun ./reconf && ./configure && make && make install and it should locate the proper boost filesystem library and add it to the linker call.
