Static linking of bullet in my app (linux, gcc)

[godlike]

I've build bullet statically and successfully created a few .a files. Now I want to use this static libs in my app. My link command line is:

Code: Select all

-rdynamic -Bdynamic -lGL -lGLU -lSDL_image -ljpeg -lGLEW -Bstatic `sdl-config --static-libs` -L../../../bullet_svn/src/BulletDynamics -lBulletDynamics -L../../../bullet_svn/src/BulletCollision -lBulletCollision -L../../../bullet_svn/src/LinearMath -lLinearMath -L../../../bullet_svn/src/BulletSoftBody -lBulletSoftBody

The problem is that I get a linkage error:

Code: Select all

main.o:(.rodata._ZTV17btTypedConstraint[vtable for btTypedConstraint]+0x60): undefined reference to `btTypedConstraint::serialize(void*, btSerializer*) const'

When I use the dynamic libraries of bullet the linking caries out successfully. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Strange, I've not seen this before.

The Bullet demos are using static linking by default. Have you tried building the demos using cmake, and does that work for you?

Make sure the link order is: BulletSoftBody, BulletDynamics, BulletCollision and LinearMath.

Thanks,

After a long search this is the magic link command:

Code: Select all

gcc <list of .o> -rdynamic -L../../../bullet_svn/src/BulletSoftBody -L../../../bullet_svn/src/BulletDynamics -L../../../bullet_svn/src/BulletCollision -L../../../bullet_svn/src/LinearMath -Wl,-Bstatic -lBulletSoftBody -lBulletDynamics -lBulletCollision -lLinearMath -lGLEW -lSDL_image -lGLU -Wl,-Bdynamic -lSDL -lpthread -lGL -ljpeg -lpng -ltiff

You have to put "-Wl,-Bstatic" before "-Wl,-Bdynamic" and resolve any dependency that bullet needs
