Undefined Reference To 'initgraph' [message #1806592] Sat, 11 May 2019 03:42 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
My Code -

#include <iostream>
#include <winbgim.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "graphics.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int gdriver = 9;
int gmode = 2;
initgraph(&gdriver,&gmode, "");
setbkcolor(WHITE);
setcolor(BLACK);
cleardevice();
circle(320,240,180);
getch();
closegraph();
return 0;
}


The Error -

And your question is?

:) As Joost pointed out, you didn't ask anything.
But I'm guessing you meant to add "why am I getting these errors?"

Undefined reference to 'sym' is a link error saying you never defined the symbol 'sym'
Which means none of the object files you gave to the linker contain it.
In your case, they are likely in some library and you have to inform the linker which one it is.

You do this by adding -lxxx where the library name is libxxx.<some OS dependent lib extension>
And you add the path containing it to the library search list with -Lpath

To do this with a CDT Managed Build (where Eclipse/CDT creates the makefile),
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Settings --> Tool Settings tab --> Linker --> Libraries
The top pane in the resulting dialog is for library names without the -l
And the bottom one is for adding a path to the library search list (without the -L)
Eclipse will add the -l and -L as appropriate.
