Can't import google v8 library [message #1784385]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the google v8 library.
So far, I compiled it as a static library and I m able to compile the hello-world example.

I'm able to compile the hello-world example from another directory with the command in the terminal :
Quote:

g++ -I/home/florian/workspace/lib/v8/v8/include /home/florian/workspace/test_v8/test_v8.cc -o test_v8compiled2 -Wl,--start-group /home/florian/workspace/lib/v8/v8/out.gn/x64.release/obj/{libv8_{base,libbase,external_snapshot,libplatform,libsampler},third_party/icu/libicu{uc,i18n},src/inspector/libinspector}.a -Wl,--end-group -lrt -ldl -pthread -std=c++0x

However, I can't get to compile the Hello-world example using eclipse IDE

All Options from cross g++ compiler :
Quote:

-std=c++0x -I/home/florian/workspace/lib/v8/v8/include -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -v

All Options from cross g++ linker :
Quote:

-L/home/florian/workspace/lib/v8/v8/out.gn/x64.release/obj -L/home/florian/workspace/lib/v8/v8/out.gn/x64.release/obj/third_party/icu -L/home/florian/workspace/lib/v8/v8/out.gn/x64.release/obj/src/inspector

I also put the libraries in the Libraries option (-l)
v8_base
v8_libbase
.. So on

I get a lot of "undefined reference " error while compiling. What am I missing ??
Why doesn't the -l appear in the All Options from cross g++ linker ?
Thanks

You mean you can't link it.
It probably compiled OK.

The problem is that the libraries must be presented as a group to the linker.
This tells the linker to scan them repeatedly to resolve circular references.
They need to appear between --start-group and --end-group.
In the g++ command line these are preceded by -Wl, which means "pass to linker".
(Note: the comma is important)

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/ld-2.9.1/html_node/ld_3.html

It's going to be difficult to get the CDT tool chain to place these properly.
You may be able to get it done using the linker Miscellaneous settings.
However, it will likely be easier to create your own makefile.

Yeah actually I figured it out yesterday, it was indeed a circular reference issue.

I gave the library path with the -L option and I appended all the library from v8 with the -l option in between the start-group and stop-group in Miscellaneous.

Now it compiles fine

Thank you for your help

IMPORTANT :

I also had to change the linker command to

${COMMAND} ${OUTPUT_FLAG}${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS} ${FLAGS}
instead of
${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} ${OUTPUT_FLAG} ${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS}
