After (supposedly semi-)successfully installing mpir thanks to BIll Hart, I tried to compile and run my .cpp program. But I got a list of compile errors, which I believe is linked to mpir.
First, I used ./configure --with-yasm=/usr/local/bin/yasm --enable-cxx to install mpir on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (on an Intel Core 2 Duo U9300 CPU). The header files in my cpp source code are (just some regular stuff): #include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <stdio.h> #include <mpir.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> In my program, I simply used those floating-point mpf_ functions, such as mpf_set(), mpf_sub(), mpf_add(), mpf_mul(), mpf_init(), mpf_clear(), etc. Nothing fancy. The compile command I used is g++ -std=c++11 -lmpir -lmpirxx BigPi.cpp And I got the following errors: /tmp/ccPY8XNc.o: In function `borwein()': BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `__gmpf_set_default_prec' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x57): undefined reference to `__gmpf_init_set_d' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `__gmpf_init_set_d' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0xa7): undefined reference to `__gmpf_init_set_d' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0xcf): undefined reference to `__gmpf_init_set_d' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0xde): undefined reference to `__gmpf_init' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0xf7): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sqrt' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x11a): undefined reference to `__gmpf_inits' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x13a): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x15a): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sub' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x17a): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sub' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x1a1): undefined reference to `__gmpf_clears' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x1da): undefined reference to `__gmpf_inits' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x21d): undefined reference to `__gmpf_inits' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x236): undefined reference to `__gmpf_set' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x266): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x286): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x2a6): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x2c6): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x2e6): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sub' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x2ff): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sqrt' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x318): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sqrt' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x338): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sub' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x358): undefined reference to `__gmpf_add' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x378): undefined reference to `__gmpf_div' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x398): undefined reference to `__gmpf_add' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x3b1): undefined reference to `__gmpf_set' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x3d1): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x3f1): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x411): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x431): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x451): undefined reference to `__gmpf_add' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x471): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x491): undefined reference to `__gmpf_mul' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x4b1): undefined reference to `__gmpf_sub' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x511): undefined reference to `__gmpf_clears' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x53c): undefined reference to `__gmpf_clears' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x54b): undefined reference to `__gmpf_init' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x56b): undefined reference to `__gmpf_div' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x5a6): undefined reference to `__gmpf_get_str' BigPi.cpp:(.text+0x706): undefined reference to `__gmpf_clears' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I get the impression that in this faulty configuration of mine, the link between mpf_ functions and the underlying gmp functions is broken. But I don't know how to fix it. Strangely enough, I tried to compile this same cpp program on a different computer running Mac OS (High Sierra on an Intel 4th gen. i5 CPU) with mpir package installed (also by me) and it was successful. I was also able to run it and get the correct results for, yes you guessed it, a million digits of pi. So this leads me to believe somehow mpir was configured/installed/built differently on my Ubuntu and my Mac OS even though I used the same exact configure command ./configure --with-yasm=/usr/local/bin/yasm --enable-cxx Please help me resolve the issue. My Mac OS is a desktop and I can't carry it around with me to school. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
