I'm following the cpp tutorial on google protocol buffers <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/cpptutorial> and am trying to run the example code.
I successfully installed Google Protocol Buffers on Ubuntu and compiled the .proto file so I got the pb.h and pb.cc generated files. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bajotUc3OY0/V4wJIea68bI/AAAAAAAAApk/bdTPf063eFwqDoEG0amsVU1ghyN1nWZIACLcB/s1600/temp1.png> ReadAddressBook.cpp is the main c++ file that uses Google Protocol Buffers and I made it very minimal: #include <iostream>#include <fstream>#include <string>#include "address_book.pb.h"using namespace std; int main(){ GOOGLE_PROTOBUF_VERIFY_VERSION; tutorial::AddressBook address_book; cout << "Created Object"; return 0;} Now using g++ I want to run this. The tutorial never mentioned actually how to compile and link these files beyond generating the pb.cc and ph.h files. So I wrote the commands: g++ -l /home/{usr}/local/include -L /home/{usr}/local/lib ReadAddressBook.cpp address_book.pb.cc -lprotobuf -pthread g++ -c ReadAddressBook.cpp g++ -o ReadAddressBook ReadAddressBook.o And got the error messages: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3nAqGWE0xEw/V4wLVuiaSbI/AAAAAAAAAp0/_-rRpcC6d4csMD2nLE93b1XuVdjO_PMPgCLcB/s1600/temp2.png> Undefined reference to 'google::protobuf::internal' and ect.. How do I link these libraries? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
