Attempting a C++ binding to Haskell: getting undefined reference errors

Question

I am attempting a C++ binding in Haskell and running into "undefined reference" errors when calling the binding.

I've make a small project ( http://github.com/deech/CPlusPlusBindings ) to illustrate the problem. It includes a small C++ class, a C wrapper, a C test script and a Haskell binding and a test script. The C test script works, the Haskell one gives me:

  [1 of 1] Compiling Binding          ( dist/build/Binding.hs, dist/build/Binding.o )

     collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Running cabal configure , and cabal build will compile the C++ and C bindings and reproduce the error.

Update

I've solved the problem as outlined in the comment below. It appears I can't answer my own question, though.

Answer 1

community-wiki answer for future reference. The solution was to change the order the libraries were presented to the linker, by altering the cabal file like so.

include-dirs: ./c-src
ghc-options: -Wall -threaded -lHSCPlusPlusBinding-0.1.0.0 -lA_C -lA -lstdc++
