Undefined references when linking gsl library in eclipse

Question

I'm trying to link an open source project that uses GSL and I get undefined references in libgsl. I'm using eclipse and I've added -lgslcblas -lgsl to the libraries setting. What am I missing?

我找到了解决方案：显然库的顺序很重要：-lgsl -lgslcblas有效。

Answer 2

Potentially, there are lots of things that could be wrong here.

1. Have you made sure that you've added the libraries properly in Eclipse? For instance, you shouldn't specify -lgsl in Paths and Symbols -> Libraries . Eclipse adds the preceding -l itself so all you specify is gsl .
2. Have you added the library paths in the build variant that you're actually trying to run? You may, for instance, have specified library paths only for the Debug variant when you're trying to get a Release variant build going.

Alternatively, (and this is really just a guess), it's reasonably common for scientific libraries to allow you to use an external version of BLAS. Sometimes their configuration settings even insist on external BLAS as a default. Does passing -lcblas as a link option help out with these errors?
