Unable to link Intel MKL - blas

I'm unable to link my program correctly. I use the following command line, but get an error.
g++ -I/home/blah/intel/composerxe/mkl/include dotProduct.cpp /home/blah/intel/composerxe/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_core.a
The output is this:
/tmp/ccvw6w13.o: In function `main':
dotProduct.cpp:(.text+0x108): undefined reference to `cblas_sdot'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I also tried running a script that tries to link one by one against all .a files, but they all fail. Can anybody please suggest a solution.
Thanks.

Here's a KB article from Intel:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-intel-mkl-for-linux-linking-applications-with-intel-mkl-version-100/
On a side note, if you can use Intel compiler instead of gcc, this works (at least it does for me):
icpc files -mkl
Notice there's no l in front, it's just -mkl.

Mismatch between IDs from minidump_stalkwalk and dump_syms

I am trying to use google breakpad, but I am facing a strange issue.
i am working in linux. I have my own library, my_lib.so, which I process with dump_syms and generates this symbol :
$ dump_syms my_lib.so|head -2
MODULE Linux mips 3BB485681467218D36EB2FF02287096C0 my_lib.so
INFO CODE_ID 6885B43B67148D2136EB2FF02287096C
I create the symbols directory with the appropiate subdirectories. I then generate a minidump for the program that uses a stripped version of my_lib.so, but when I try to process it with minidump_stackwalk:
0x77dce000 - 0x77e23fff my_lib.so ??? (WARNING: No symbols, my_lib.so, AC40136B433E5A68F66CCE8C2C2E6C250)
It is seaching for a differente ID, AC40136B433E5A68F66CCE8C2C2E6C250, so it does not find the symbols. Why the mismatch?
Knowing that it searches for AC40136B433E5A68F66CCE8C2C2E6C250 I manually changed the tree directory in symbols, to match that one, just to test. I also changed the id inside the my_lib.so.sym file, and then minidump_stalkwalk does not complain about not finding the symbols, but still I can't see the stack trace.
Any ideas about this mismatch?
by the way, if I run readelf -n over the original library and the stripped one, I get the same GNU BUILD ID.

I have opened .xcworkspace and when run application am getting clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

don't worry, just xcode bug. try clean and build and it will work, or better, go to xcode->preferences->location->Derived Data. delete all files inside derived data and then restart xcode. clean and build the project and then it will work perfectly
ps: updated for cleaning

Means that you have loaded same functions twice. As the issue disappear after removing -ObjC from Other Linker Flags, this means that this option result that functions loads twice:
from Technical Q&A
This flag causes the linker to load every object file in the library
that defines an Objective-C class or category. While this option will
typically result in a larger executable (due to additional object code
loaded into the application), it will allow the successful creation of
effective Objective-C static libraries that contain categories on
existing classes.

undefined reference to `zgesvd_' - BLAS issues in C compilation

I am having an issue with the LAPACK/BLAS libraries when compiling a C code that needs them.
The issues are, when I run "make", I get:
file.c:(.text+0x1c41): undefined reference to `zgesvd_'
file.c:(.text+0x1c9c): undefined reference to `zgetrf_'
../file.a(SpatialOrientation.o): In function `myfunction.c':myfunction.c:(.text+0x7be): undefined reference to `dsyev_'
And several other such lines, all referring to similar missing references.
I have chased this error down to being something to do with BLAS. I followed the directions given at this excellent link for installing BLAS and put the relevant directory on the path. I also changed my Makefile accordingly to find these libraries.
Any help on this issue would be really appreciated!
Just to update, I recently installed itpp as well, also following the instructional here, since it seemed my missing references were linked to that. No changes so far...
Thanks for your help!
The problem is solved! Hooray! I just danced around my office...
For those who have the same problem, here is what I did:
1) Follow the instructions given here to make the lapack and blas libraries. To paraphrase, for a scientific Linux 6 machine, they are:
wget http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack.tgz
tar xvzf lapack.tgz
cd lapack-3.3.0 //if version number changes, change here to the right directory
mv make.inc.example make.inc
2) Then (important bit, also recommended here):
edit make.inc and add -m64 -fPIC flag to fortran compiler options: FORTRAN, OPTS, NOOPT, LOADER
Then
make blaslib
make
Now, what you have is, in /lapack-3.6.1 (or whatever your directory is called after this process), two files:
librefblas.a , and liblapack.a.
3) The next thing I did was to copy librefblas.a and liblapack.a into some subdirectories - i.e. /lib/liblapack for liblapack.a and /lib/libblas for librefblas.a
4) Then, put those directories in your makefile, like this:
LIBDIR1 = /path/lib/lapack
LIBDIR2 = /path/lib/blas
LIBS = -L$(LIBDIR1) -llapack -L$(LIBDIR2) -lblas $(SYSLIBS)
LIBSMPI = -L$(LIBDIR1) -llapack -L$(LIBDIR2) -lblas $(MPILIBS) $(SYSLIBS)
I also added /path/lib/lapack and /path/lib/blas onto my LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and PATH, just-in-case...)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/lib/lapack:/path/lib/blas
export PATH=$PATH:/path/lib/lapack:/path/lib/blas
Then, go to wherever you Makefile is, and type
make
Yay yay yay!
By the way, with the latest version of lapack and blas, obtained in step 1), I compiled with gcc version 5.1.0 and the corresponding mpicc (openmpi 1.10.2).
Hope this helps someone else and shares the absolute delight.

How to link with chart director library with mingw

I am trying to build an application under mingw with Chart Director. My code compiles fine, but I get undefined reference errors from the linker.
The object file needs to link with ../ChartDirector.cpp/lib/chartdir51.lib
I have renamed this file to ../ChartDirector.cpp/lib/libchartdir51.a If I do not do this the linker cannot find it.
The result is:
mingw32-g++.exe -LJ:\wxWidgets-3.0.1\lib\gcc481TDM_dll
-L..\ChartDirector_cpp\lib -o ..\bin\plot.exe obj\Debug\plot.o
-lwxbase30u -lwxmsw30u_core -lchartdir51 -mwindows
obj\Debug\plot.o: In function `ZN3BoxC2EP11BoxInternal':
C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\plot/../ChartDirector_cpp/include/chartdir.h:804:
undefined reference to `Box2DrawObj'
obj\Debug\plot.o: In function `ZN7TextBoxC1EP15TextBoxInternal':
C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\plot/../ChartDirector_cpp/include/chartdir.h:832:
undefined reference to `TextBox2Box'
... and so on
To make things simpler, I changed to trying to build the simplebar demo application supplied by Chart Director. The build command now looks like this:
mingw32-g++.exe
C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\test\simplebar.cpp
-IC:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\ChartDirector_cpp\include
-o C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\bin\test.exe
-LC:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\ChartDirector_cpp\lib\
-lchartdir51
I still have the same undefineds.
Following this recipe I created a def file looking like this
EXPORTS
Box2DrawObj
TextBox2Box
CBaseChart_destroy
CBaseChart_makeChart
CAxis_setLabels
BarLayer2Layer
CXYChart_create
XYChart2BaseChart
CXYChart_xAxis
CXYChart_setPlotArea
CXYChart_addBarLayer
and used the dlltool to create a new libchartdir51.a
dlltool -d C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\ChartDirector_cpp\lib\chartdir.def
-l C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\ChartDirector_cpp\lib\libchartdir51.a
Well that fixed the undefined I saw before, but now I am getting something even more mysterious:
C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\ChartDirector_cpp\lib/libchartdir51.a(diaybs00001.o):(.idata$7+0x
0):
undefined reference to `_head_C__Users_James_Documents_code_vase_ChartDirector_cpp_lib_libchartd
ir51_a'
C:\Users\James\Documents\code\vase\ChartDirector_cpp\lib/libchartdir51.a(diaybs00009.o):(.idata$7+0x
0): undefined reference to `_head_C__Users_James_Documents_code_vase_ChartDirector_cpp_lib_libchartd
ir51_a'
... and so on
I tried downloading the linux version of chartdir. The result was:
mingw32-g++.exe
C:\Users\James\Downloads\ChartDirector\cppdemo\simplebar\simplebar.cpp
-IC:\Users\James\Downloads\ChartDirector\include
-o C:\Users\James\code\vase\bin\test.exe
C:\Users\James\Downloads\ChartDirector\lib\libchartdir.so.5.1.0
C:\Users\James\Downloads\ChartDirector\lib\libchartdir.so.5.1.0:
could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The problem was that I was trying to build with a 64 bit version of ChartDirector on a 32 bit mingw. Downloading the 32 bit library fixes the problem:
mingw32-g++
C:\Users\James\Downloads\chartdir_cpp_win32\ChartDirector\cppdemo\simplebar\simplebar.cpp
-IC:\Users\Jam es\Downloads\chartdir_cpp_win32\ChartDirector\include
-o C:\Users\James\code\vase\bin\test2.exe
-C:\Users\James\Downloads\chartdir_cpp_win32\ChartDirector\lib\chartdir51.dll
Normally undefined reference errors comes when the libs are not matching. Always get the latest libs from ChartDirector download page.

Missing something in arm g++

I installed the CodeSourcery g++ toolchain and tried to compile a simple hello world program:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
}
And got a lot of errors from the linker

What library am I missing here?
The GCC toolchain is only half of what you need to create a working executable*. The other half is the runtime library. The runtime includes crt0.o, which contains the entry point (the code that calls main()), and generally a libc that contains the standard C functions (strcmp(), memcpy(), etc) as well as the system calls (open(), read(), and others). You need to find a source for these. If you're targeting an embedded Linux or BSD machine, you'll have to find out what libc your target is using. It's probably either GNU libc, BSD libc, newlib, or uclibc. You can get these and build them yourself, or they may be available already with your OS.
*unless you're building a freestanding binary, but this doesn't look to be what you're doing.
Basing on the cross compiler it appears that end target is bare metal. The default gcc libraries (OS dependent) will not work here. You can use the NewlibC or NewlibC-Nano. This generally will be shipped along with the cross compiler tool chain.
Look for lib folder which has precompiled NewlibC.
Once that is done,
This statement might help you to an extent.
arm-none-eabi-gcc --specs=rdimon.specs \
-Wl,--start-group -lgcc -lc -lc -lm -lrdimon -Wl,--end-group $(OTHER_OPTIONS)
Don't forget to provide the path of looking the libraries -L(path).
I had this same problem.
It turns out there are a handful of options you can send to the linker to make it start working, but the one that had the least splash damage in my code base was
-nostartfiles
