Linking problem: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZN5QJson13ParserPrivateC1Ev' about qjson

[flavio]

Please try again following these instructions.

[vsapronov]

What exactly I'm missing from instructions? Do you mean these lines?

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=...

[flavio]

Just the

mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make

part

I tried this - got the same error. Here's full output:

Ok, I see you are using Qt5.

Please provide the following details:

• which version of Qt5 have you installed?
• How did you install Qt5 (deb package from ppa)?
• Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
• What is your architecture?

[vsapronov]

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 x64. Qt is 5.0.1. As I mentioned I installed Qt SDK through package-manager (ubuntu-sdk). I noticed you recommended this ppa in bug 19. This ppa now says the phrase below. That's why I'm using ubuntu-sdk package.

== Ubuntu 13.04 ==
The PPAs are not necessarily needed anymore but are recommended to be left enabled for future updates. Ubuntu SDK and Qt 5.0.1 are now part of the Ubuntu 13.04 release. Just install 'ubuntu-sdk' package!

[flavio]

Ok, I'll take a look at it using a virtual machine.

[vsapronov]

Please, take a look. I have tried on my both work and home machines. Both the same Ubuntu 13.04 x64 and the same Qt SDK package (ubuntu-sdk). Both giving the same error.

[flavio]

This is a nasty bug, I've been able to reproduce it but I need some time to fix it.

[niwinz]

That version of compiller you have? (Ubuntu 13.xx seems to have gcc 4.7...)

I have like this error compiling other libs (written with qt5) with gcc < 4.8. Currently I am working on "some" shared library with qt5 and if I try compile one of my library with g++ 4.6 o 4.7 I get this error. But if I compile it with g++ 4.8 or clang 3.2, all works properly.

I tried to compile qjson with clang++ 3.2 or g++ 4.8 and compiles properly!
You can see compilation logs: http://dpaste.com/1208652/

This seems qt5 bug with "old compillers", not qjson bug.

Update: http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/307

[shumski]

Error is due to 'SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${Qt5Core_EXECUTABLE_COMPILE_FLAGS}")'
(and it is not needed)

[flavio]

@shumski thanks a lot. That works.

Fixed with 2765c55

What should I do ？
