[sword-devel] Latest SWORD trunk / Linking error/Missingsymbol:sword::InstallMgr::userDisclaimerConfirmed

[Tobias Klein]

I tried to fix this by setting the CMake variable  CMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS=TRUE
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.4/prop_tgt/WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS.html

But that didn’t help! I still get the same linker issue.

However, in the above linked Cmake help it says: For global data symbols, __declspec(dllimport) must still be used when compiling against the code in the .dll. All other function symbols will be automatically exported and imported by callers.

Aren’t we dealing with a „global data symbol“ in this case?

I’m still having the same issue with the latest SWORD trunk when linking on Windows.

Since this wasn’t an issue with SWORD trunk from May (SVN Rev. 3747), is there a way to fix this in SWORD?

Best regards,
Tobias

This occurred to me when building automatically via GitHub actions and that is always a full-rebuild.

I had this problem also in the past with manual Windows builds and the work-around was to “re-declare” the respective symbol in the software that links against Sword. I already had this issue before with sword::SWBuf::nullStr:

#if defined(_WIN32)
// For some reason this symbol is missing in the sword.dll on Windows, hence we include it here.
char * sword::SWBuf::nullStr = (char *)"";
#endif

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
This did receive a bit of a reorganization, but the symbol is declared in include/installmgr.h:97 and is initialized with the other statics in installmgr.cpp:75.
Have you tried a full rebuild?
Is anyone else having linking troubles?
Troy

Hi,
 
With the latest SWORD trunk I’m getting the following linking error:
 
Creating library D:\a\ezra-project\ezra-project\node_modules\node-sword-interface\build\Release\node_sword_interface.lib and object D:\a\ezra-project\ezra-project\node_modules\node-sword-interface\build\Release\node_sword_interface.exp
repository_interface.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static bool sword::InstallMgr::userDisclaimerConfirmed" (?userDisclaimerConfirmed at InstallMgr@sword@@2_NA) [D:\a\ezra-project\ezra-project\node_modules\node-sword-interface\build\node_sword_interface.vcxproj]
 
The symbol sword::InstallMgr::userDisclaimerConfirmed is missing in the generated SWORD dll. Did something recently change regarding this symbol or how it is included in the build (based on CMake and Visual Studio 2019)?
 
Best regards,
Tobias
