Linking Newton at Dev-C++

[Auradrummer]

Hello All,

I'm facing some problems linking the Newton at Dev-C++.

I'm getting this error:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `dMatrix::RotateVector(dVector const&) const'

Someone knows what is causing this? I'm new at Dev-C++.

[Julio Jerez]

you have the source for those functions

[JernejL]

look around the sdk for these headers and code, it is all there.

[Auradrummer]

What I'm not understanding is that the RotateVector is inside dMatrix.h and i have included and using dMatrixes. Why only this function is with trouble?

In Linux I don't have those issues. This is the reason I'm a bit lost.

[Julio Jerez]

what is the exact error mmessage.

Why are you using Dev-C++? It stopped being developed over 4 years ago. Code::Blocks, Eclipse IDE or Visual Studio Express are all far better options.

[Auradrummer]

Julio,
is exactly this:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `dMatrix::RotateVector(dVector const&) const'

hpsoj:
Hey, this is serious. What you recommend me? I think Visual Studio is the better supported by Newton, right?

[hpesoj]

It's better supported in general, although I'm not saying your problem will be fixed by switching IDE (Code::Blocks and Eclipse also use the GCC compiler). I also used Dev-C++ when I was new to C++, but I quickly realised there are better alternatives.

Your problem is that the function RotateVector is not defined anywhere in your code, or in any libraries you are linking to. Have you added dMatrix.cpp to your project?

Hpesoj:

BINGO!
Solved and thank you!

I need a really light IDE to work with, because I'll use Newton at my class (I'm a teacher) and my school have some outdated machines. Do you have some idea what IDE can be used? I was informed that Visual Studio is a bit heavy.

[hpesoj]

Code::Blocks is also a fairly lightweight IDE, and you could also try out CodeLite (I've never used it, but it looks ok). I don't know how well Visual Studio will run on your machines, but the only way to find out is to give it a go.

If your machines are really slow, perhaps you will have to stick with Dev-C++. It's not the end of the world though.

[Auradrummer]

We made some tests at school with Dev-C++ and runs fine. We'll keep it, at least while it is usable.
Is better than one that they are using, the "Turbo C IDE". (I'm not sure if you were born when it was used ...)

[kallaspriit]

Do try Code::Blocks too, it is also lightweight and should have no problems running on mediocre hardware

I use Code::Blocks on my school machines via a USB drive.
