undefined reference to vtable

Tue Aug 10 19:55:00 GMT 2004

I'm writing a C++ program that calls a Java shared library. I'm seeing
undefined references to the vtable for a class defined using C++.
$ make
g++-3.4 -g -O2 -o HelloWorld HelloWorld.o -lswt -lswt-pi
HelloWorld.o(.text+0x136): In function `main':
/home/sjackman/work/hello/swt-cni/HelloWorld.cc:62: undefined reference to `java::lang::Object::Object()'
HelloWorld.o(.text+0x13e):/home/sjackman/work/hello/swt-cni/HelloWorld.cc:62: undefined reference to `vtable for ShellSelectionListener'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [HelloWorld] Error 1
I suspect this will be a rather obvious error on my part. In the mean
time, however, I'm stumped.
As an aside, I think it's positively amazing that it's so simple to
write an application in C++ that uses a library written in Java that
had no intention by the authors of ever being used in this manner.
Gcj is absolutely amazing work!
Thanks,
Shaun
