Building a script using matplot++ in visual studio code

[Szirenke]

Dear all,

I have successfully compiled the matplot++ lib on a m2 Mac and all the examples build well and can be run smoothly without any issue. This was reassuring. I wanted then use the the freshly compiled libmatplot.a lib and use it in a small vs code project where I have som other libs in the tasks.json file and added the the libmatplot.a as well. However started getting an error related tot he cimg_library and I am not sure what include into the tasks.json file. How do I link the libs correctly in the tasks.json file?

This is the error:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_TIFFClose", referenced from:
cimg_library::CImg::load_tiff(char const*, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, float*, cimg_library::CImg*) in libmatplot.a(common.cpp.o)

There are many of these and they all seems to originate from cimg_libraray and TIFF.

Thanks!

Hi,

I figured out that I have to link the the following libs:
"-lX11",
"-ltiff",
"-lpng",
"-ljpeg"

However the last remaining linking I am not sure about:

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_compress", referenced from:
cimg_library::CImgList::_save_cimg(__sFILE*, char const*, bool) const in libmatplot.a(common.cpp.o)
"_uncompress", referenced from:
cimg_library::CImgList::_load_cimg(__sFILE*, char const*) in libmatplot.a(common.cpp.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

Which libs have these two functions?

Thanks

ok, got it, it was the zlib -lz
