[LLVMdev] linker error (llvm-config, eclipse)

Hi,

I'm playing around with llvm and the Kaleidoscope tutorial and first of
all I have to say I'm really impressed. LLVM rocks!

Unfortunately I've now run into a linker error while trying to optimize
the IR or turn it to bitcode and likely due to my very limited
experience with c++ I just can't figure out how to resolve it.

The linker complains that the llvm::WriteBitcodeToFile function is
undefined, although I included llvm/Bitcode/ReaderWriter.h:

undefined reference to `llvm::WriteBitcodeToFile(llvm::Module const*,
std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)

I also get the same undefined reference error if I call the
llvm::createXXXPass and llvm::verifyXXX functions although I included
all the files like in the Kaleidoscope tutorial.

Everything else works fine though.

I'm compiling my project with gcc-4.2 and llvm-config with --libs all
and I'm using the RELEASE_22 tag from subversion and Eclipse CDT with
managed make (on Ubuntu 32bit).

This is the full command that's executed to link the project and its output:

g++-4.2 `/home/stefan/projects/llvm/Debug/bin/llvm-config --ldflags

reference to `llvm::WriteBitcodeToFile(llvm::Module const*,
std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&)'
collect2: ld gab 1 als Ende-Status zurück
make: *** [mojo] Fehler 1

What am I missing?

thanks in advance,

Stefan Oestreicher
