C/C++ Unable to get the executable to link to the recently built shared library

./gradlew libhbase-jni produces the share library *.o files ./gradlew libhbase_test failes with the

[...]

  FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
  * What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':linkLibhbase_testExecutable'.
> Linker failed; see the error output for details.

When I add what I think is correct:

/*
 * libhbase_test executable
 */
executables {
    libhbase_test {
        binaries.all {
            lib 'libraries.libhbase-jni.shared'
            cCompiler.args "-std=gnu99"
        }
    }
}

The build fails with the error:

> Not a valid type for a library dependency: libraries.libhbase-jni.shared

What am I missing?

The string ‘libraries.libhbase-jni.shared’ is not a valid way to specify a dependency.

1) Your first option is to supply a library reference directly. The following are equivalent:

lib libraries.LIBRARY_NAME // shared is the default linkage lib libraries.LIBRARY_NAME.shared lib libraries.‘LIBRARY_NAME’.shared lib libraries[‘LIBRARY_NAME’].shared
Note that the last 2 may be necessary since your library has a dash in it’s name, making the first 2 invalid groovy code.

2) The other (and possibly better) option is to use a dependency notation instead of an object reference.
lib library: ‘libhbase-jni’ // shared is the default linkage lib library: ‘libhbase-jni’, linkage: ‘shared’
3

In Gradle version 1.10-rc-1, both examples in option #2 failed with the same “Not a valid type for a library dependency …” error.

However, the last two examples in option #1 worked like a charm.

Thank you.

Yep. I’d strongly suggest that you track a nightly build when using the C++ stuff. It’s such a rapidly moving target that it’s tough to provide support for older versions…

http://www.gradle.org/nightly describes how to configure your wrapper for a nightly build.

Sage advice. Thank you.

I’m posting this solution for others that may be looking for C/C++ examples.
