pthread_atfork link error with IPP

frenet — Tue, 03 May 2011 18:55:58 GMT

I am statically linking to the ipp, umc & uic libraries.I am using IPP 6.1.6.063 and have downloaded the 6.1 sample code. I am using g++.

I can build my own shared object that statically links to ipp and umc, but when I try to build an application that links to my shared object, I get the following link error:

/opt/intel/ipp/6.1.6.063/ia32/sharedlib/libiomp5.so: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'

I did see the following note in this article:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/how-to-build-ipp-application-in-linux-environment/

Error message: /opt/intel/ipp/6.0.0.045/em64t/sharedlib/libiomp5.so: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'

Please make sure to link "-lpthread" library in your command line.

I do have -lpthread specified, but the error still occurs. Here are my ipp library lists:

IPP_LIBS = "${IPP_DIR}/lib/libippdcemerged$(IPP_FILE_EXT).a" \\

"${UMC_AVCODEC_DIR}/_bin/linux$(IPP_LIB_ARCH)_/lib/libvm.a"

I have added -lpthread before any of the ipp, uic or umc library lists.

Can anyone tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Adding -lpthread to the application that links to my shared object fixes this. Is there any way to avoid this? Is there a way to link to pthread in my shared object without requiring users to link to pthread in their own applications?

This is resolved.

Listing -lpthread after the IPP libraries fixed this issue.

Hi,
Nice to know that it works fine, In Linux, linking order is very important.
