IPP 8 legacy code sample link issue

[Mark_H_9]

Dear all

I am trying to build a linux speech codec program based on intel IPP 8 code samples.

My code is quite simple and only include "usc.h" and "usc_objects_decl.h"

The compile is successful, but when trying to do the link, I can't find the libspeech.a library

My question is how to static link my code with intel speech codec samples library?

I had stuck on this issue for several days, and not clues to complete the linkage job, and the code is very very important to me.

Thank you very much, Sir!

I built code samples followed by below steps:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

! winscp copy l_ipp_8.0.0.061.tgz to /tmp

cd /tmp
tar -zxvf l_ipp_8.0.0.061.tgz
cd l_ipp_8.0.0.061

setsebool allow_execmod on
setsebool allow_execstack on

./install.sh

setsebool allow_execmod off
setsebool allow_execstack off

source /opt/intel/ipp/bin/ippvars.sh intel64
!source /opt/intel/ipp/bin/ippvars.sh ia32

Hi Mark,

How do you link your application? Could you show the command line?

Regards,
Sergey

Hi Mark,

You can link the static library as the below two test cases. .  The libspeech.a is from old versions. ( archive all of *.a into speech.a).  The 8.0 use seperate codec, thus if you need one kind of codec (i.e g729fp), you can just link one libspeech_g729fp.a.

Best Regards,
Ying

Thank you very much, Sergey and Ying!

[Mark_H_9]

Hi Ying

I know how to link now.

[Sergey_K_Intel]

Hi Mark,

It can be a workaround. There should be no object files with the same names, so this extract/combine operation should be safe.

Otherwise, you need to experiment with command line to linker "g++ -static -o ...", specifying the required libraries with "-l" option.
BTW, there's something wrong with the linker command line. It must be

g++ -static -o main main.o Packets_Processing.o codec.o -L. -l$libspeech -L $ippdir $IPPLIB

i.e. "-l" (lower L) before $libspeech. Or, add "-l" to export command.

Regards,
Sergey

Hi Sergey

-L. followed with dir + filename ==== -L dir -l library-name

It at least works for g++.

Finally, I got my link working!

Thank you very much!
