protected_fs Link Error

[AArya2]

I'm trying to use the SGX protected file system in my enclave. From my understanding, this is how it should be set up:

 1. Include `"sgx_tprotected_fs.h"` in enclave source.
 2. Import `"sgx_tprotected_fs.edl"` in the enclave description file.
 3. Link the appropriate version of `"sgx_uprotected_fs.lib"` with the host app and `"sgx_tprotected_fs.lib"` with the enclave (the latter I don't understand why considering `"sgx_tprotected_fs.edl"` has no ECALLs).

I've done all of these but I'm still getting link errors when building the host app.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the SDK?

Here is my error log:

Thank you!

I'd already followed the steps but had misspelled the library name. :)

Seems to be missing some Mutex classes... :-?

I couldn't figure out what I should link with my enclave for solving that.

[Juan_d_Intel]

What C++ standard library are you linking your enclave with?

[AArya2]

I didn't change any of the default configurations, so I'd assume the ones provided by the SGX SDK.

It's linking with "sgx_tstdc.lib" and "sgx_tcxx.lib". That should work, right?

[Juan_d_Intel · Accepted solution]

I might be wrong, but the error messages seem to refer to the stlport library.

Could you replace sgx_tcxx.lib with sgx_tstdcxx.lib?

[AArya2]

It worked! Thank you!

[Juan_d_Intel]

The SGX SDK 1.7 was meant to use the new C++ library, sgx_tcxx.lib, by default.

It looks like the protected fs library was misconfigured at build time. Consider the bug filed. :)
