问题
I'm getting undefined reference to dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5 even after linking it before and after the libraries. However in the linking output it appears that it's linking just before, but linking before all libraries should work, I guess.

This is how I'm linking it in CMake:
add_executable(http_downloader http_downloader_cli.cpp SimpleOpenVPNSocket.cpp)
add_core_dependencies(http_downloader)
target_include_directories(http_downloader PUBLIC ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/downloader/include)
add_dependencies(http_downloader http_downloader_cli http_downloader_lib openvpn_lib smoltcp_cpp tins)
set_property(TARGET http_downloader PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 17)
target_link_libraries(http_downloader dl http_downloader_cli http_downloader_lib openvpn_lib smoltcp_cpp tins dl)
As you can see I've put dl before and after everything just to make sure.
If I understand correctly, .a libs do not have dependencies, they only have missing symbols and we have to fill them. Seems like I'm doing that by linking with -ldl
回答1:
Would you inspect carefully the actual command line used for linking, you will find that after libsmoltcp_cpp_interface_rust.a, which has missed symbol, there is no -ldl parameter.
It seems that in your case smoltcp_cpp is an IMPORTED library target, which has libsmoltcp_cpp_interface_rust.a as a link dependency (not as IMPORTED_LOCATION property or so).
While CMake preserves order of the libraries, linked into a single binary (an or another library), order between dependencies of these libraries is not defined.
You need to add -ldl as a link dependency for the smoltcp_cpp target itself:
target_link_libraries(smoltcp_cpp INTERFACE -ldl)
However, this will work only if libsmoltcp_cpp_interface_rust.a is a direct link dependency for smoltcp_cpp target, that is specified as
target_link_libraries(smoltcp_cpp INTERFACE libsmoltcp_cpp_interface_rust.a)
In case of indirect dependencies, like
target_link_libraries(smoltcp_cpp INTERFACE <intermediate-target>)
target_link_libraries(<intermediate-target> INTERFACE libsmoltcp_cpp_interface_rust.a)
you need to add -ldl as a dependency for that <intermediate-target>.
Ideally, every IMPORTED target should be self-contained, so you may safely link with that target without knowing its internals.
