[Gdal-dev] Problems Linking to the gdal

[Daniel Mac]

Hello, I am relatively new to this board, so please forgive if this question
has been answered, or if I went about the wrong way to post a question...

Im having trouble linking to the GDAL libraries.  I've downloaded and built
GDAL (1.1.9, 1.2.0, 1.2.0b, I've tried em all) for Solaris 2.8 using gcc and
gnumake...however, I am using the latest version of Sun Forte CC to build my
application, and when I try to link to the GDAL libraries (libgdal.a,
libgdal.so), I get the following error:

ild: (undefined symbol) GDALRasterBand*GDALDataset::GetRasterBand(int) --
referenced in the text segment of
/home/Projects/Deployment/Tencap/lib/SunOS-5.8//libTencap.a(_DTEDReader.o)
ild: (undefined symbol) void GDALRasterBand::GetBlockSize(int*,int*) --
referenced in the text segment of
/home/Projects/Deployment/Tencap/lib/SunOS-5.8//libTencap.a(_DTEDReader.o)
ild: (undefined symbol) int GDALRasterBand::GetYSize() -- referenced in the
text segment of
/home/jhughes/ElanTech/Projects/Deployment/Tencap/lib/SunOS-5.8//libTencap.a
(_DTEDReader.o)
ild: (undefined symbol) int GDALRasterBand::GetXSize() -- referenced in the
text segment of
/home/Projects/Deployment/Tencap/lib/SunOS-5.8//libTencap.a(_DTEDReader.o)
ild: (undefined symbol) int GDALDataset::GetRasterYSize() -- referenced in
the text segment of
/home/Projects/Deployment/Tencap/lib/SunOS-5.8//libTencap.a(_DTEDReader.o)
ild: (undefined symbol) OGRLinearRing::OGRLinearRing() -- referenced in the
text segment of
/home/Projects/Deployment/Tencap/lib/SunOS-5.8//libTencap.a(_FeatureReader.o
) 
...(there are more, but all the same...undefined symbol)...

I know they are defined in libgdal (via the nm -Ao command in solaris), but
they just aren't linking...

Question 1:  Ive tried to build GDAL with Sun Forte CC, only to run into
loads of problems; is there a proper way to build GDAL using Sun Forte CC
(required flags, settings at ./configure command, etc.?)

Question 2:  I've heard of incompatibilities between CC and gcc/g++; could
this problem just be a case of incompatibility??  If so, then any help in
building GDAL using CC would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for all of your help in advance
