[gmx-users] How to compile C++ propgram with xdrfile library?

[Semen Esilevsky]

Well, it seems that changing all bools to ints doesn't help. It still work with C but not with C++.
I changed bools to ints  and recompiled the library.
Then I copied xdrfile_c_test.c, headers and the recompiled library to the separate directory.

gcc -c  xdrfile_c_test.c
gcc  xdrfile_c_test.o  libxdrfile.a -lm

After that I have functional text program. 
Now, I tried to make a test with C++ with this simplest program:


#include "xdrfile.h"
#include "xdrfile_xtc.h"
int main(){
 XDRFILE* xd = xdrfile_open("a.xtc","r");
 int n;
 read_xtc_natoms("a.xtc",&n);
}

g++  -c test.cpp    //Works fine
g++  test.o  libxdrfile.a

test.o: In function `main':
test.cpp:(.text+0x38): undefined reference to `read_xtc_natoms(char*, int*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I'm completely and absolutely lost now... Any ideas?
