Description Squee3P0 2011-10-23 06:54:53 UTC

The makefile that Netbeans is producing doesn't work with g++4.6.  Netbeans is putting the link options in the wrong place.  For example, netbeans currently produces:

g++ -lglut main.cpp

which gives the error:  undefined reference to `glutInit'

The correct order is:

g++ main.cpp -lglut

which builds with no errors.  This problem doesn't seem to occur with older versions of g++, and I discovered this error after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 and installing the newest versions of g++ and Netbeans.  Unless there is a way to change this behavior which I am unaware of, this is making it impossible for me to use Netbeans with my current system configuration if I want to use anything other than the standard c++ libraries.

You can use Build > Linker > Libraries > Add Option... > Other Option instead of Build > Linker > Additional Options

Hi Squee3P0!

Valery is right that the proper way to configure libraries-related options is to use Linker->Libraries... dialog.

So you just need to use this way.

From the other side this obviously shows that we have a usability problem and need to re-view the approach of specifying compiler flags... I will file a low-priority issue for this. 

So, again, to make it slightly clearer - in current version - Additional Options - are prepended  to the command-line and library-options are appended to it...

Thanks for the help, that worked.  It's just strange that it worked in older versions.
