Hello GCC Experts, I am an engineer trying to run gcov for our unit tests. We have a couple of DLLs and a few static libraries. I am having trouble linking the Test program that links in the DLLs. I have the following in the Cmake files: IF( "${COVERAGE}" STREQUAL "TRUE" ) LINK_DIRECTORIES(/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( NWATest analytics TestUtils ${SYSTEM_LIBS} ) ENDIF( "${COVERAGE}" STREQUAL "TRUE" ) I have similar lines for all make files that create TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES. But I get the following errors: /bin/ld: NWATest: hidden symbol `__gcov_init' in /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/libgcc.a(_gcov.oS) is referenced by DSO COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I have not found ANY ONLINE documentation or solutions on message boards. Many Thanks. PLEASE SEE MORE INFO BELOW.
