| Summary | 0033319: Coding - Static linking fails with unresolved symbols due to linking order and missing transitive dependencies | ||||
| Description | The absence of target_link_libraries calls for static libraries caused CMake to fail in modeling the link dependencies correctly. This fix ensures that CMake correctly exports the dependencies in OpenCASCADEConfig.cmake and resolves downstream linking errors for projects that link against static OpenCASCADE libraries. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Perform a static cmake build of opencascade on linux:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opencascade-install -DBUILD_LIBRARY_TYPE Static ${OCCT_SOURCE_DIR} && make -j install
Build a downstream cmake project which links against OpenCASCADE, e.g.:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(DownstreamProject)
# Find the OpenCASCADE package
find_package(OpenCASCADE REQUIRED)
# Add the executable for the downstream project
add_executable(downstream_project main.cpp)
# Link the OpenCASCADE libraries
target_link_libraries(downstream_project PRIVATE ${OpenCASCADE_LIBRARIES})
cd downstream_project mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opencascade-install .. make | ||||

Dear @reciprocal Can you update "src/ExpToCasExe/EXTERNLIB" with newline in the end of the file? And can you share more information about compiler(version)? And if it is possible, update commiter's name with you profile name - reciprocal? As for a commit message, please use the next template <summary> [ // recommended to add <empty line> <description> ] So, the result is: 0033319: Coding - Static linking fails with unresolved symbols due to linking order Updated external libs of ExpToCas with threads dependensies Reorder ExpToCas external libs to fix problem with searching symbols |

Hi dpasukhi, thanks for your input. Is OCCT:Coding in fact the right category? I couldn't find any category related to the build system. The real issue for the static linking problems under cmake was that link dependencies for static libraries were not being added at all in the cmake build. To correctly export OpenCascadeTargets.cmake and allow for downstream projects to correctly link the static version of OpenCascade, it is crucial to model these dependencies. Many of the libraries listed in MODULES become redundant if the dependencies are modeled correctly, as they are actually transitive dependencies. Do you know how WOK / genproj handles transitive dependencies? Should I leave my modifications in for the genproj case? It is unclear if genproj can model transitive dependencies, but it it can, that raises the question of why they were added to MODULES in the first place. |

btw, compiler was gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, but static linking behaviour has not changed since ... i don't know ... decades, so I am pretty sure it is not limited to a specific version or even compiler (I'm guessing the clang linker shows the same behaviour). |

Dear @reciprocal. Thank you for your investigation. The transitive dependencies are not linking. Thank you for compiler info. It is necessary to reproducing. The problem look very strange. The removing linking is a bug. We need to analyze it. As for a commit, please update first line of the commit message with the equal name with summary of the ticket. And it would be nice to update the name of the commiter to the same with your nickname (reciprocal). Updating occt_toolkit.cmake is very responsible thing. We need to check from our side all conditions of the changing. |
|
|
As for a ExpToCasExe it will be removed from the XDE package and moved to the own module the same with tool module. And it will be not build by default. |

Dear @reciprocal. What plan with current ticket? You plan to do it by yourself? Or awaiting for review from our side? Or you assign current ticket to us? |

Hi @dpasukhi, sorry, this got lost by the wayside. As this issue is still present in current OpenCascade (7.8.1), I have rebased the PR on V7_8_1, and would appreciate if the PR could be reviewed/merged. |
|
|
@reciprocal Thank you. I lost this ticket too :( Yes, for sure I will try to process this ticket. Currently we updating CMake, but you changes useful) As for a rebasing, better to use master. We have 2 way of versioning: dev and no dev. Master - dev version, tag that have no _0 at the end are just maintained and created on maintained release time as a cherry picks from master only safety changes. |
