We received some libraries (.a) compiled for linux (probably compiled with GCC 6.x).
We are using GCC 4.8 and we are getting the error of the type:
undefined reference to std::__cxx11::basic_string when trying to link.
Normally this could be fixed by making sure all units have been compiled with the same _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI flag.
However if I understood correctly, this was introduced by GCC 5.1 and on.
- Is there a way to make this work with GCC 4.8 or do we need to ask the people to recompile the libraries with a different
_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI? - I guess if we are able to switch to GCC >= 5.1 we can make this work?
Thanks!
