Problem linking with libs using eclipse

Known Issue

• [ ] I'm using ATS data type endpoint: the endpoint should look like <prefix>-ats.iot.<region>.amazonaws.com

Platform/OS/Device Linux Mint 20

Describe the question I have build the sdk as per the instructions (https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2/blob/master/README.md) and am trying to use the static libs (libaws-crt-cpp.a, etc) in a test application using eclipse ide. It compiles fine however when it come to linking I get many "unresolved" errors i.e

"/usr/bin/ld: /home/build/eclipse-workspace/awsiot-test/sdk-cpp-workspace/lib/libaws-crt-cpp.a(Types.cpp.o): in function Aws::Crt::Base64Decode(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, Aws::Crt::StlAllocator<char> > const&)': /home/build/eclipse-workspace/awsiot-test/sdk-cpp-workspace/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2/crt/aws-crt-cpp/source/Types.cpp:57: undefined reference toaws_base64_compute_decoded_len'"

Here is the sample c++ project created in eclipse - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_fgA5gx9jYuIB4Z_jhaRA2UKLv4s58wQ/view?usp=sharing

I may have done something really stupid so forgive me but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Alaric

Have you been able to get the basic_pub_sub working while using eclipse?

[identisoft-alaric]

Hi jmklix, Thanks for the reply, unfortunately we haven't yet.

You should be able to get the basic_pub_sub working with just the command line and I recommend that you do that first. As far as ide's go eclipse is not the best. Maybe try VSCode?

OK, thought I'd try AWS libs but will go back to using the mosquitto c libs which we have used in previous projects. Thanx.
