undefined reference to `fLI::FLAGS_v’

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On Ubuntu Linux or Snow Leopard, build and `make install' the required 
libraries and scons;
2. Build server1 by simply typing path/scons in the source dir.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It complains 

  undefined reference to `fLI::FLAGS_v’

at everywhere VLOG() << was invoked.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

On Ubuntu Linux or Snow Leopard.

I got error messages when typing scons

This is caused by linking gflags and glog in the wrong order on the linker 
commandline. Try linking with "-lgflags -lglog" instead of "-lglog -lgflags".

I can't say why this happens, but in the glog code, when I build that, the 
namespace defined in src/base/commandlineflags.h when compiled into the 
libglog.so goes in as

namespace FLAG__namespace_do_not_use_directly_use_DECLARE_int32_instead { 
google::int32 FLAGS_v((!getenv("GLOG_" "v") ? (0) : strtol(getenv("GLOG_" "v"), 
__null, 10))); char FLAGS_nov; } using 
FLAG__namespace_do_not_use_directly_use_DECLARE_int32_instead::FLAGS_v;

and when I am trying to build the server1 RPC code, and the same code goes 
through the g++ when compiling the code there, I get the following:

namespace fLI { extern google::int32 FLAGS_v; } using fLI::FLAGS_v;

I played with compile options, I tried to use strace to see what g++ was doing 
etc, but I could not see why these two compiled differently.

Cheers

When I encoutered this problem it was due to the order in which glogs and 
gflags had been built. If you're using both, you need to build gflags first, 
then build glog. glog includes an IFDEF that will link in its own version of 
gflags if it's not found on the system. If you build with that, and then build 
gflags and run, you'll have issues.

I met the same error messages with yiwang(Yi.Wang.2005@gmail.com).
