undefined reference to shm_open

[kmod]

I get a couple of these errors when linking the final executable:

$ g++ -pthread   -lrt   -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python Programs/python.o libpython3.8_static.a -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl  -lutil -lm   -lm 
/usr/bin/ld: libpython3.8_static.a(virtmem.o): in function `asmjit::VirtMem_openAnonymousMemory(int*, bool) [clone .part.0]':
/home/kmod/cinder/ThirdParty/asmjit/src/asmjit/core/virtmem.cpp:330: undefined reference to `shm_open'
/usr/bin/ld: /home/kmod/cinder/ThirdParty/asmjit/src/asmjit/core/virtmem.cpp:332: undefined reference to `shm_unlink'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Adding -lrt to the makefile LIBS variable solved this for me. This is on Ubuntu 20.04.

Are you able to run oss-build-and-test.sh ? If you are what is the output of that?

[kmod]

Same issue:

Maybe I can help with this issue. I've got a similar problem and I think I fixed by doing some changes to the Makefile.pre.in:

After applying the changes, I did a make distclean && ./configure && make -j.

The problem is that the -lrt is been added at the start of the g++ command (i.e., g++ -pthread -lrt ...) but it should appear near the end.

I'm sorry I don't have the time to make a proper PR and to find out if this really fixes the build on Ubuntu 20.04 (as some modules apparently still can't be build and I don't know if it is related to my changes or they couldn't be build from the start) but it's progress :-)

It would also be possible to define ASMJIT_NO_JIT (ironic name I know) to disable JitRuntime & VirtMem on AsmJit side if Cinder uses its own virtual memory management.
