Problems building JOGL: [cc] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++

Hello,
I am brand new to JOGL.  I've been trying to build JOGL on Fedora 20, according to the instructions here:
http://jogamp.org/jogl/doc/HowToBuild.html 
No problems with gluegen.  jogl compiles but fails to link:
      [cc] Starting link
       [cc] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
       [cc] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I can't understand how this is possible; libstdc++.so is of course present in /usr/lib64, and the 32bit version in /usr/lib.
I hope someone can give me an idea what the cause of this is and how to fix.

Thanks,
Bob Shelby

N.B: Your problem probably doesn't come from JOGL itself. If you have a doubt, compile another C++ program.

Julien,
thanks for the reply.  So that forum post you link to suggests removing the 32 bit libs, which I'm loathe to do, since I have many packages that depend on the 32 bit library, and yum wants to remove them all.  However, I did temporarily move libstdc++.so.* out of /usr/lib and it did not fix my linking problem.
By the way, other C++ programs build with no problem linking to libstdc++.

Do you know JOGL and ant well enough to tell me where to add the correct -L(path to libstdc++)?

Thanks,
Bob Shelby

I compiled JOGL 2 under Fedora in 2011. Please remove the 32 bit libs, you can still reinstall them later and it would allow us to be sure that the problems come from that. I know that it's annoying but we can still look for a smarter solution later.

I have to leave, it's almost 1 o'clock in my country. Good luck.

OK, I removed the 32bit libstdc++:

[root@obsidian lib]# rpm -q libstdc++ libstdc++-devel
libstdc++-4.8.3-7.fc20.x86_64
libstdc++-4.8.3-7.fc20.i686
libstdc++-devel-4.8.3-7.fc20.x86_64
[root@obsidian lib]# rpm --nodeps -e libstdc++-4.8.3-7.fc20.i686
[root@obsidian lib]# rpm -q libstdc++ libstdc++-devel
libstdc++-4.8.3-7.fc20.x86_64
libstdc++-devel-4.8.3-7.fc20.x86_64

Subsequently running the build on JOGL produced the same result:

       [cc] Starting dependency analysis for 47 files.
       [cc] 47 files are up to date.
       [cc] 0 files to be recompiled from dependency analysis.
       [cc] 0 total files to be compiled.
       [cc] 0 total files to be compiled.
       [cc] Starting link
       [cc] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
       [cc] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

So it seems the presence of the 32bit libstdc++ is not the issue.  Something else is going on.

[1] Check whether a plain libstdc++.so is installed/avail.

On Debian, if installed the dev packages, e.g.
  libstdc++-4.9-dev:amd64
  lib32stdc++-4.9-dev

you will have the following standard symlinks:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/libstdc++.so -> ../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/32/libstdc++.so -> ../../../../../lib32/libstdc++.so.6

which allows usage of '-lstdc++' at compilation!

[2] Disable OVR:
  ant -Dc.build.oculusvr.skip=true ...

+++

Hope it helps.

Thanks Sven, your second suggestion to disable OVR allowed the build to complete successfully.

However, I think I do have the libstdc++.so in the correct place:

$ ll -d /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/libstdc++.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Sep 24 10:21 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/libstdc++.so -> ../../../../lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.19

So it still seems a puzzle.

Thanks,
Bob Shelby
