That is arguable correct, but things are a bit more complicated as: - libzerozmq is written in C++ and uses libstdc++ but exposes a C api - czmq is a higher level wrapper also written in C - Test program (czmq_selftest) is a C program linking against libczmq (and in term libzeromq) > * Or using gcc to link with a C++ library is correct, and in this > case, libzmq.pc should be fixed to include -lstdc++ in Libs.private. While this is correct, it is not directly related to this. Czmq doesn't use its own .pc file to know how to link the selftest program. Alternatively we can simply mark czmq !BR2_STATIC_LIBS. -- Venlig hilsen, Peter Korsgaard
