Linking error about pdf-writer HOT 4 CLOSED

what makes you think it finds any symbol?
do either one of the following:

1. remove libPDFWriter.a and compile again. if you get the same errors...well it just doesn't find it
2. try using the cmake builds "https://github.com/galkahana/PDF-Writer/wiki/Building-and-running-samples#building-with-cmake". see if it fairs better. compare.

(1). If libPDFWriter.a is removed, it doesn't find any of the symbols. From 47 missing to 200+. Its finding the lib just fine, but unable to find some of the symbols. I'm not sure what makes them special. BTW, Shutdown() is another missing one and I do see this:
nm -m libPDFWriter.a | grep Shutdown
0000000000000d30 (__TEXT,__text) external __ZN9PDFWriter8ShutdownERKSs
0000000000004938 (__TEXT,__eh_frame) external __ZN9PDFWriter8ShutdownERKSs.eh

So it seems to be in the lib, but unable to find it for some reason. Weird.

(2). I'll take a look and see if I can try it.

k. see if cmake works. then maybe some of the files were missing during the compiling of libPDFWriter.a (like OutputFile), which makes less sense. what makes more sense is that libPDFWriter.a and PDFWriterTestPlayground are compiled using different settings around the definition of std::string, which would amount from compiling against different versions of stdlib. try matching the compilation settings, then.

Good call on the different settings. I'd recreated the Playground project and inadvertently carried over inconsistent compilation settings. Thanks.
