So I wrote this glut program a while back and it compiled fine with cc in os x (and it still does in bloodshed on windows), but recently I tried to recompile it and it fails saying:
"
/usr/bin/ld: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined symbols
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
___throw
"

and I eventually traced it back to a 'new' statement instantiating a class.

Anyone else see this? Or know how I can undo whatever the last update to the developer tools was safely?

Are you compiling with the "c++" command, not the "cc" command?

cc has the c++ compiler integrated - it uses a c / c++ / obj-c compiler based on the file name extension.

To be sure though, I tried it with with the straight 'c++' compiler and got the same error.

Thanks for the reply though.

/usr/bin/ld: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined symbols
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
___throw

If 'throw' is undefined, perhaps you don't have exception handling enabled?

Try compiling with <font face = "courier">c++ -fhandle-exceptions</font>

I tried that but it didn't work either. It said:
"cc1plus: warning: -fhandle-exceptions has been renamed to -fexceptions (and is now on by default)
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
___throw
"

Has anyone else seen this error or should I just reinstall the dev tools?

Have you tried retyping the line? I think I got the same error, and it was because I kept the option key down while typing a space. For example, if you type cout «« "Hello World\n" and keep the option key down after typing the second «, then this won't compile.

I ended up reinstalling the dev tools and it fixed the problem. I guess some library must have gotten screwed up or something.

Thanks for all the suggestions though.
