Hi there,  
I’m a student trying to use Graphviz as an external library in my C project, using Windows. However, when I try to compile it, I receive undefined reference errors to the functions included in “gvc.h” and “cgraph.h”. For example, agread and gvContext.

Currently, I am only working on the Windows portion. Here is my Makefile:

```auto
.PHONY: all clean
#CFLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0`
#LDLIBS = `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0`
CFLAGS = -I"C:/Program Files/Graphviz/include/graphviz"
LDIR = -L"C:/Program Files/Graphviz/lib"
LIBS = -lgvc -lcgraph

binaries=sqlpsql
all: $(binaries)

sqlpsql: SQLP.c SQLPGrammar.y SQLPScanner.l SQLPtoSQL-main.c Preprocess.c Rules.c
   
ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT)
   win_bison -v -d SQLPGrammar.y
   win_flex --nounput -D SQLPGrammar SQLPScanner.l
   gcc -Wall -o sqlpsql SQLP.c SQLPtoSQL-main.c Preprocess.c Rules.c $(CFLAGS) $(LDIR) $(LIBS)
else
   bison -v -d SQLPGrammar.y
   flex --nounput -D SQLPGrammar SQLPScanner.l
   gcc -Wall SQLP.c SQLPtoSQL-main.c Preprocess.c Rules.c -o sqlpsql
   rm -f lex.yy.c SQLPGrammar.tab.c SQLPGrammar.tab.h
endif

clean:
   -rm -f *.o *.output $(binaries)

```

On my computer, the header files are in: C:/Program Files/Graphviz/include/graphviz  
The lib files are in: C:/Program Files/Graphviz/lib  
I have added both locations to the Makefile using the -I and -L tags, as above.

Along with a very simple main function invoking the two functions (in another file), here is my SQLP.c file:

```auto
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gvc.h>
#include <cgraph.h>
#include "SQLP.h"

void generate_graph(){
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("C:/Users/claud/Documents/UW/4A/Roseseed/test.dot", "w+");
    fputs("digraph ERD {\n", fp);
    fputs("graph [rankdir = \"LR\"];\n", fp);
    fputs("ranksep=2;\n", fp);
    fputs("\"SCOTT.DEPT\" [label=\"<SCOTT.DEPT> SCOTT.DEPT|<PK_DEPT>DEPTNO \\l |DNAME \\l LOC \\l \" shape = \"record\"];\n", fp);
    fputs("\"SCOTT.EMP\" [label=\"<SCOTT.EMP> SCOTT.EMP|<FK_DEPTNO>DEPTNO \\l |EMPNO \\l ENAME \\l JOB \\l MGR \\l STARTDATE \\l SAL \\l COMM \\l \" shape = \"record\"];\n", fp);
    fputs("\"SCOTT.DEPT\":\"PK_DEPT\"->\"SCOTT.EMP\":\"FK_DEPTNO\" [arrowhead = crow];}\n", fp);
    fclose(fp);

    export_graph();    
}

void export_graph(){
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("C:/Users/claud/Documents/UW/4A/Roseseed/test.dot", "r");
    Agraph_t *g;
    g = agread(fp, 0);
    GVC_t *gvc;
    gvc = gvContext();
    gvLayout(gvc, g, "dot");
    gvRender(gvc, g, "png", 
        fopen("C:/Users/claud/Documents/UW/4A/Roseseed/test.png", "w"));
    gvFreeLayout(gvc, g);
    agclose(g);
}

```

All other files compile properly because they do not include these header files.  
And here is the full output of running make on Git Bash in the location of the Makefile:

```auto
$ make
win_bison -v -d SQLPGrammar.y
win_flex --nounput -D SQLPGrammar SQLPScanner.l
gcc -Wall -o sqlpsql SQLP.c SQLPtoSQL-main.c Preprocess.c Rules.c -I"C:/Program Files/Graphviz/include/graphviz" -L"C:/Program Files/Graphviz/lib" -lgvc -lcgraph

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:13: sqlpsql] Error 1

```

It seems like the header files are found, just none of the functions are defined. What can I do to fix this and compile the project? I am a beginner, any help is greatly appreciated! 🙂

The `agread` function is defined in `lib/cgraph`. Try using `LIBS = -lgvc -lcgraph`.

Thanks for your message, I tried that and I am still receiving the same error. Please let me know if there is anything else I could try!

Try removing `-static`

Thanks! Unfortunately, not that either. That was my attempt to remove the \_ _imp_ from the error message, which was not successful…

Can you post your full source code and the full Makefile? Also the command you’re invoking to build and the full output you get?

You write that you are on Windows. Are you using MinGW or Cygwin or something else that gives you `make` and `gcc`?

There were a lot of missing files, but after working around that I managed to compile and link your project without any problems. However, if I comment out the `LIBS = -lgvc -lcgraph` line in the Makefile I get exactly the same error messages like you. This suggests to me that the libraries actually are not in the location that you’ve given or that they have an unexpected name of format.

Try:

```auto
ls -l "C:/Program Files/Graphviz/lib"

```

and see what you find. If you are using MinGW you should see something like `libcgraph.dll.a` and `libgvc.dll.a` at least.

</div>

Now that I think of it, I think you’re more likely to see something like `cgraph.lib` and `gvc.lib` which also should work.

If you are not using MinGW, but Cygwin, you might want to try to download the experimental Cygwin version from [https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/package\_files/17473242/download](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/package_files/17473242/download), but I haven’t tried that myself.

This is what I see when I run that command:

```auto

```

So, this means my files are in the right location?

I’m not sure what you’re suggesting, I installed make from Chocolatey and gcc is MingGW. What should I try?

If gcc is MinGW it should work. Are you using bash from MinGW as your shell?

Type `env` and post the result.

I’m not using GitBash when I compile. For that I use MinGW directly. If you’ve installed MinGW (which you indicate by saying gcc is MinGW), try starting a MinGW bash, e.g. by running `mingw64.exe` or `mingw32.exe` from PowerShell and try to compile your program that way.

Are any of these what you mean? Sorry, I’m not very familiar with MinGW. These are all in the location: C:\MinGW\bin

And if one of them is, how would I then compile my code? What command do you run? And how to I get back to my Makefile? Thanks!

No. Mine is in C:\tools\msys64\mingw64.exe. When run it opens a new terminal window with MinGW bash. In that window, just `cd` to your directory as usual.

Yes, you seem to have a very old gcc as well. I used `choco install --yes --no-progress msys2` in PowerShell.
