ERROR undefined reference to `uhd::msg::register_handler(void (* const&)(uhd::msg::type_t, std::string const&))'

[paraparata]

I have an error while make OPENBTS-UMTS :

/root/src/OpenBTS-UMTS/TransceiverUHD/UHDDevice.cpp:414: undefined reference to `uhd::msg::register_handler(void (* const&)(uhd::msg::type_t, std::string const&))'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [transceiver] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/src/OpenBTS-UMTS/TransceiverUHD'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/src/OpenBTS-UMTS'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'll so glad if anyone can help me solve this. Because I've googled this issue and didn't find any real solution :"(

you must copy the "transceiver" file for several directories:

good luck

@peterm2109 Thanks before bruh has answer my question, but it still not working. And I think the "copy the transceiver"s step must be run after "make install" procedure. The log is still same as first.

[peterm2109]

you're right @paraparata ... sorry....

I was seeing the times I had installed OpenBTS-UMTS, looking for when I was giving that error in the make process.

Verify that you have installed:

• apt-get install libtool-bin
• apt-get install libboost-all-dev
  while I did not install them they gave me problems with the "make"

another thing. you must install the version asn1c-0.9.23, it is inside the code that you download.

cd ~ / OpenBTS-UMTS /
tar -zxvf asn1c-0.9.23.tar.gz
cd vlm-asn1c-0959ffb /
./configure
make
make install

another thing that happened to me, was that to make "make" I had to have the USRP connected

cd ~ / OpenBTS-UMTS /
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

good luck...

the reference is clear enough, UHD related libs are to be blamed here. Dont act blindly and more important don't give advice blindly.

[alejandro-amo]

found it:
downgrade UHD to older version < 3.10. for example, 3.9-LTS
it was quite obvious that UHD was the cause we only have to focus on the error message and look for references to it. other project authors explain this issue very well and have published patches for their old pieces of software.

[alejandro-amo]

by the way: In order to fully solve this problem, I'm porting OpenBTS to the new UHD drivers API. It's not so hard after all, few things changed. I'm also cherrypicking other fixes and enhancements from other buddies.

Hi @AlisterAmo , thx for ur time for helping me solve this. I'll try your repo then. Big thx.

Hi @AlisterAmo , I followed your instruction in this link https://github.com/EurecatSecurity/OpenBTS-UMTS . But there is an error like this

Do you know how to solve this?
Big thx

[alejandro-amo]

not sure about this one. can you provide more info? build environment, compiler versions etc?

Hi @peterm2109 , for "transceiver" file, are you refering to "UHDDevice.cpp" file or wich one?
I have the same problem:

I don´t know how to resolve it :(

[sherdil6]

@paraparata getting exactly similar error. Did you resolve it at that time?
