Linker fails to find filament::Material::Builder::build

[DreiDe]

I use the provided Makefile to link against the static filament libraries:

FILAMENT_LIBS=-lfilament -lbackend -lbluegl -lbluevk -lfilabridge -lfilaflat -lutils -lgeometry -lsmol-v -lvkshaders -libl
CC=clang++

main: main.o
	$(CC) -Llib/x86_64/ main.o $(FILAMENT_LIBS) -lpthread -lc++ -ldl -o main

main.o: main.cpp
	$(CC) -Iinclude/ -std=c++17 -pthread -c main.cpp

clean:
	rm -f main main.o

.PHONY: clean

This works fine unless I call Material* material = Material::Builder().build(*engine);
While this does compile fine, the linker complains:

main.cpp:(.text+0x13f): undefined reference to `filament::Material::Builder::build(filament::Engine&)'
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I have included the filament/Material.h and filament/Engine.h files. What could be the issue here?

When analyzing the binary with
` nm -C libfilament.a | grep 'filament::Material::Builder::build'``` the symbol is found:

                 U filament::Material::Builder::build(filament::Engine&) const
                 U filament::Material::Builder::build(filament::Engine&) const
0000000000000000 T filament::Material::Builder::build(filament::Engine&) const
                 U filament::Material::Builder::build(filament::Engine&) const

I tried the same thing on my machine and I did not encounter this issue.

Could you share about the setup of your compiler, the filament release version, or even the main.cpp you're using?

Could you check if both libc++ and libc++abi have a higher version than 14?

This is what dpkg -l | grep libc++ reports:

I tried to setup a docker environment and align everything with your settings, but I'm not able to reproduce this issue.
It seems this problem is specific to your compiler or build situation.

@show50726 Do you have the Dockerfile you tested with? Or is there an official Build-/Devcontainer so my build should also succeed?

Sorry I missed the last comment you left. BTW, does this work for you? #8529 (comment)
