Failed to build my own "boolean.cpp"

Library Questions

Hello everyone,
In order to learn how to build my own project, I am trying to build “boolean.cpp” as my “demo-simple-example.cpp” first, however it came out with some error.

The error seems like it doesn’t know the function defined in namespace lbcrypto, so I am wondering if it cannot find the “binfhecontext.cpp” or did I miss something?

(I had completed “make install” and copied the CMakeLists.User.txt (modified) and PreLoad.cmake into my boolean folder.)

Here are the hierarchy of my folder and thanks for the reading. :slightly_smiling_face:

my_example
----boolean
--------build
--------CMakeLists.txt
--------myboolean.cpp
--------PreLoad.cmake

  1. Can you share a URL to your repo? I’d like to see the contents. It’s a bit hard to debug without having access to the code.

  2. Are you able to run the examples within OpenFHE?

  1. GitHub - shiuannnnn/my_example
    Here are the contents, and “myboolean.cpp” just same as your example.

  2. Yes, I have almost test all the examples in binfhe without any error.

Edit: After using the shared library instead of static library (BUILD_STATIC=OFF), the error fixed and now I can see the execution file. But it occurred another problem that the execution file cannot be executed.

Edit2: The problem solved when I put the execution file into the folder where I build examples within OpenFHE. (Seems weird but my problem is temporary solved, I think I need to be familiar with some environment settings.)

Noted. I’ve marked the issue as solved
