Urgent Question regarding GCOV

[Jayashree Ramani <rjayashree at yahoo dot com>]

Hello GCC Experts,

    I am an engineer trying to run gcov for our unit tests. We have a couple of DLLs and a few static libraries.

    I am having trouble linking the Test program that links in the DLLs. I have the following in the Cmake files:

IF( "${COVERAGE}" STREQUAL "TRUE" )
     LINK_DIRECTORIES(/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3)
     TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( NWATest analytics TestUtils ${SYSTEM_LIBS} )
ENDIF( "${COVERAGE}" STREQUAL "TRUE" )


I have similar lines for all make files that create TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES.

But I get the following errors:

/bin/ld: NWATest: hidden symbol `__gcov_init' in /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/libgcc.a(_gcov.oS) is referenced by DSO


COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I have not found ANY ONLINE documentation or solutions on message boards.

Many Thanks.    PLEASE SEE MORE INFO BELOW.
