Environment

  • Pythonnet version: v2.4.0
  • Python version: 3.7.4 but it affects all versions of python I try building the library for
  • Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04

pythonnet installed inside a virtualenv

Details

Importing the clr library results in an import error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/libmonosgen-2.0.so.1 undefined symbol: _ZTIPi

Minimal example:

    import clr

This had been working just fine, however it looks like libmonosgen-2.0.so.1 updated on the 9th and I think that's what is the cause of this issue. Rebuilding completely from scratch in a fresh virtualenv doesn't fix this problem.

Looks like this is the same issue as is being discussed here #925 (comment)

Temporary workaround is to revert and pin mono to 5.20.1

libmonosgen-2_0-1-6.4.0.198-0.xamarin.3.epel7.x86_64 is the problem, this will not work (if you don't compile things yourself). I don't know why different C++ ABIs are used here but I also have no capacities to debug this.

Thanks @filmor, I didn't notice that package had higher version, now it works, thanks.

Is that still an issue? I just ran into this using pythonnet 2.4 with a dotnetcore2.0 build and having latest mono-devel installed which is, at time of writing, 6.8.0.

I think I figured out the root cause, but don't know yet what is the proper way to fix it: mono/mono#19628

TL;DR; properly linking libmono from Mono 6.8 requires C++ linker or to manually specify C++ stdlib to be linked with C linker (e.g. -lstdc++). I believe workaround is to manually add -lstdc++ to setup.py like this:

...
libs = mono_libs.strip() + " " + glib_libs.strip() + " -lstdc++"
...

I'll wait for Mono response to give us a supported way to do this.

Aaaand after getting pythonnet successfully install with this workaround I hit #1034

The C++ linker does a bit more than just -lstdc++, it's probably enough to just use language="c++" in the Extension constructor.

And the module functions need to be extern "C".
