gold linker cannot link to folly

[tangliisu]

We are trying to compile the cachelib in an internal repo. This repo already has a folly with old version
facebook/folly@60be5ec
Unfortunately we cannot upgrade the folly version to the lastest since it might affect our other service in the repo. I tried to patch folly and cachelib to make cachelib compilable in an old version of folly/fbthrift. I am not sure this error is related to folly version.

@tangliisu Are you intending to build cachebench or simply the cachelib code to hook inside your application ?

[tangliisu]

i am intending to build cachebench. I have resolved this issue by linking ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfolly.so /usr/lib/libfolly.so thank you

[sathyaphoenix]

Thanks for confirming. IIUC, you intend to build cachelib with an older version of folly and got that to working by symlinking the older version directly, overriding the build setup that ships with cachelib and got it to work ?

[tangliisu]

yes that is correct.
