Undefined Reference Compilation Error When Using ImdsClient and ImdsClientConfig in C++ executable

[saad-alsaad1]

Describe the bug

I've compiled all AWS SDK packages, linked the libraries (*.so and *.a files) to my executable, and included all *.h files. In my executable, I use many AWS classes. But when I use ImdsClient and ImdsClientConfig in my code. I get an undefined reference error when compiling the executable.

Expected Behavior

I think including ImdsClient and ImdsClientConfig should work other includes (EventLoopGroup, ListInstanceProfilesRequest, EC2MetadataClient... etc).

Current Behavior

Reproduction Steps

The code is like below:

I used the following includes:

The steps used for compilation are: 1- git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp 2- cd aws-sdk-cpp 3- git checkout main 4- git pull origin main 5- git submodule update --init --recursive 6- cmake aws-sdk-cpp -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/ -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=./aws-sdk-libs -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON 7- make 8- make install 9- then I included the include folder and linked the lib64 folder to the executable.

Possible Solution

I think something wrong with linking ImdsClient to a .so file.
