Embedder Linker Error

[schuetzenhofer]

Details

We're trying to embed Node.js into a simple C++ application following this guide ### https://nodejs.org/api/embedding.html.

Downloaded the Source Code and built it successfully using

./configure
 make -j4

Then wrote a simple Cmake that links to all (29) static libraries in out/Release

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.23)

project(v8-cpp)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)

set(NODE_DIR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/node)

set(HEADERS

)

set(SOURCES

)

set(INCLUDE_DIRS
 ${NODE_DIR}/deps/v8/include/
 ${NODE_DIR}/deps/uv/include/

 ${NODE_DIR}/src/
)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}
 main.cpp
 ${HEADERS}
 ${SOURCES}
)

Using the exact code from the guide yields this error

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

We tried building with --without-node-snapshot but are still getting the same error. We also tried with version 16.17.0, but are getting the same error and two other ones.
