Adding own library to QT creator C project - c

How can I use my own C library in QT creator C project? After googling I met two ways to do that:
Creating a completely new library and copy/paste your own library codes into the new library in QT creator.
The second one is done by "Add Existing Files" where you need to just adjust path and libs.
But both of them give in my case "undefined reference to ...".
I think and believe that it is because of linking problem. What is the solution for that? Any suggestions appreciated.
I could solve the same problem in Geany by altering "Set Build Command" from "gcc -Wall -o "%e" "%f" to "gcc -Wall -o "%e" "%f" "myHeader.c". Here myHeader.h is my own library.
I am coding completely on C.

You do not have a library technically speaking, you only have a set of files, a simple solution is to create a .pri where those files are added and link the .pri to .pro:
├── your_project.pro
├── main.c
├── ...
├── ...
└── mylibrary
   ├── file1.h
   ├── file1.c
   ├── file2.h
   ├── file2.c
    └── mylibrary.pri
mylibrary.pri
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD
SOURCES += \
$$PWD/file1.c \
$$PWD/file2.c
HEADERS += \
$$PWD/file1.h \
$$PWD/file2.h
your_project.pro
# ...
include(mylibrary/mylibrary.pri)

Intermediate .obj files not getting generated when compiling a static C library in CMake

After this is run, there is no Driver_CAN.c.obj file in the CMakeFiles/kv11.dir/CMSIS/Driver/DriverTemplates directory.
What is wrong with the CMake Configuration that is causing the intermediate .obj files to not be created, which causes the library to not link properly.
I figured it out.
I turned on -fsyntax-only in the toolchain when debugging some initial files and forgot to turn it off.

Using cmake to cross compile multiple libraries and apps

I'm having issues with cmake while trying to cross compile an existing, large codebase. Our current build system uses a proprietary IDE that is causing a large number of issues -- so we're trying to move away.
I've distilled this to the simplest example I can.
Note: This all works when I don't use the toolchain option with cmake. I can get this to compile and run if just using the native toolchain.
I don't currently suspect issues with the toolchain file for cmake. I have used it to get OpenCV to compile -- with some hacking OpenCV.
The error that I get when trying to cross compile is:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.3
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.3
-- Check for working C compiler: /opt/qnx650/host/linux/x86/usr/bin/ntox86-gcc

Linking to a local C library for Rust with FFI

I am trying to wrap a quite large C library in Rust. I used bindgen to generate the bindings. Rust seems content with those. However, despite my different attempts and my many reads of the build-script docs, I keep on getting linking issues.
The library I'm using has a set of csh script which end up building two .a files: cspice.a and csupport.a. They are both stored in the cspice_linux_gcc_64bit/lib of my project (cf. the tree at bottom).
I currently test the proper binding by calling constants and functions from my tests, cf. lib.rs (on my Github).
I highly suspect that something is wrong with my build.rs or, less likely, my Cargo.toml.

building two .a files: cspice.a and csupport.a
On Linux, static libraries are generally called libfoo.a, but your library doesn't have the lib prefix.
Renaming the file to libcspice.a should allow it to compile. I'm not sure if you'd want to modify your build script or the libraries build script to perform the renaming. It's even possible that the library itself has a compilation switch to use a platform-standard naming scheme.

How to configure .ycm_extra_conf.py for current project include PATH

I installed YCM and syntastic for VIM, normally they work fine, but I have problem when it detect some errors in my code, it shows that can NOT find some head files(which is my project head file).
My directory tree shows below:
TOP
├── debug
│   ├── debug.c
│   ├── debug.h
│   ├── debug.mk
│   └── instrument.c
├── driver
│   ├── driver.c
│   ├── driver_ddi.c
│   ├── driver_ddi.h
│   ├── driver.h
│   └── driver.mk
├── include
│   └── common.h
├── libs
├── Makefile
├── mw
│   ├── manager.c
│   └── mw.mk
└── root
   ├── main.c
    └── root.mk
I copied a .ycm_extra_conf.py to the TOP, meanwhile, I will generated tag and cscope file at TOP as well, therefore each time I open file on TOP, like:
howchen#host:~/Work/c/sample/src
-> gvim ./driver/driver.c
to make sure each time I can add tag and cscope file in VIM. The problem is, if I open driver.c, which contain head files: driver.h, driver_ddi.h, debug.h, common.h, code like below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "math.h"
#include "common.h"
#include "debug.h"
#include "driver_ddi.h"
#include "driver.h"
the syntastic or YCM always show it can NOT find common.h and debug.h, other head files are OK.
My YCM and syntastic config part in vimrc file:
" YCM
" let g:ycm_extra_conf_globlist = ['~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/cpp/ycm/*','!~/*']
let g:ycm_global_ycm_extra_conf = '~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe/cpp/ycm/.ycm_extra_conf.py'
" Syntastic

My .ycm_extra_conf.py write flags variable as:
flags = [
'-Wall',
'-Wextra',
'-Werror',
'-Wc++98-compat',
'-Wno-long-long',
'-Wno-variadic-macros',
'-fexceptions',
'-DNDEBUG',
'-std=c99',
# ...and the same thing goes for the magic -x option which specifies the
# language that the files to be compiled are written in. This is mostly
# relevant for c++ headers.
# For a C project, you would set this to 'c' instead of 'c++'.
'-x', #I don't know if I need remove -x
'c',
'-isystem',
'../llvm/include',
'-isystem',
'../llvm/tools/clang/include',
'-I',
'.',
'-I',
'../driver'
'-I',
'../debug'
'-I',
'../include'
'-I',
'../include'
]
any wrong flags I set?
Moved here from the question.
I found the problem:
flags = [
'-Wall',
'-Wextra',
'-Werror',
'-Wc++98-compat',
'-Wno-long-long',
'-Wno-variadic-macros',
'-fexceptions',
'-DNDEBUG',
'-std=c99',
# ...and the same thing goes for the magic -x option which specifies the
# language that the files to be compiled are written in. This is mostly
# relevant for c++ headers.
# For a C project, you would set this to 'c' instead of 'c++'.
'-x', #I don't know if I need remove -x
'c',
'-isystem',
'../llvm/include',
'-isystem',
'../llvm/tools/clang/include',
'-I./driver',
'-I./debug',
'-I./include',
]
I missed a comma and path should be ./xxx, also neeeeed '-I/usr/include', and '-I/usr/local/include'.

undefined reference to `readline' [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
'undefined reference' errors when compiling against library
(2 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
I'm having a problem trying to run the GNU Readline library sample code available in wikipedia. Here it goes:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>
#include <readline/history.h>
int main()
{
char* input, shell_prompt[100];
// Configure readline to auto-complete paths when the tab key is hit.
rl_bind_key('\t', rl_complete);
for(;;) {
// Create prompt string from user name and current working directory.
snprintf(shell_prompt, sizeof(shell_prompt), "%s:%s $ ", getenv("USER"), getcwd(NULL, 1024));
// Display prompt and read input (n.b. input must be freed after use)...
input = readline(shell_prompt);
// Check for EOF.
if (!input)
break;
// Add input to history.
add_history(input);
// Do stuff...
// Free input.
free(input);
}
}
I'm working on a restricted environment were readline was not available, so I had to download the sources, compile it and install it to my home dir.
This is the structure inside my home directory:
.local
├── include

│      ├── chardefs.h
│      ├── history.h
│      ├── keymaps.h
│      ├── readline.h

The problem is, when I call gcc it throws me an error:
$ gcc hello.c -o hello_c.o -I /home/my-home-dir/.local/include
/tmp/cckC236E.o: In function `main':
hello.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `rl_complete'
hello.c:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `rl_bind_key'
hello.c:(.text+0x60): undefined reference to `readline'
hello.c:(.text+0x77): undefined reference to `add_history'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
There is an answer about this here, but I'm not using Netbeans and I'm not quite sure how to specify the path to the library on the command line.
I tried to tell the linker where the libraries are, but the result is still the same:
$ gcc hello.c -o hello_c.o -I /home/my-home-dir/.local/include -Xlinker "-L /home/my-home-dir/.local/lib"
/tmp/cceiePMr.o: In function `main':
hello.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `rl_complete'
hello.c:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `rl_bind_key'
hello.c:(.text+0x60): undefined reference to `readline'
hello.c:(.text+0x77): undefined reference to `add_history'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Any ideas what I might be missing here?
You need to link against the actual library using -lreadline in gcc arguments.
