GCC Compiler error linker command failed - c

I have the following C File and I am using Mac OS X GCC Compiler.
You find the error below.
#include "support.h"
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <conio.h>
void support_init() {
// not needed
}
void support_clear() {
system("CLS");
}
int support_readkey(int timeout_ms) {
Sleep(timeout_ms);
if (!kbhit()) return 0;
return getch();
}
#else
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
void support_init() {
struct termios tio;
tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &tio);
tio.c_lflag &= (~ICANON & ~ECHO);
tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, &tio);
}
void support_clear() {
printf("\x1B[2J\x1B[0;0f");
}
int support_readkey(int timeout_ms) {
struct timeval tv = { 0L, timeout_ms * 1000L };

FD_ZERO(&fds);
FD_SET(0, &fds);
int r = select(1, &fds, NULL, NULL, &tv);
if (!r) return 0;
return getchar();
}
#endif
And this is my Makefile:
CFLAGS=-std=c11 -Wall -g
CC=clang
all: snake
.PHONY: all clean
snake: snake.o support.o
snake.o: snake.c support.h
clean:
rm -f snake
rm -f snake.o support.o
When I try to compile with the command "make all" I get the following error:
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
Please help. I am new to C :-)

check the Architecture based on that the cflags shoule be updated to set to -m32 or -m64 ,
for successful compilation in 64 bit machine this has to set to -m64.
CFLAGS+= -m64

BCM2835_st_read() returns zero - confused

bcm2835 init works fine, as does all the GPIO & bcm2835_delay and the like.
RPi4 & Pi400, Raspbian "Bullseye", bcm2835 1.71, Libcap installed, added the program name etc
And I've compiled with Geany
gcc -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -pthread $(pkg-config gtk+-3.0 --cflags --libs) -export-dynamic -l bcm2835 -l png -DBCM2835_HAVE_LIBCAP
Here's code:
// bcm_timer.c
//
// Example program for bcm2835 library system time
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <bcm2835.h>
uint64_t now = 0;
uint64_t then = 0;
uint rescode = 0;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
// Init GPIO
if ( ! bcm2835_init() )
{
printf("Fail 0x%X ", errno);
return -1;
}
then = bcm2835_st_read();
bcm2835_delay(500);
now = bcm2835_st_read();
printf("Then = 0x%lluX, Now = 0x%lluX \n", then, now) ;
bcm2835_close();
return 0;
}
Here's output:
xxx#raspberrypi:~/Develop/c/test $ ./bcm_timer
Then = 0x0X, Now = 0x0X

Issue with my C program : compilation error occurs

I am using Yocto project cross-compiler to compile my C code.
But for some reasons I have compilation errors.
This is my C code :
#include <stdio.h>

/* Linaro will add this */
/* What Mraa does understand is pin out numbers so, */
/* pin 23 is GPIO-A and pin 25 is GPIO-C */
#define LED 10
#define BUTTON 29
bool running = true;
bool led_state = false;
int last_touch;
void sig_handler(int signo)
{
if (signo == SIGINT)
running = false;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
mraa::Result ret;
int touch;
mraa::Gpio* touch_gpio = new mraa::Gpio(BUTTON);
if (touch_gpio == NULL){
return mraa::ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
}
mraa::Gpio* led_gpio = new mraa::Gpio(LED);
if (led_gpio == NULL){
return mraa::ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
}
signal(SIGINT, sig_handler);

}
led_gpio->write(led_state);
while (running) {
touch = touch_gpio->read();
if (touch == 1 && last_touch == 0) {
led_state = !led_state;
ret = led_gpio->write(led_state);
usleep(100000);
}
last_touch = touch;
usleep(1);
}
delete led_gpio;
delete touch_gpio;
return ret;
}
This is the Makefile :

You are compiling your code written in C with a C++ compiler.
Just change your .c files to .cpp files, and compile using g++ rather than gcc if you are on Unix systems.

How to link with linux/gpio.h?

I want to compile following c file:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <../deps/linux/gpio.h>
int main(void) {
int r = gpio_is_valid(31);
if (r == -1) {
perror("GPIO address is invalid.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
My Makefile looks as
build: gpio
LDFLAGS = -Llinux
gpio:
$(CC) -o gpio.o src/gpio.c $(LDFLAGS)
Unfortunately I get "gpio.h not found" as error.
gpio.h is a Linux kernel header. It can not be used for user space programs.

Error while including header file using make

I have to compile two independent processes-sendfdsock.c and recvfdsock.c using make file. Both the files have there own main function. This means they are independent and I have to compile them as two different binaries. This is my make file:
compileAll:sendfdsock recvfdsock
sendfdsock:sendfdsock.o
gcc -o sendfdsock sendfdsock.o
sendfdsock.o:sendfdsock.c accessories.h
gcc -c sendfdsock.c
recvfdsock.o:recvfdsock.c accessories.h
gcc -c recvfdsock.c
recvfdsock:recvfdsock.o
gcc -o recvfdsock recvfdsock.o
Here I have made a compileAll target which compiles both the files.
Both files need to use accessories.h. As mention in GNU Make Doc - A simple Make file. I wrote this make file.

Initially everything work fine but when I trid to use any function which is defined in accessories.c compilation give me error.
For example I use the log function in sendfdsock.c :
#include "accessories.h"
#define CONTROLLEN CMSG_LEN(sizeof(int))
static struct cmsghdr *cmptr = NULL; /* malloc'ed first time */
int send_err(int fd, int errcode, const char *msg);
int send_fd(int fd, int fd_to_send);
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
logp(1,"started"); //This function is defined in accessories.c
int fd_to_send;
if((fd_to_send = open("vi",O_RDONLY)) < 0)
printf("vi open failed");
struct sockaddr_un address;
int socket_fd, nbytes;
char buffer[256];
........
Output of the compilation is:
abhi#abhi-me:~/bridge/server$ make compileAll
gcc -c sendfdsock.c
sendfdsock.c: In function ‘send_fd’:
sendfdsock.c:111:9: warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type ‘ssize_t’ [-Wformat]

sendfdsock.c:(.text+0x32): undefined reference to `logp'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sendfdsock] Error 1
abhi#abhi-me:~/bridge/server$
Why undefined reference to logp error?
Why I don't write accessories.o in final linking:
But as this example is given in GNU Make Doc:
In this example, all the C files include ‘defs.h’, but
only those defining editing comminclude ‘command.h’, and only
low level files that change the editor buffer include 'buffer.h':
edit : main.o kbd.o command.o display.o \
insert.o search.o files.o utils.o
cc -o edit main.o kbd.o command.o display.o \
insert.o search.o files.o utils.o
main.o : main.c defs.h
cc -c main.c
kbd.o : kbd.c defs.h command.h
cc -c kbd.c
command.o : command.c defs.h command.h
cc -c command.c
display.o : display.c defs.h buffer.h
cc -c display.c
insert.o : insert.c defs.h buffer.h
cc -c insert.c
search.o : search.c defs.h buffer.h
cc -c search.c
files.o : files.c defs.h buffer.h command.h
cc -c files.c
utils.o : utils.c defs.h
cc -c utils.c
clean :
rm edit main.o kbd.o command.o display.o \
insert.o search.o files.o utils.o
Here while linking all the files in edit they don't write defs.o or buffer.o. Means while linking they are not including object files of header files. Also they have not written any target like: defs.o or buffer.o
Why?
You just missed accessories.o in both linking targets. Something like this:
accessories.o: accessories.c
sendfdsock: sendfdsock.o accessories.o
$(CC) -o $# $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $+
Also, consider using the built-in rules, just modify their parameters, if needed. See make -p for the full list (and makes infopage)
You misunderstand the relationship between source files, header files and object files.
Suppose I have the following four files:
//foo.h
#define PI 3.1
//bar.h
void func();
//bar.c
#include "foo.h"
#include "bar.h"
void func()
{
...
}
//baz.c
#include "foo.h"
#include "bar.h"
int main()
{
func();
}
(I left out the header guards, I presume you know about those.) I must use the compiler to produce an object file from each source file: bar.c -> bar.o and baz.c -> baz.o. I don't have to make object files from the headers foo.h and bar.h, those will simply be #included by any source file that needs them. Then I link the object files together to form an executable:
baz: bar.o baz.o
gcc -o baz bar.o baz.o
bar.o: bar.c foo.h bar.h
gcc -c bar.c
baz.o: baz.c foo.h bar.h
gcc -c baz.c
If I neglect to link bar.o into the executable, I'll get a linker error when the linker gets to the place where baz calls func() and the linker doesn't know what to put there (because it lacks the definition of func() in bar.o):
baz.o: In function `main':
baz.c:(.text+0x32): undefined reference to `func()'
So the GNU Make doc is correct, and as Alex said, your rule should have:
sendfdsock:sendfdsock.o accessories.o
...
accessories.o: accessories.c accessories.h
...
(Incidentally, once you get this makefile working, we can show you how to make it more concise.)

pthread_create failed and returned -1 (or 4294967295)

I'm trying to reproduce an example from Network Security with OpenSSL (by Chandra et al). The program consists of client.c server.c common.h and common.c. client.c simply creates a connection to the server on port 6012 and reads data from stdin and then send those data to the server. The server.c reads data from socket and writes it back out to stdout.
The problem is that server.c always get stuck in if(BIO_do_accept(acc) <= 0) at line 62 and never gets data sent from client.c, which runs perfectly fine. I later found the problem is that pthread_create(...) at line 66 ( which is defined as THREAD_CREATE(...) in common.h) failed and it returned 4294967295. Because THREAD_CREATE(...) failed, the program never get a chance to run do_server_loop in server_thread(...), which explains why the server never got the data from client.
How should I interpret the return values from pthread_create and how should I fix it?
PS. I later used strerror to convert 4294967295 and it returned "Unknown error".
Any help will be much appreciated!

Besides, you can use strerror function to convert error code to human-readable form.
add -D_REENTRANT on compile command lines and -lpthread on the link command line.
-D_REENTRANT will tell C/C++ libraries that your program is in multithread mode and -lpthread just load the shared library libpthread.so at runtime. I found this at William Garrison's POSIX threads tutorial and this link.
