undefined reference to `CheckError' - solved

[asd]

Hi guys,
just in case anyone else is having this problem.
I was trying to compile TemperatureSensor_Example.c but it complained about the reference to CheckError (declared in PhidgetHelperFunctions.c).

I had to modify the original make file (SRCS) to also compile PhidgetHelperFunctions.c:

The Makefile

Code: Select all

BIN=example
SRCS=TemperatureSensor_Example.c ../Common/PhidgetHelperFunctions.c
LIBS=-lphidget22
LIBDIR=-I/home/asd/phidgets/libphidget22-1.0.0.20180905/.libs
INCDIR=-L/home/asd/phidgets/examples/Phidget22_TemperatureSensor_C_Ex_20180905/Common

CFLAGS=-ggdb3 -Wall -v

all:
	${CC} ${CFLAGS} -o ${BIN} ${SRCS} ${INCDIR} ${LIBDIR} ${LIBS}

All best,
Matthias

I have searched for a compile problem for a few days now so I do appreciate you posting this. I am also getting this and a few more errors which I will show below. Without going into a very long setup and explanation would you have any suggestions?

I am trying to use the Stepper_Example.c with the default makefile.

Looks like you are trying to just compile the example directly with gcc. CheckError is defined is a seperated file - PhidgetHelperFunctions.c, which is also compiled by the Makefile, and included in the example download. The examples have been updated with the fixed Makefile.
