Gcc cross - arm linux gnuebihf - compiling problem [message #1806824]

I have problem with implementating the library .a file for eclipse.

Already i have add the library file in Proporties>C/C++ General>Paths and Symbols>Libraries and earesed the .a at the end of the filename. Couse otherwise eclipse toolchain can't see the lib file.

But now i have problem with building the whole code. I have error like that:

makefile:31: recipe for target 'LED_TESTER_V1' failed" with line: @echo 'Building target: $@'

Probably i didin't add some parameters that is needed to compile my library.

I'm using the gpio library from the element14 named iolib.

In the instruction is: "Compile using: gcc -c main.c -o main.o followed by gcc main.o liofunc o main_app"

Maybe i need to add somewhere -liofunc but i don't know where. Or this is another problem.

Please go get the GNU linker manual <https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.en.html>.
The linker (ld) manual is a part of the Binutils package.

The manual explains the two options how to specify a library file.

Your error seems to be a -lxxx with the xxx missing.
Note: the error you highlighted is just make telling you something went wrong.
The actual error precedes it in the log.

I think the dialogs in Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols
are misleading.

I think on the Libraries tab, you should only put the library base name.
For example, for libxxx.a you would just put xxx
The paths to the libraries are placed in the Library Paths tab
In your case, xxx should be iofunc

Frankly, I don't use these dialogs. Instead I use the dialog panes found at
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Settings --> Tool Settings tab --> Linker --> Libraries
I think they are easier to use.
Of course, YMMV
