Adding a custom library to l4/pkg/bootstrap

[Masti Ramya Jayaram]

Hey Jan,

Sorry for underspecifying it. Here are the details.

I have a library called scc-sec under the l4/pkg directory. It has one file:

a. init.c that contains 

void hello(){
  printf("hello");
}

I compile this as a library and I can see the scc-sec.so and scc-sec.a in the l4/build/pkg/scc-sec directory

Now in l4/pkg/bootstrap:

a. Control file
requires: (added) scc-sec

b. Make.rules:
-lscc-sec

c. startup.cc

I declare the function as:

extern "C" {
void hello();
}

and somewhere in startup() function, I call it

hello();

On trying to compile this, I get (exact error as it is compiled)

in path_to-startup.cc: undefined reference to function "hello()"

I do not think it is the printf because it explicitly gives me an undefined reference to hello :)

Thanks in advance for helping with this,
Ramya

Could you give the *exact* error message? BTW, this is something you
should always do if you want people to be able to help you ;-)

My guess at this point would be that the undefined reference is not your
'hello' function but 'printf'...

The function declaration is not the problem here. If it was, the
compiler would give you an error along the lines of "'hello' was not
declared in this scope".


Regards, Jan
