I keep getting this linker error when building my application with GNU Make (v3.82.90). I've looked at the other answers on SO, but the answer continues to elude me.
gcc -o build obj/teos_init.o obj/teos_event.o obj/teos_task.o obj/teos_sem.o obj
/teos_linkedlist.o obj/teos_log.o -Iinc/pvt -Iinc/pub -fmax-errors=3 -std=c11
c:/libs/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.9.3/../../../libmingw32.a(main.o):(.text.
startup+0xa7): undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
makefile:14: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 1
My makefile is such...
INCDIR = inc/pvt inc/pub
SRCDIR = src
OBJDIR = obj
LIBDIR = lib
CC=gcc
CFLAGS := $(foreach d, $(INCDIR), -I$d) -fmax-errors=3 -std=c11
_SRC = teos_init.c teos_event.c teos_task.c teos_sem.c teos_linkedlist.c teos_log.c
_OBJ := $(subst $(SRCDIR),$(OBJDIR),$(_SRC:%.c=%.o))
OBJ := $(patsubst %,$(OBJDIR)/%,$(_OBJ))
build: $(OBJ)
$(CC) -o $@ $^ $(CFLAGS)
$(OBJDIR)/%.o: $(SRCDIR)/%.c
@mkdir -p $(OBJDIR)
$(CC) -c -o $@ $< $(CFLAGS)
$(OBJ): $(DEPS)
.PHONY: clean
clean:
-rm -r $(OBJDIR)/*
This is my main function:
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
TEOS_ERROR err = TEOS_ERR_NO_ERROR;
err = TEOS_TaskPoolInit();
return err;
}
Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE
This is not a duplicate. As indicated when I made this post, "I've looked at the other answers on SO, but the answer continues to elude me." I'm trying to build a console application using standard C libraries, not a Windows application.
Given that in a comment, you claim:
the main function is in main.c
and the output of the link operation (formatted for clarity) is
gcc -o build
obj/teos_init.o
obj/teos_event.o
obj/teos_task.o
obj/teos_sem.o
obj/teos_linkedlist.o
obj/teos_log.o
-Iinc/pvt -Iinc/pub -fmax-errors=3 -std=c11
it's clear that your Makefile is not linking main.o
so you don't have a main
function.
The reason for this is that main.c
is not listed in your list of source files from which the list of object files to link is built..
_SRC = teos_init.c teos_event.c teos_task.c teos_sem.c teos_linkedlist.c teos_log.c
# No main.c here
Add main.c to the end of that line and see if that fixes anything.
