How to build when multiple source files in rootfs in embedded linux? - linux

Question

I have a simple c application
Ctest.c file
#include <stdio.h>
#include "new.h"
#include "new.c"
int main()
{
switching();
return 0;
}
and i have those new.c and new.h files.
new.h file as
void switching();
and my new.c file as
void switching(){
char grade ='B';
switch(grade){
case 'A':
printf("Excellent\n");
break;
case 'B':
printf("Super\n");
break;
case 'C':
printf("Well done\n");
break;
case 'D':
printf("You passed\n");
break;
case 'F':
printf("Better try again");
break;
default:
printf("invalid grade");
break;
}
printf("your grade is %c \n",grade);
}
When i try to use build commands in my embedded linux tool for compiling and generating a binary , building is failed and here is my changed make file for the application on rootfs.
make file for the app Ctest:
APP = Ctest
# Add any other object files to this list below
APP_OBJS = Ctest.o
APP_OBJS += new.o
all: build
build: $(APP)
$(APP): $(APP_OBJS)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $# $(APP_OBJS) $(LDLIBS)
Here is my error log during compile time
DEBUG: Executing shell function do_compile

i understood that i need to do changes in the make file or bitbake file that build the application ie., Ctest.bb file If so what are the changes? And I am using petalinux 2017.1
the bitbake file of the application is
#
# This file is the Ctest recipe.
#
SUMMARY = "Simple Ctest application"
SECTION = "PETALINUX/apps"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"
SRC_URI = "file://Ctest.c \
file://new.c \
file://Makefile \
"
S = "${WORKDIR}"
do_compile() {
oe_runmake
}
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${bindir}
install -m 0755 Ctest ${D}${bindir}
install -m 0755 new ${D}${bindir}
}
How can i give new.h file into the make file or do i need to change the bitbake file?

Answer 1

Your Ctest.c file includes new.c so you should not be trying to build new.o at all. Remove the line
APP_OBJS += new.o
and
install -m 0755 new ${D}${bindir}
You are not providing the new.h file in your SRC_URI. Change it to
SRC_URI = "file://Ctest.c \
file://new.c \
file://new.h \
file://Makefile \
"
