Hey,
I try to include a CAN library in my project but it just doesnt work. I tried the following:
1. Configure config-file and makefile
2. compile makefile
3. put libcan.a in linker of avr 5
4. include can.h and config.h files
Now I think that I have to put the right LDFLAGS into the makefile. Can anyone tell me if I´m on the right way? Or is this method complety false?
Thank you!
Lawrence |

Can you post the error message you get while compiling your project? This will give us better understanding of the problem.

It should be noted that makefile is generated everytime when "Build -> Build Solution" is done.
Hence don't edit the makefile, rather give LDFLAGS your option through project properties "Project -> Properties -> Toolchain -> Linker"
If you still would like to make use of the static "MakeFile" for your project, select the "Use External MakeFile" option in the "Project -> Properties -> Build" and provide the makefile with its directory.
Note: You can also use the auto generated makefile that is available at "<Project_Folder>/<Configuration_Name>/Makefile"
<Configuration_Name> by default would be Debug |

| The error code is: undefined reference to... And then the method name. I just didnt find any solution. |

Well that's a linker error saying the named function cannot be resolved in the link by any .o or .a presented to the build - so you probably are not succeeding in linking the right libxxxx.a file |

| But i linked it in project properties->toolchain and then linker. Do i have to put the path also in the directions field? Or do i have to use the external makefile from which i have have my Libcan.a? |

Are you using AS5 or AS6. AS5 was a bug ridden version of what went on to become AS6. One of the things fixed was a problem with paths to library files. I suspect you are falling foul of this if still using AS5.
(you can check the .map file to see what actually got linked). |

| AS6 is nothing more than AS5 with a lot of the bugs fixed. You'd be mad to still use AS5. |

Could it be that as5 had problems with including libraries trough the toolchain menue? Because I downloaded as6 and exactly did the same like in as5 and now it works!
This might be a dumb question now: If I use a method from the library and the compiler doesnt give any errors like "no such file" or "missing reference" I can be sure that as6 now finds the library and is usable?

If in doubt check the .map file which shows what's in the binary and where it came from. |
