Undefined reference to 'function' error in C

c function reference header undefined

Solution 1

I guess you are compiling only main.c. You should also include ofdm.c.

$ gcc -Wall main.c ofdm.c -o output

Solution 2

Since you get this error for all your functions, it can't be a typo. My best guess is that you are not linking the two files.

If using gcc, this is done in the following way:

gcc -o main.o -c main.c
gcc -o ofdm.o -c ofdm.c
gcc -o program main.o ofdm.o

Note that -c means it should compile, but not try to create an executable. This means that linking is not done.

Once both files are compiled, you would then link them together.

Solution 3

When you're learning new things, it helps to learn one new thing at a time. Put your source code into version control, then simplify it to get a clean compile.

main.c

#include "ofdm.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  return 0;
}

ofdm.c

#include "ofdm.h"

void leftshift(short *bin,short *erg,int shifts, int len)
{
  int i;


  for(i = 0;i < len - shifts;i++)
  {
    erg[i] = bin[i + shifts];
  }
  for(i = len - shifts;i < len;i++)
  {
   erg[i] = 0;
  }
}

ofdm.h

#ifndef OFDM_H_INCLUDED
#define OFDM_H_INCLUDED

void leftshift(short *bin,short *erg,int shifts, int len);

#endif

Then, to compile with gcc . . .

$ gcc -Wall -c ofdm.c
$ gcc -Wall -c main.c
$ gcc -Wall *.o

That should give you a program that does nothing, successfully. Now you can start to build it up again from your version-controlled source.

  • Add one function at a time.
  • Edit it to get a clean compile.
  • Edit it to pass sane tests.

    I created a header file called ofdm.h which includes all the function prototypes. Then I created a source file called ofdm.c, which includes the source code of all the functions declared in ofdm.h . After that I started coding in main.c, but when I run it I get the error: undefined reference to '(function name)'. I get this error for all my functions.

    Below you can find the source code of all my three files.

    If you could help me to solve this problem I would be glad. I think there is some kind of linking problem between my library and the main source file.

    Thanks in advance.

    +1. Alternatively: gcc -Wall main.c -c main.o plus gcc -Wall ofdm.c -c ofdm.o plus gcc main.o ofdm.o -o output, so that only main.c needs to be recompiled if ofdm.c hasn't changed.

    I agree. That's a little more efficient.
