RE: Issue in integrating the .lib file in visual studio code with GCC

Jared — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 12:48:51 GMT

Hi,

My understanding is that the precompiled lib from Keil has another default size for wchar_t then what is used with your GCC toolchain. Which is causing this issue. I therefore suggested to fix this by adding the CFLAG in my previous reply. I have to admit that I'm not that experienced in exactly this topic. Since it's a more general C question then Nordic specifically, do you mind trying to post this in an alternative forum? Also, is there any chance that you can change the pre compiled lib by adjusting the compilator rules in Keil?

regards

Jared

Hi Jared, I tried adding the CFLAGS, but still the warning persists. Can anything else

be done?

Hi,

It seems that the original issue has been resolved, and that it now finds the pre compiled lib,

You can try to add fshort-wchar as a CFLAG in the makefile:

CFLAGS += -fshort-wchar

Hi Jared,

I just tried to link the file using LIBFILES flag, but still I got an error. Can you help me figure this issue?

I have added the required .c files and the folders to the makefile and also added LDFLAG to link the library. Let me know if any more changes needs to be made in the makefile or in any JSON files.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Jared

Please find the screenshot of the sensor folder from the explorer.

Hey,

That looks correct,

Can you share a screenshot of the sensor folder from file explorer? How does it look like?

regards

Jared
