A proper way of customizing nrf/zephyr libs/examples to get rid of multiple definition errors and conflicts.

zsn

Hi,


I am working on ATV2 app and related libs and examples, for example, I need to edit aws_iot.c but I don't want to affect all nrf aws_iot.c lib examples and projects, I just want to apply these changes to my local project to work on some other projects with default libs and configs later, So I copied aws_iot.c to the local project folder and compiled it. but as you guess, I am getting "multiple definition errors" like this below. It is the same error when I want to copy and edit Kconfig files as well.

is there any option to eliminate including sdk libs and configs during compiling to prevent conflicts between zephyrOs libs examples and my project? or Do I have to change the names of the files and functions? I remember when I was working on IAR, eclipse ide, I can add/remove lib paths.

    Seems like you are including AWS_IOT libs twice. Once from ncs\v2.2.0\nrf\subsys\net\lib\aws_iot and C:\wsc\iotpass\IoTPass\board-test\src\cloud\cloud_codec\aws_iot\

    If you do not want to include nrf based aws_iot lib just set CONFIG_AWS_IOT=n in your proj.conf so that the sources in ncs\v2.2.0\nrf\subsys\net\lib\aws_iot are not included in your project.

    I know but I am looking for a way to edit and reuse some libs without renaming all functions and configs in my local project. aws_iot libs were just a sample to elaborate on what I want to do.

    for example. If I remove aws_iot libs from the ncs folder, it will work for the project but I don't want to do that because if do that I can't use any more examples and projects depending on aws_iot libs. Is there any way to ignore zephyrOS, nrf libs for the project?

    CONFIG_AWS_IOT=n

    But if I set this config CONFIG_AWS_IOT=n in project files, I won't be able to use even my local aws_iot.c functions unless I configure/rename all functions and config definitions in the local aws_iot.c file. I think there should be some other easy way.

    Can you attach your project here for me to do a quick compile to understand the conflict in dependency a bit better?
