Issues compiling example C programs

Post by jsch » Fri May 27, 2022 10:13 pm

Hello, newbie here.
I am trying to run the trigger.c program shared in this post a while back

https://forum.redpitaya.com/viewtopic.php?t=355
(or on github at) https://github.com/Grozomah/trigger

I have a STEMlab 125-14 on which I have installed the latest stable SD card image. I followed the instructions for compiling and running C programs here https://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... .html#comc

However after cloning the RedPitaya repo, going to the Examples/C directory and trying to compile the example script with

Code: Select all

$ make digital_led_blink
I got an error:

Code: Select all

redpitaya/rp.h: No such file or directory found
.

I found this thread which seems to try to address this issue:
https://forum.redpitaya.com/viewtopic.php?t=1411,

After doing

Code: Select all

$ cd RedPitaya
$ make api
I get the output

Code: Select all

Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: /root/RedPitaya/build/lib/librp-hw.so
-- Up-to-date: /root/RedPitaya/build/include
-- Installing: /root/RedPitaya/build/include/rp_hw.h
-- Installing: /root/RedPitaya/build/lib/librp-hw.a
-- Up-to-date: /root/RedPitaya/build/include
-- Up-to-date: /root/RedPitaya/build/include/rp_hw.h
Going back to Examples/C and running

Code: Select all

$ make digitial_led_blink
again I get

Code: Select all

cc -g -std=gnu11 -Wall -Werror -I/opt/redpitaya/include  -L/opt/redpitaya/lib  digital_led_blink.c  -static -lrp -lrp-hw -lm -lstdc++ -lpthread -o digital_led_blink
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrp-hw
I noticed that the compiler is looking under /opt, so instead I also tried doing

Code: Select all

gcc -g -std=gnu99 -I/root/RedPitaya/api/include/ -L/root/RedPitaya/api/lib/ -lrp -lm -o digital_led_blink digital_led_blink.c
This failed with

Code: Select all

fatal error: rp.h: No such file or directory
.
Any advice for how to properly compile these scripts would be very appreciated! Sorry in advance if the answer is obvious. Hopefully if I learn to compile digital_led_blink.c, then compiling the script I want to run (trigger.c) will be more straight forward. Thank you!

EDIT:
I accidentally wrote that the include and lib paths I used were at

Code: Select all

/root/RedPitaya/api/
, but I meant

Code: Select all

/root/RedPitaya/build/
.

If I change the following lines in the Makefile like

Code: Select all

CFLAGS += -I/root/RedPitaya/build/include
LDFLAGS = -L/opt/RedPitaya/build/lib
I get the following error when I try to make $digital_led_blink.c"

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrp
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrp-hw
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
<builtin>: recipe for target 'digital_led_blink' failed
make: *** [digital_led_blink] Error 1
I have that

Code: Select all

$ ls /root/RedPitaya/build/lib/
librp.a  librp-hw.a  librp-hw.so  librp.so
and

Code: Select all

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/root/RedPitaya/build/lib

Please note that the instructions are in our documentation here; and they do work.

Hello, Thank you for the response. I have gone through the instructions in the provided link line by line on a rp with a fresh OS install and I get the following error when I try to compile the example script:

Code: Select all

# make digital_led_blink
cc -g -std=gnu11 -Wall -Werror -I/opt/redpitaya/include  -L/opt/redpitaya/lib  digital_led_blink.c  -static -lrp -lrp-hw -lm -lstdc++ -lpthread -o digital_led_blink
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrp-hw
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
<builtin>: recipe for target 'digital_led_blink' failed
make: *** [digital_led_blink] Error 1
Any help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I tried this on both the stable version 1.04-11 and the beta version 1.04-18.

I did find your error is produced with the stable version 1.04-11.

I've been using the beta version since it came out in April without any problems.
The examples compile and run on the beta version 1.04-18.

Hi M0JPI,

Thanks for the response. If I simply remove the -lrp-hw library from the compilation, it seems to compile and run fine. I guess the stable version just doesn't have the lrp-hw file?

I'm not sure what the difference is, but both versions seem to include -lrp-hw. On the beta OS make produces the following result:

Code: Select all

# make digital_led_blink
cc -g -std=gnu11 -Wall -Werror -I/opt/redpitaya/include  -L/opt/redpitaya/lib  digital_led_blink.c  -static -lrp -lrp-hw -lm -lstdc++ -lpthread -o digital_led_blink

I see, thank you for checking that the beta version works. I guess I'm now onto the bigger task of compiling the trigger.c script described in my original post and found here https://github.com/Grozomah/trigger or described in this post from 2014 https://forum.redpitaya.com/viewtopic.php?t=355. Cloning the repo and trying to run

Code: Select all

$ make trigger
, I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

gcc   trigger.o   -o trigger
/usr/bin/ld: error: trigger uses VFP register arguments, trigger.o does not
/usr/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file trigger.o
trigger.o: In function `main':

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
<builtin>: recipe for target 'trigger' failed
make: *** [trigger] Error 1
The fpga_osc.h file included in trigger.c seems to declare all the functions that the compilation complains about as "undefined references". If somebody more knowledgeable about C compilation could offer some advice, that would be very appreciated. Sorry if the question is basic, I am not well versed in these things!

Today is a learning day for me, the problem seems to be that the Github repository included the compiled output, and some of it was build for ARM soft-float and there was a mixture of Arm hard-float and soft-float. The Red Pitaya boards all use ARM hard-float.

Deleting the previously complied output still in the repo fixed the problem for me and allows make to compile make (all).

Code: Select all

root@rp:/home/redpitaya/trigger# rm trig *.o
root@rp:/home/redpitaya/trigger# make
gcc -c -g -std=gnu99 -Wall -Werror -DVERSION=0.00-0000 -DREVISION=devbuild trigger.c -o trigger.o
