Undefined Reference

Undefined Reference

[Felipe Balbi]

Could anyone help me getting this bug fixed?
I've already git pull'd the new version of linux-omap-2.6 git tree and 
it didn't work at all.

isp1301.c is including linux/usb/otg.h, hcd.c exports the symbol 
usb_bus_start_enum wich is declared inside otg.h as extern.


drivers/built-in.o: In function `omap_otg_irq':
drivers/i2c/chips/isp1301_omap.c:851: undefined reference to 
`usb_bus_start_enum'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

undefined reference

[Andrew]

Good evening,

Trying to compile gqcam-0.8 or 0.9 on a Slackware-10.1 I get a lot of 
'undefined reference' messages about libpng.so. I have version 1.2.8 of 
libpng (the latest).

Does anyone know what is wrong?

TIA

Andrew

you forgot (or the configure script forgot) to add libz when lining with 
libpng ?

try to run
LDFLAGS=-lz ./configure

The source doesn't use config, only make.

I found and installed a .tgz, but the app won't start as it doesn't find
libpng.so.2. Is my libpng too recent? Can I install an older one
alongside? Or can I try a symlink? (Without my computer exploding).

ok. I downloaded the program
on the following line in the Makefile
LDFLAGS = `gtk-config --libs gthread` -ljpeg -lpthread -lpng
you should add -lz like this
LDFLAGS = `gtk-config --libs gthread` -ljpeg -lpthread -lpng -lz

Wow! (Lost for words)

Thanks

undefined reference

[Anthony Chee]

The case is quite complicated.

I am now developing a module. This module need communicate with the kernel.
So I exported a function func(), by using EXPORT_SYMBOL(func). In the header
file, I set "extern int func()".

I also modified the kernel source code, which is inode.c, and insert the
func() and the module header file.

After the above procedure, I use "make bzImage" to build the kernel. At the
compile stage, it does not appear warning message, but it appears in the
linking object stage, which is

fs/fs.o(.text+0x1377d): undefined reference to `func'

How can I solve this issue? Or any parameter for "ld" to avoid checking the
undefined reference?
Thanks.

The problem you face is that the kernel needs to know where foo is to
generate a the bytecode that calls it.  Here is a better scenario...

You expose an interface in the kernel such as

	typedef void (*func_t)(int);
	void register_func ( func_t func );
	EXPORT_SYMBOL (register_func);

Then in your modules you call 'register_func' and that will pass the
function in question to the kernel.  The kernel can then do whatever it
wants to that pointer (like call it).

Re: undefined reference

[Anthony Chee]

Or let me say clearly.

The suitution is I want the kernel source use the symbol from module.

What I did in the module code are:
1. EXPORT_SYMBOL(func) in the source code of module
2. Set "extern int func()" in the module header

What I did in the kernel source code are:
1. Insert "func()" in the inode.c
2. Add the module header in the kernel source code

Then I use "make bzImage", I got no error message on compiling inode.c, but
I got

"fs/fs.o(.text+0x1377d): undefined reference to `func'"

in the linking stage.

I also set condition inode.c to check the existing of module before calling
func()

Thanks

Regards,
Anthony

You cannot do that.  The kernel must be self contained.  The only way
for the kernel to access module code and data is for the module to
register that code and data when the module is loaded and for the
kernel to access the module via the registration list.

See any module that handles a filesystem.  sys_open() does not call the
module directly.  A module registers its file operations on load.  The
kernel (dentry_open) calls the module via f->f_op->open.

Thanks for your help. I use another apporach to communicate with module,
similiar to the method you stated above.

What I did in the kernel source,

1. In fs.h, I added one line in struct super_operations
            int (*query_module) (struct inode *);

2. In write_inode() of inode.c, added
            result = inode->i_sb->s_op->query_module(inode);

What I did in the module,

1. Build up my own function, kernel_query_module(struct inode *inode)

2. In init_module(), added
            struct super_block *sb_ptr;
            sb_ptr = get_super(MKDEV(8,1));          /* suppose I want to
get super_block of /dev/sda1 */
            sb_ptr -> s_op -> query_module = &kernel_query_module;

Then, I compile the module and didi not get error message
When I compile the kernel, I got the follow error message,

inode.c:195: structure has no member named `query_module'

It made me crazy. Why the module can access the s_op and register the
address of kernel_query_module, but not the kernel source? I already added
one more item in the struct super_operation, but got the error message the
struct has no such member.

Any thing I missed? Thanks.
