Question

i am trying to compile this code, but if i do using:

gcc prt.c portaudio.h -o prt

but i get this error:

main.c:47: undefined reference to `Pa_OpenDefaultStream'
main.c:62: undefined reference to `Pa_StartStream'
main.c:65: undefined reference to `Pa_Sleep'
main.c:66: undefined reference to `Pa_StopStream'
main.c:69: undefined reference to `Pa_CloseStream'
main.c:72: undefined reference to `Pa_Terminate'
main.c:78: undefined reference to `Pa_Terminate'

i don’t know why, then i though it might be beacuse i don’t have a rule (make file)
so i made one:

main: main.o
    gcc main.o -o main

main.o: main.c portaudio.h
    gcc -c main.c

but when i try to run it through cygwin: using “Make”
i get this message:

"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I don’t understand the problem, please help me is something wrong with my makefile or is there something else wrong.

also this is the code:
main.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include "portaudio.h"

#define SAMPLE_RATE (44100)


typedef struct
{
   float left_phase;
   float right_phase;
}

                       unsigned long framesPerBuffer,
                       const PaStreamCallbackTimeInfo* timeInfo,
                       PaStreamCallbackFlags statusFlags,
                       void *userData )
{
/* Cast data passed through stream to our structure. */
paTestData *data = (paTestData*)userData;
float *out = (float*)outputBuffer;
unsigned int i;
(void) inputBuffer; /* Prevent unused variable warning. */

for( i=0; i<framesPerBuffer; i++ )
{
    *out++ = data->left_phase;  /* left */
    *out++ = data->right_phase;  /* right */
    /* Generate simple sawtooth phaser that ranges between -1.0 and 1.0. */
    data->left_phase += 0.01f;
    /* When signal reaches top, drop back down. */
    if( data->left_phase >= 1.0f ) data->left_phase -= 2.0f;
    /* higher pitch so we can distinguish left and right. */
    data->right_phase += 0.03f;
    if( data->right_phase >= 1.0f ) data->right_phase -= 2.0f;
}
return 0;
}

                        return err;




   }

and the header file portaudio.h: Portaudio.h
if you want cleaner view of main.c: main.c

I am not so sure why these messages/errors/warning are coming, please help.

also this is my folder view:

Answer 1

You seem to be using functions from a library for the ‘Port Audio’ facility, but your link line does not tell the C compiler how to find that library – so the functions show up as undefined references.

Your link line should look something like:

gcc -o main main.o -lpa

That should be macroized, but the gist is correct.

This assumes the library is in ‘libpa.a’ or thereabouts. If it is in ‘libportaudio.so’, then use -lportaudio instead of -lpa.

Using macros in the makefile:

PROGRAM = main
SOURCE  = main.c
OBJECT  = $(SOURCE:.c=.o)
LIBDIR  = /cygdrive/c/installdir/portaudio/lib
LIBRARY = $(LIBDIR)/portaudio_x86.lib

$(PROGRAM): $(OBJECT)
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJECT) $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBRARY)


main.o: main.c portaudio.h

You should not need an explicit compilation command for main.o; make should be able to deduce that from its internal rules. Note that the character before $(CC) must be a TAB and not spaces.
