undefined reference to wiringpi

[fmas]

Hi team,

I know several posts have been made about this, but after looking through them I still cannot solve this issue. i am trying to control a stepper motor with wiringpi but when i try to compile i get the undefined reference to error for wiringpitsetupgpio, pinmode, digitalwrite and delay.

I compile in the terminal with this line:

Code: Select all

g++ -Wall -o stepper stepper.cpp -Iwiringpi

My code includes the wiringpi header and ive checked that the wiringpi folder is in the same directory as the text file. Ive also uninstalled and reinstalled wiringpi and upgraded and updated everything. I'm also a beginner to c++ and the rpi so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you meant

-lwiringpi

- lowercase L as it is a library.

You might need any or all of:

-L some/library/directory -I some/include/directory -lsomeLinraryName

depending what you are up to.

That is uppercase L, upper case I, and lowercase l
(Why are browser fonts so awful?)

See "man g++" for details (it's only about 15000 lines of text!) or ask google.

If you use wiringpi functions you need to link to the wiringpi library. Add

Code: Select all

-lwiringPi

The first letter is a lowercase "L" here and the P must be uppercase .

Code: Select all

-Iwiringpi

(with leading uppercase I and lowercase P) doesn't hurt, but shouldn't be required, if you have the Raspbian wiringpi development package installed (Raspbian Stretch with desktop has it if you didn't remove it).
