    Linker error undefined reference to .....

    Hullo everyone,

    i have declared a function in the same source file where my main function is. I have added the header files where the function is implemented but when i compile my code, i get linker errors "undefined reference to ....". Can someone please help me. Thanks.


    Code:
    int main()
    {
        alt_fd* fd = NULL ; //needs to be initialized with some value
        typedef struct altera_16550_uart_state_s altera_16550_uart_state;
        altera_16550_uart_state* sp;
        struct alt_dev_s alt_dev;
        alt_u32 irq_controller_id;
        alt_u32 irq;
        
         /*Open File Descriptor*/
    
         int file_desc = alt_dev.open(fd,"/dev/ttyUSB0",0,O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK);
    
           //Error Handling
    	if ( file_desc < 0 )
    	{
    	printf("Error beim oeffnen");
    	}
       
       altera_16550_uart_init(sp,irq_controller_id,irq);
       
    
        return 0;
    }
    
    void altera_16550_uart_init(altera_16550_uart_state* sp, alt_u32 irq_controller_id,  alt_u32 irq)
    {

    Looks like you may be confusing altera_16550_uart_init and alt_16550_uart_init

    Re: Linker error undefined reference to .....

    Code:
    extern alt_llist alt_16550_uart_list;
    This is a declaration of the variable alt_16550_uart_list. Where is this variable defined?
