Hi All,

I know there's a few programmers out here that have written C programs using OpenDoors.

I'm trying to learn how this works, and have started using Visual Studio
Code. I've got a small "door game" written, but I'm getting errors when
trying to compile it.

Here is my awesome door game... ;)

int main()
{
od_printf("Welcome to my first door program!\n\r");
od_printf("Press a key to return to BBS!\n\r");
od_get_key(TRUE);
od_exit(0, FALSE);
return 0;
}

I do have the #include "OpenDoor.h", and it should be finding it, as it isn't giving me that error anymore... Here is what I am getting:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccAVxTuQ.o: in function 'main':
main.c:(.text+0x11): undefined reference to 'od_printf'
/usr/bin/ld: main.c:(.text+0x22): undefined reference to 'od_printf'
/usr/bin/ld: main.c:(.text+0x2c): undefined reference to 'od_get_key'
/usr/bin/ld: main.c:(.text+0x3b): undefined reference to 'od_exit'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm guessing it's because I don't have ODoors located in the /usr/lib, but
I'm not sure. Also, in the ODoors docs, it mentions having to set up the
linker to the libraries. Which libraries do I use for Linux, and how are
those set up in VSCode?

Sorry for sounding like a newbie, but I am with C...

Thanks

It doesn't haven't to be in /usr/lib or any other specific directory. If ODoors
is built/used as a shared object (.so file), then it's certainly easier if it's in a directory that's expressed in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, but not strictly necessary.

If you're building/using ODoors as a static-link library (.a file), then you don't need it anywhere specific, but the linker (gcc, g++ or ld) does need to be able to find it. And you to have to use the -l option to tell the linker to link with it in the first place (e.g. -lodoors).

Got it now. I had an old version, so I grabbed the copy that you have in your CVS, and didn't have any issues...

Thank you.
