    How do I make the "-lc" linker option work?

    I added "-lc" (with the quotes and I tried without) to the "Additional Linker options" section of the Linker settings tab.
    Linker is set to GNU (not Segger)
    I also installed the additional C++ libs in the package manager (not sure if this was necessary or not..) IDE version 7.10a

    Reason I'm trying to set this is to bypass this error >> undefined reference to `__libc_init_array' to which I have never been able to find a satisfactory fix (unless I use another IDE which I won't mention)

    I did see in another thread a fix for undefined reference to `__libc_init_array' but the help/fix was too vague so i couldn't replicate fix..

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    This does not sound like the right approach to tackle the issue you are seeing. Currently it sounds more like a project setup issue.
    The toolchain should provide all necessary libc symbols out of the box.

    Could you provide a small example project that shows the "undefined reference to `__libc_init_array'" error?

    On another note. Is there a specific reason you are using the gnu linker instead of the SEGGER linker?
    Is there some feature missing or did something not work?

    Best regards,
    Nino
