Precompiled library. ld.exe: cannot find -lArduinoSTL

Development Tools IDE 2.x

Hi,

I built ArduinoSTL.a following this guide

It is in the required place

image1011×169 6.38 KB

However, the linker says it cannot find it.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Frank

Hi @frank_11. You missed this step in the tutorial:

https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Software-Static-Library/#:~:text=cortex-m4.-,Rename%20the%20.a%20file,-%2C%20appending%20"lib"%20to

Rename the .a file, appending "lib" to the start of the name. In my case, it becomes libSeeed_Arduino_LIS3DHTR.a .

Rename the ArduinoSTL.a file to libArduinoSTL.a and then try compiling your sketch again. Hopefully it will work as expected this time.

Of course I did. Works like a charm now. Thank you !

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
