I have no idea what I am doing to get this error, or what it means.

clang -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c11 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-unused-variable -Wshadow helpers.c -lcrypt -lcs50 -lm -o helpers /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7.4.0/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o: In function _start': (.text+0x20): undefined reference tomain' clang-7: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) : recipe for target 'helpers' failed make: *** [helpers] Error 1

  • what was the command that you issued to compile the program? Which pset is this (by name, not number?)

  • this is PSET4 the blur section. All I am trying to do get my code to compile. It is really weird, I can compile my code, then when I attempt to compile it again, this happens and I have changed absolutely nothing.

  • Sorry, I added the section, not the name. The name is filter.

  • I'll ask again. What was the EXACT command that you used? What did you enter on the command line????

  • My apologies, Cliff! I am new to all of this. I was trying to "Make Helpers" I see below that I shouldn't have done that. Thank you for your help!

Be sure to make filter to compile the filter program which will incorporate your helpers.c changes. Don't try to make helpers since helpers.c is not a complete C program (it has no main function).
