I copied the source code for bounce.c and tried to compile it, but I got these errors. This also happens for other programs that use the SPL. 

jharvard@appliance (~/new): make bounce
clang -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c99 -Wall -Werror    bounce.c  -lcs50 -lm -o bounce

You need to link the spl library using the -l option. Your compilation command should look like this

clang -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c99 -Wall -Werror  bounce.c  -lcs50 -lcs -lm -o bounce

If you want to use make, a quick trick is to copy the Makefile from breakout and paste it into the same directory as your bounce.c, then open it, replace every occurrence of breakout to bounce, save it and try executing

make bounce

  • I did what you said @Kareem with the compilation command, and instead of getting a whole list of errors like what ahmed got, I get just one error message: "bounce.c:7:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror, -Wreturn-type]" My code is: #include <spl/gevents.h> //#include <spl/gobjects.h> //#include <spl/gwindow.h> int main(void) { printf("asdf\n"); } If I include just one library or all 3, I get the same error.

  • Oops, it won't let me edit for my second question. What do you mean by copy the makefile from breakout?

  • @AustinKim this error is different. See this for more info!
