IDE: Water 10.0.0.2331
Version: Version 10.0.0.2331 (develop) built on talax, 20180928-142533. Commit 8e4eb02
Target: Island (Linux)
Description: Although the mknod function is present in rtl, calling it in a program (C# in my case, but probably irrilevant) causes a build error:

E: undefined symbol: mknod

This happens for both x86_64 and armv6 architectures.

Expected Behavior: The program should build.

Actual Behavior: The above-mentioned build error is issued.

Steps:

  • Create a new C# Island project in Water, using the “Console Application (Linux)” template
  • Replace the contents of Program.cs with the following:
    namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    static class Program
    {
        public static Int32 Main(string[] args)
        {
            rtl.mknod("/tmp/testfile", 0b_111_111_111, 0);
            return 0;
        }
    }
}
  • Build for your choice of architecture(s). Notice the error in the build log,

see my fix here: https://github.com/remobjects/IslandRTL/commit/af3366a43976d314de71094d6bda72b106eb10af

this is a special libgcc_s function it seems (which we don’t link in). But the implementation is simple, it just calls __xmknod, so as a temporary workaround you can call it directly.

Thanks a lot @ck for the fix! I’ll be sure to check it out as soon as I can.

I assume, by the way, that you already checked that _MKNOD_VER equals 0 in the libc you’re linking.:wink:

yeah :slight_smile:
