I'm trying to cross compile my application for the maemo environment (GNU). When compiling the application normally, everything works fine, however when it's compiled through sb2 the following warning comes up:
$ sb2 gcc -D_GNU_SORCE -o app -Wall -g -I.......//don't think this is relevant
In file included from wifi_collector_menu.c:50:
wifi_collector_list.c: In function `show_net_apns':
wifi_collector_list.c:777: warning: implicit declaration of function `getline'
I am completely confused as to why this happens, there are other getlines that do work in the program, i have tried to define the variable _GNU_SOURCE both inside the code and in the compiler command (not at the same time) This is the line of code which causes the warning apparently:
size_t bytesnum = MAX_ESSID;
size_t bytes_read;
char *netname = NULL;
printf("Enter name of selected network:");
bytes_read=getline(&netname,&bytesnum,stdin);//This line
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Problem solved, all I had to do was add:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
In each header file, before stdio.h was included, very simple really.
I guess this info is assumed known between programmers as i was unable to find it anywhere online, and had to ask my C programming professor personally, and even then we had some trouble tracing the source.
Thanks anyway.
