3621 :: "multiple definition" Problem

• DTxplorer (orginal) [2018-03-08T23:10:12+01:00] view original

  Hello I try to use the stb_image lib.

  I made this minimal test for my question.

  import stb_image/read as stbi
  
  var width, height, nrChannels:int
  var test = stbi.load("some_image.jpg", width, height, nrChannels, stbi.Default)
  Run

  The compiler prints tons of errors like this.

  
  /some_path/nimcache/read.o: In function `stbi_image_free':
  read.c:(.text+0x4bd): multiple definition of `stbi_image_free'
  Run

  One for every stbi function.

  I just basically write the stbi readme example. I don't understand why this problem occurs.

  The error message hints about name conflict within generated C sources. For the specific, I don't know.

  I solved this by adding the "stb_image.nimble" file in my project folder (I had just the "stb_image" folder). I haven't the motivation to investigate what happened exactly, but anyway, that works.
