Float lib within mplab x

[joli 0]

Is there any trick for float lib to work with mplab x?

The code below compiles ok in sourceboost editor but not in mplabx.

#include <system.h>
#include <float.h>
void main()
{
    float f = float32_mul(2.5, 2.5);
}    

Here is some errors when compiling this code in mplabx ide:

Error: Unresolved external function:'__mul_32_32(unsigned long,unsigned long)'

... same error above repeated n times !

Error: Unresolved external symbol, function:__mul_32_32

... same error above repeated n times !

make[2]: *** [dist/default/production/float.X.production.hex] Error -2
make[1]: *** [.build-conf] Error 2
make: *** [.build-impl] Error 2

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 5s)

float.pic18.lib was included as explained in the FoatMath.pdf page 9

• PIC18LF67K40 / c++ pro licence / sourceboost 4.43 / mplab x 4.15

Answering to my self.

Its working now.

Under mplabx the libraries should be added to the project through Project Properties and add it to BoostLink / Additional options.

By the way, the compiler/linker finish the job in about 3 minutes > 72 module_files / 273 functions - 4 core, i7, 2.8GHZ, 16gb_ram

The compiler takes 30 seconds. The rest of the time is spent by the linker (2.5 minutes)... It would be great if linker could be improved.

We would like to reproduce this and we don't need your source code.  Please email your project obj files and linker command line to support@sourceboost.com
