Question

I am having an issue with Atmel Studio 6.1 where I can not compile due to multiple definition errors, this seems to be caused by the linker duplication "Libraries/lib_mcu/can/can_isp_protocol.o Libraries/lib_mcu/can/can_isp_protocol.o" Does anyone know why it might be doing this? Below is a listing of the compiler output.

La solution

The linker has Libraries/lib_mcu/can/can_isp_protocol.o two times on its command line. Linking fails, because of duplicate definitions.

As I am not using Atmel Studio 6, I cannot describe the exact steps to remove the duplicate.

  1. You have possibly added can_isp_protocol.c two times to the project. Check your list of files in the project. Check your linker settings in your project options.

  2. It probably turns up twice as well in the (generated/manually created) Makefile: Search for OBJECTS or OBJS (generally speaking search for can_isp_protocol, without extension), it could look like this:

OBJECTS = can_isp_protocol.o can_isp_protocol.o x.o y.o
