Hi Team,
I’m getting this error while compile and build the code which has cjson,
I’m new to c code please help me with step by step, please find the response below
opt/swi/SWI9X07Y_02.37.07.00/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/libexec/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/7.3.0/real-ld: cannot find -lcjson
you can try this:
3.add the following line:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " json-c"
Make the yocto image
the include path now should be in yocto/build_bin/tmp/work/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/json-c/0.13-r0/image/usr/include/json-c/
you need to add the following in cflag:
-Iyocto/build_bin/tmp/work/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/json-c/0.13-r0/image/usr/include/json-c/
for the linker (-l parameter), you should point to this path
yocto/build_bin/tmp/work/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/json-c/0.13-r0/image/usr/lib/libjson-c.so.3.0.1

Hi @jyijyi ,
Thank you for the support, the library which i’m looking is GitHub - DaveGamble/cJSON: Ultralightweight JSON parser in ANSI C this one, can you generate for this, due to lack of knowledge I’m failing to build as per you instruction
The instruction says you can just copy cJSON.h and cJSON.c to your projects source
Do you find problem to compile it?
I have just tried this:
cjson.zip (37.9 KB)
I can compile by this:
owner@ubuntu:~/Downloads/cjson$ /opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o cjson.o cJSON.c test.c
Hi @jyijyi ,
I have landed in new issue, the gateway which I’m having is preloaded with readonly root file system no option to upload json-c new version of shared library now I need I need to generate libjson-c.so.3 and libjson-c.so.3.0.1 for x86, I have ARM complatible but getting the error below , please help
/opt/swi/SWI9X07Y_02.37.07.00/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/libexec/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/7.3.0/real-ld: cannot find -ljson-c
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
do you mean you want to put libjson-c.so.3 and libjson-c.so.3.0.1 in module’s /usr/lib folder?
If yes, you can first enter the following two commands to do overlay:
mkdir /tmp/tmp_usr_lib;mkdir /tmp/tmp_usr_lib_wr;
mount -t overlay overlay /usr/lib -o lowerdir=/usr/lib,upperdir=/tmp/tmp_usr_lib,workdir=/tmp/tmp_usr_lib_wr;
Hi @jyijyi
I manged to install libjson-c.a libjson-c.so libjson-c.so.3 libjson-c.so.3.0.1 and getting output but same libraries arm built when I tried to cross compile this is the error I’m getting error, below
/opt/swi/SWI9X07Y_02.37.07.00/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/libexec/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/7.3.0/real-ld: cannot find -ljson-c
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I have use -L/path also same issue
What could be the reason
can you post your sample code here?
How did you compile?
can you post the command you used to compile?
BTW, have you tried to put the .so library in the same folder of the source code?

cross compile commands below

$CC modbus_mqtt8.c -o out1.o -lmodbus -lmosquitto -ljson-c
please note inside gateway libjson-c.so.3 libjson-c.so.3.0.1 these are shared libraries available
So I installed same x86_64 version on my system also and gcc compile is successful (modbus_mqtt8.c -o out1.o -lmodbus -lmosquitto -ljson-c) i’m getting executable successfully
please note: aws-end point is there which i removed
I don’t see problem with this:

Hi @jyijyi
Thanks a lot, It work I successfully completed my work and submitted. Thanks you for the support since I’m not from embedded firmware background and not a C programmer though, your suggestions and lib file resolved my issue.
I’m curious to know one thing, I too has libjson-c.so.3 and libjson-c.so.3.0.1 for both x86 and arm they were in same folder though then why it didn’t worked and how you create that shared library ?
you are using the toolchain to cross compile, so you need to use libjson library cross-compiled for the application, and you cannot use the x86 library…
As mentioned above, i built the library in yocto linux source:
BTW, here teaches you how to debug when you see library cannot be found by linker:
e.g.
/opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/libexec/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/6.2.0/real-ld -ljson-c --verbose

Hi @jyijyi
Please find the attachment this shared lib, its ARM build only
I can compile with your library:
owner@ubuntu:~/Downloads/cjson/cjson_link_lib$ sudo cp ./libjson-c_novin.so.3 /opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/armv7a-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/libjson-c_novin.so
owner@ubuntu:~/Downloads/cjson/cjson_link_lib$ sudo /opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -ljson-c_novin -o cjson.o test2.c
Hi @jyijyi ,
Unfortunately it was not working when I did the same, but your library worked
