Extern param not resolved

[mlanesmith]

My first project, with code imported and massaged from MPLABX. Targeting MINI-PIC32MZ.

After clearing ALL compilation errors, I was asked to register my license; I did.

I now get "Extern param not resolved" from the Linker.

No file, line number = 0.

I even added an int param to see what happens.

Any hints as to where I should look?

Hi,

Can you please attach your project here ?

Hi Filip,

It’s a large project ported from Microchip’s IDE, but the obscure error can be reproduced with:

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
return 0;
}

FIX:

int main(void) {
return 0;
}

Perhaps the next person confused by that error will find this post?

Best,

Martin

Hi,

The main function does not have any parameters, therefor the error.

Regards,
Filip.

Perhaps the developers could improve the message.

The message is supposed to explain the mistake, rather than the mistake explaining the message.
