Until discovering KDevelop I spent too much time relying on Eclipse once I configured it to just work. And it did and it does. But eventually I’d like to move away from Eclipse to KDevelop. Meanwhile, I was not able to compile using my other default build system of (GNU) Make and a Makefile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why you “get real” as many developer often suggest. It had been a while since I built to the target device (GameShell) and clearly I added content to the project that didn’t build correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the basic\/real issue here is that the build system using Make was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After trying a lot of other fancier solutions, I decided to whittle down the problem domain to the simplest problem. And also heeding the advice of other developers I did so by ditching the IDE’s altogether, if only temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a while trying different things just on the command line in vim and directly using cmake, make, g++, gcc, and g++ yesterday but never quite got to the answer. It was mostly just figuring out what didn’t work. Today I ran across a Stack Overflow post where someone was trying to mix .c and .cpp files in their Makefile. I noticed a curious thing that they were able to use g++ instead of gcc to compile their c source code along with c++. So I added a build object for cJSON.c, the source that gave me these errors and it compiled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Errr…well at least it compiled. (This error is actually from a previous commit hash that lacked the new offending code. Turns out the error causing the segfault was actually just needing to run a make clean<\/code> before running make again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
