Kindergarten printf question

[lpcware]

After exercising demo programs (blinky etc) and creating a few simple projects, I lifted an example from the forum which happens to use printf.  It fails to link unless I comment out the printf statements. Upon discovering this, I inserted a printf into  "LPC1343_cmsis2_blinky" and witnessed the same failure. The only clues I am aware of  ( as a Rookie)  are a series of undefined references  being called out by the linker. Here's an example

c:/nxp/lpcxpresso_4.2.0_264/lpcxpresso/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.5.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/lib/thumb2\libcr_c.a(_writebuf.o): In function `_Cwritebuf':
_writebuf.c:(.text._Cwritebuf+0x18): undefined reference to `__sys_flen'
_writebuf.c:(.text._Cwritebuf+0x2e): undefined reference to `__sys_seek'
_writebuf.c:(.text._Cwritebuf+0x56): undefined reference to `__sys_write'

I'll appreciate any help on this seemingly trivial problem.

Glad to hear you solved your problem. But it sounds like you missed the easy way to switch an existing project to use the semihosted variant of the C library....
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]
Quickstart -> Quick Settings -> Set library type[/SIZE][/FONT]

which is at the top of the FAQ at:

http://support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/SwitchingCLibrary

I've tweaked the FAQ to make this shortcut more obvious.

Regards,
CodeRedSupport.

Thanks to all for your help. The magic solution was to have project defined as
RedLib (Semi Hosting).  It's an option you can specify when using project wizard. In my case, I had to modify project options by following a rather  convoluted series of steps outlined in the Code Red forum link as provided by ZERO.

@Hass....Hi...!!

Try with the following link and please add the required header file,like #include<stdio.h> and #include<stdlib.h>

Hope this helps you.


Thanks & Regards..:)

Thank you for your guidance. I had searched  Code Red and NXP wiki/forums  without success before posting. The magic words seem to be "Undefined reference" which of course I did not include. Sorry to bother you all with this, but after spending a half day spinning my wheels, it was time to do something.
Thanks again
