Trouble compiling demo project CORTEX_LM3S811 with timer support (tasks.c:(.text+0x2e8): undefined reference to `xTimerCreateTimerTask')

Kernel
#1

so this is what i added to the FreeRTOSConfig.h:

#define configUSE_TIMERS				1
#define configTIMER_TASK_PRIORITY			(configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1)
#define configTIMER_TASK_STACK_DEPTH		(configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE * 2)
#define configTIMER_QUEUE_LENGTH			10

and then when i compile it ends with:
< A LOT OF POSSIBLY NOT INLINABLE FUNCTIONS>

arm-none-eabi-ld: gcc/tasks.o: in function `vTaskStartScheduler':
tasks.c:(.text+0x2e8): undefined reference to `xTimerCreateTimerTask'
make: *** [makedefs:191: gcc/RTOSDemo.axf] Error 1

the weird thing is: that is a linker error i think, so gcc did find the xTimerCreateTimerTask. which it should’ve, because timers.c is in the project, timers.h is included in tasks.c and timers.h also has xTimerCreateTimerTask

How can you be sure timers.c is being built? If you are building this (very old) makefile then timers.c is not included by default - did you add it?https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS/blob/master/FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_LM3S811_GCC/Makefile

thanks for being critical and not blindly following what i said: you’re right: i forgot to add it to the OBJ of the makefile. guess i got a bit too lazy and expected this to be a automatic object finding script (like %.o: )

guess that’s my next step: convert the makefile!
