Linking Trouble

[ZEDHEADSDEAD]

Hi all,
I am constructing a GUI controller for a project on a raspberry Pi 3 B+ running Raspian. I need access to the PXL library to send a constant frequency to a Driver circuit on a tesla coil. I ran a sample program that came with PXL called Blinky and it worked perfectly. However, when I use the PXL library in my own projects it always gave me this error "cannot find crtbegin.o" and "cannot find crtend.o". So I included the folder these files are located in. Now it won't compile and says it can't find the pxl.boards.types. Has anyone else had this issue?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

There are two issues here:
1) The crtbegin.o and crtend.o are in the GCC library directories and are not related to this error. This can usually be ignored but on my Raspberry Pi 3 I add:
 -Fl/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/6.3.0 to fpc.cfg which is where they are located for my default GCC.
2) The pxl.boards.types is  a pascal unit that is not present or in the wrong place. http://asphyre.net/pxl/help/PXL.Boards.Types.html
So simply download the latest version of that library. Note that the sourcepath is case-sensitive: I have /home/pi/pxl/Source (with capital S)
also
- the basic opengles example crashes on fpc331 trunk (yes, resources are correct)
- the blink example works, but does not exit properly on key press..
Rest not tested. It seems Asphyre is not very stable, which surprises me a bit.

Seems reasonable. I'll tinker with it a bit and I'll let you know if i have any success.  Thank you muchly!

you make just have to correct the /path/to/source/ to /path/to/Source/
As I said, although it compiles on the Raspberry Pi it doesn't seem to be tested sufficiently on armhf.

FOUND IT! I was missing a path in the "unit files" section. Once I included the source it compiled.
