2.2.2 Compiling and Linking
1 Start the Linux (Debian) virtual machine in the VM Player.
2 Open a Bash Shell window by clicking on the B
ASH S HELL icon on the main page.
3 Once in the shell, change the directory to one of the samples. In this case, change the
directory to get to the LED_sample program. Type:
cd /workspace/mvi69e-ldm/src/LDM/led_sample$
4 To recompile and link, simply type:
make
In this case, the executable is up to date and nothing needs to be done.
5 If the source is changed, the make utility detects the newer time on the source file and
rebuilds the application. The following example uses the Touch utility to cause the date
of a file (
led_sample.c) to be updated as if the file had been changed, and make is re-
invoked. Make detects this change, recompiles and re-links the application.
