Hello everyone,
I am a student working on interfacing a firewire camera with a linux machine. I am able to successfully compile my files (timer.cpp and test_timer.cpp) (they are called timers because i am testing the latency of the camera). Anyways, my problem is that I first type in:
g++ -c -lrt timer.cpp test_timer.cpp
then:
g++ -lrt -o -lrt test_timer timer.o test_timer.o -lraw1394 -ldc1394
which results in the following errors/messages:

I've been looking around on the internet for a solution and the problem is quite common but I am for lack of a better word a noob times 2 when it comes to programming and don't really understand how to fix this issue. Most of the above functions are declared once and my header file is simply:
#ifndef TIMER_H_
#define TIMER_H_
#include <string> // Required for clock access
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
double curTime();
class Timer {
public:
Timer(const int numberOfTimers);
~Timer();
void tic();
double toc();
void tic(int timernum);
double toc(int timernum);
private:
int nTimers;
timespec *ts0, *ts1;
};
#endif /*TIMER_H_*/Any help you could give me is much appreciated as I am already a month behind in my work....
Thanks in advance.
