Hi George,
If I understood correctly, the module compiles correctly. When you
start/run the graph it complains it can not find/'see' the function.
This could be related to default visibility of the objects. If you look at
the code for your block my_adder_ff, there should be a line similar to
class *TUTORIAL_API *my_adder_ff { ....
The TUTORIAL_API (or whatever it is called) is a macro defined in api.h and
eventually evaluates (for GNUC) to
__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))
which ensures visibility to other modules. You can check the built library
for your module using nm command, e.g.(I'm just guessing library name
libTutorial.so)
$ nm -C libTutorial.so | grep -i my_add
If the function is 'qualified' with t (lower case) it will not be visible.
If it is qualified with uppercase 'T', then it is visible
An easy thing to try to fix is to add to the function declaration in the
header file
float *TUTORIAL_API *my_add(float, float)
and rebuild.
If curious about the visibility attribute, there is nice bit of an
explanation in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52719364/how-to-use-the-attribute-visibilitydefault
Hope that made sense
Cheers
Boris
