Hi not sure if you are still looking for an answer for this, but I ran into the very same issue and realised what was wrong thanks to (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19964206/weird-posix-message-queue-linking-issue-sometimes-it-doesnt-link-correctly) , that the rt library needs to be at the end of the link step command line so on line 39 you want:
gcc -pthread -o"FreeRTOS_Posix" $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS) -lrt
note the "-lrt" is at the end of the line not beginning.

@maks What can I say besides what @pietv said?
Your advice also helped me.
I still have a lot of problems but I think that all of them are warnings.
But definitely the link error has disappeared :)

Hi, I'm trying to run the Linux/POSIX FreeRTOS simulator on my Linux (running Ubunto Bionic Beaver 18.04), but can't seem to get it to work. I've made the exact changes you've proposed, within the FreeRTOS_POSIX/Release/makefile file. However the output is still the same:

Just wondering if there's any other steps I should take? Thanks!!!

Solved my Issue! For anyone else who has similar struggles:

The main problem was that I could modify the makefile (either in Debug/ or Release/ of the FreeRTOS_POSIX project), and it would build fine from the command line, but whenever I tried it from Eclipse it would fail and RESET that line 39 back to having -lrt where it was originally.

SO, you have to disable that setting in Eclipse: Go to Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Builder Settings, and UNCHECK "Generate makefiles automatically"!

Hope this helps someone! Was a pain in the ass to figure out

I faced this issue today . This is due to the linker error . I resolved it as follows :-

go to the make file of the project :-

to the tool invocation section of the makefile

the default linker command will be "gcc -pthread -lrt -o "FreeRTOS_Posix" $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS)"

replace it with "gcc -pthread -o"FreeRTOS_Posix" $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS) -lrt"

save the make file.

  1. Right click on the project and navigate to properties c/c++ build option .
  2. Uncheck Generate make files automatically .

If this option is enabled this will update the linker file automatically with gcc -pthread -o"FreeRTOS_Posix" $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS) -lrt .

so keep this option disabled .

compile and you are good to go .

Even more simple:
Inside Eclipse, Go to C/C++Build/Settinhs/Tool Settings/GCCLInker/Miscellaneous/
and add
-lrt
into the "Other Objects" window.

Same issue under Ubuntu 18.04, both native and under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), when trying to build either the "Release" or "Debug" versions of the "FreeRTOS_Posix" smoke-test program, using GCC "make" and "makefile" in either folder.

Move the "-lrt" switch to the end of the "gcc" invocation in the file "makefile", to read...

gcc -pthread -o"FreeRTOS_Posix" $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS) -lrt

Why hasn't someone fixed the official FreeRTOS release?

I have no idea. I faced this issue and resolved it
