undefined reference to `main' in building phase

[raphael10-collab]

When building coreMQTT in Ubuntu 23.10 I get this error:

raphy@raohy:~/libpeer/dependencies/coreMQTT$ gcc -I source/include/ -DMQTT_DO_NOT_USE_CUSTOM_CONFIG -I source/interface/ source/core_mqtt.c source/core_mqtt_state.c source/core_mqtt_serializer.c -o coreMQTT
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/Scrt1.o: in function `_start':
(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

What am I doing wrong? How make it work?

You are trying to compile a library. The library is supposed to be used in an application and that is why it does not supply main.

You can look at these samples for learning how to use this library in an application - https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS/tree/main/FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo/coreMQTT_Windows_Simulator.
