Conflicting symbols for timer

[BeardPower]

Hi there,

I was trying to use lib-musl for some tests.
Unfortunately it clashes with uktimer (it includes timer headers from musl).
/usr/bin/ld: /home/beardpower/.unikraft/apps/app-helloworld/build/libmusl.o: in function timer_create': /home/beardpower/.unikraft/apps/app-helloworld/build/libmusl/origin/musl-1.1.19//src/time/timer_create.c:82: multiple definition of timer_create'; /home/beardpower/.unikraft/apps/app-helloworld/build/libuktime.o:/home/beardpower/.unikraft/unikraft/lib/uktime/timer.c:42: first defined here

scandir has the same issue:
/home/beardpower/.unikraft/apps/app-helloworld/build/libvfscore.o:/home/beardpower/.unikraft/unikraft/lib/vfscore/main.c

Is this a known issue? I inline the code, but the errors did not disappear. Would it be a better approach to define the functions in a header file?

Thanks!

Hi!

cc'ing @razvand @gaulthiergain @cffs and @skuenzer -- these guys are currently working on bringing musl into stability for Unikraft and can help answer your question. :)

Hi, @BeardPower

Could you share a repository with your build configuration and source code? I'm also cc'ing @dragosargint who worked on Musl and can assist you.
