Xcode duplicate symbol '_main'

70 views Asked by At

I have a bunch of .O files that I generated from a makefile.u which compiles some .C files. I put all of the .O files into my Xcode project and I receive the below error when it builds:

duplicate symbol '_main' in:
     /Users/.../Objects-normal/arm64/AppDelegate.o
     /Users/.../LIBF2C/main.o
ld: 1 duplicate symbol for architecture arm64

I think I am bit confused because the main.o file is needed for my library, but the error seems to be telling me that I cannot have _main declared twice. So is there a solution for this, am I supposed to rename something to get it to build or any other ideas for how this can get resolved?

For some added context, this is specifically for the f2c libraries. So main.c(->main.o) from libf2c is:
