My Raspberry Pi 4 B is running Raspberry Pi OS. I am trying to compile and run ABE_ADCDACPi.c.
However, I keep getting all sorts of various errors. I believe I am correct in compiling it by using -nostartfiles as the .c and .h files do not use the make function commonly found in C programs. This appears to work and creates a file called a.out, however I can't run it. If someone could explain to me clearly how to compile and execute this code I would be extremely grateful. I am a total beginner when it comes to this, I just need to run this code for a project I am working on. Thanks

Hello
Can you try compiling the demo-adcread.c program in the same directory as the ABE_ADCDACPi.c file?
Use the command "gcc ABE_ADCDACPi.c demo-adcread.c -o demo-adcread" to create an executable file called demo-adcread
If the demo file compiles and runs then it is probably the -nostartfiles parameter that is causing the problems with your program.

After attempting this I get a huge list of errors saying "error: stray '\1' in the program" etc

It looks like the program files have somehow picked up some stray characters which are causing the compiler to fail.
Can you try cloning a new copy of our GitHub repository onto your Raspberry Pi using the command below and see if that has the same issues?
