I am following the create intelligent Places webinar to try and add nvanlaytics meta data to deepstream app 5

I have followed the 5 steps but am getting the below error when running make:

deepstream_test5_app_main.c: undefined reference to my_custom_parse_nvdsanalytics_meta_data
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:64: recipe for target 'deepstream-test5-app' failed

Appears there is an issue with my cpp and c file linking. In my deepstream_test5_app_main.c I have added:

void my_custom_parse_nvdsanalytics_meta_data (NvDsMetaList *l_user, MyUserMeta *data);

I have then created a deepstream_nvdsanalytics_meta.cpp as below:

extern "C" void 
my_custom_parse_nvdsanalytics_meta_data (NvDsMetaList *l_user, MyUserMeta *data)
{
    std::stringstream out_string;
    NvDsUserMeta *user_meta = (NvDsUserMeta *) l_user->data;
    /* convert to metadata */
    NvDsAnalyticsFrameMeta *meta =
        (NvDsAnalyticsFrameMeta *) user_meta->user_meta_data;
    /* Get the labels from nvdsanalytics config file */
        data->lcc_cnt_entry = meta->objLCCumCnt["Entry"];
        data->lcc_cnt_exit = meta->objLCCumCnt["Exit"];
        data->lccum_cnt = meta->objLCCumCnt["Entry"] - meta->objLCCumCnt["Exit"];
}

// Add this structure at includes/myheader.h //

/*typedef struct
{
guint32 lcc_cnt_exit;
guint32 lcc_cnt_entry;
} MyUserMeta;
*/

The make file is:

APP:= deepstream-test5-app

TARGET_DEVICE = $(shell gcc -dumpmachine | cut -f1 -d -)

NVDS_VERSION:=5.0

What have I missed in linking the function? Thanks

I had the same error and haven’t been able to make it build either.

I checked that the Deepstream Test 5 built fine before editing the code.

Jetson Nano
Deepstream 5
Jetpack 4.4

Are you using DS 5.0 GA or DP?

I’m using
Jetpack 32.4.3
Deepstream 5.0 GA downloaded from here https://developer.nvidia.com/deepstream-getting-started does the developer preview have things that the GA doesn’t have?

change to

$(APP): $(OBJS) Makefile
	$(CXX) -o $(APP) $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
