Hi,

Yes, but does the file exist? We recently changed the location of the
installed pic14/pic16 libraries and headers due to licence issues. That's
why I wrote "updated path to sdcc's pic16 libs": they moved from your path
/usr/share/sdcc/lib/pic16 to /usr/share/sdcc/non-free/lib/pic16 .
Please verify that /usr/share/sdcc/non-free/lib/pic16/libc18f.lib exists.

I misinterpreted the error output: The failing command is not "sdcc -c
main.c -o main.o" (I overlooked the -c) but the link command:

>>> mkdir -p dist/default/production
>>> /usr/local/bin/sdcc  --debug-ralloc -Wl-c -Wl-m --pstack-model=large
>>> --pno-banksel --extended --obanksel=2 -L /usr/share/sdcc/lib/pic16 -L
>>> /usr/share/sdcc/lib/small -I/usr/share/sdcc/include
>>> -I/usr/share/sdcc/include/pic16/   -mpic16 -p18f4550
>>> build/default/production/main.o
>>> -odist/default/production/Pic18F4550Test.X.production.cof
>>> make[2]: *** [dist/default/production/Pic18F4550Test.X.production.cof]
>>> Error 1
>>> error: missing definition for symbol "_strcpy", required by
>>> "build/default/production/main.o"

The problem here is that sdcc does not compile main.c first but only
invokes the linker. That way, sdcc does *not* add libc18f.lib to the list
of libraries to link against (there is a #pragma libc present in all
libc-headers that cause "sdcc main.c -o main.hex" to compile and
automatically link against libc18f.lib; however, the #pragma is not seen
when just looking at main.o ...).
You need to append libc18f.lib to the linker command line. Also make sure
to either include --use-non-free or the correct -L /path/to/libc18f.lib.

Good luck
