GetSysTime() fails to find TimerBase

[TCH]

I'm trying to use

GetSysTime()

, but i get back these messages from the compiler:

/opt/amiga/lib/gcc/m68k-amigaos/6.5.0b/../../../../m68k-amigaos/bin/ld: /tmp/ccb4VwWC.o: in function `main':
/tmp/ccb4VwWC.o:(.text+0x21c): undefined reference to `TimerBase'
/opt/amiga/lib/gcc/m68k-amigaos/6.5.0b/../../../../m68k-amigaos/bin/ld: /tmp/ccb4VwWC.o:(.text+0x1fe): undefined reference to `TimerBase'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Actually, if i try to build it with SASC, it also fails to find

TimerBase

.

proto/timer.h

is included.
The following initializations are done before it:

mp = CreateMsgPort();
tr = (struct timerequest *)CreateIORequest(mp, sizeof(struct timerequest));
OpenDevice(TIMERNAME, UNIT_MICROHZ, (struct IORequest *)tr, 0);

What else should be needed?

I'm guessing you need something like that:

static struct Device *TimerBase;

if (!TimerBase)
	TimerBase = (struct Device *)FindName(&SysBase->DeviceList,"timer.device");

Without seeing the code and depending of what you are trying to do sometimes you don't even need to create a msgport.

Well, it was

static struct Device *TimerBase = tr->tr_node.io_Device;

but you're right, manually adding the declaration solved the problems, thank you.
