I made exactly the same mistake - you previously typed "make" in the apps
directory, which creates a lang.c file.

Now, when you try and compile in your build directory, you get another copy
of lang.c, and the linker tries to link both copies - hence the "multiple
definition" error.

The solution is simply to delete lang.c from the apps directory.

Dave.
