Using Gcc Directly On The Z, Some troubles when linking... Options

[larrycow]

I'm trying to compile some world-hailing test program on my zaurus. I installed gcc and, as far as I know, everything needed. But when I'm trying to

CODE

arm-linux-gcc hello.c  -o hello

I got an ugly

CODE

/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.3/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.3/../../../libc.so: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.3/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld:/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.3/../../../libc.so:4: syntax error
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Would anyone understand this? And, better, explain me why?

Thanks alot.

Hi.

You should edit "/usr/lib/libc.so".


From

CODE

/*GNU ld script
 Use the shared library,but some functions are only in
 the static library,so try that secondarily. */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-littlearm)
GROUP( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a AS_NEEDED( /lib/ld-linux.so.2) )

To

CODE

/*GNU ld script
 Use the shared library,but some functions are only in
 the static library,so try that secondarily. */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-littlearm)
GROUP( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a  )

Bilding consists of this well in my environment .

[larrycow]

Actually, my /usr/lib/libc.so looks more like this:

CODE

/* GNU ld script
  Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
  the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
*** BUG in libc/scripts/output-format.sed *** elf32-bigarm,elf32-littlearm
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )

I guess the BUG line can explain a lot of things, but I can't see how to work around this.

I tried again on the new 3.5.4 release. Loads of packages to install, but at least it looks better (*-symlinks.ipk is the way...).

Still, I can't compile the simplest C program on Earth. Well, actually I can't link it. The linker told me that

CODE

root@collie:~# gcc -o hello hello.c
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.4/../../../../arm-linux/bin/ld: cannot find /lib/libc.so.6 inside /usr/bin/../../usr
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Would anyone have an idea?

Hoi,
I had a similar problem with libc6. You should check that you have libc6 installed.
If this is already the case, you should check that libc6.so.6 is in the path ...
