This is Slackware 14.1 Linux.
During compiling it always fail at
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lexecinfo
Is there a library missing?
The problem is I don't know the exact file name it's looking for, I have a
/usr/include/execinfo.h
Any help will be appreciated.
If the program is trying to use backtrace(3) or the like, then it's likely you do not actually need the -lexecinfo option to compile the source. Edit your Makefile and try removing it as see if it will build.

I am trying to install a hydrodynamic simulation software on Ubuntu, but I get an error similar to the error mentioned in their documentation. The documentation has a recommended solution to this error, something that I am not aware of how to fix.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
As part of the installation, the system must compile some code to work on that machine. The line that starts with "gcc" is a compiler command. You will need to find the "x.sys.Linux.compile" file and add the -fPIC flag to the command that -presumably- is already in that file.
I would use the command
find . | grep x.sys.Linux.compile
to find it and then use vim to modify it, adding that -fPIC flag
Then, retry the installation
I have a project writed for DEC Unix v4. I want to compile it for linux.
My project have Imakefile, I run xmkmf to generate Makefile and after that run make to compile but I get Makefile:1059: *** missing separator. Stop.
When I see this post I installed SparkyLinux and install CDE and libmotif-dev on it for Motif and CDE and again I am going to generate Makefile and run make, but my problem still
line 1059: MComplexProgramTarget(_gdsv_.o,$(LOCAL_LIBRARIES),)
That line is valid in an Imakefile, but not in a Makefile. It looks like a macro for the C preprocessor. When the preprocessor does not find a definition for a macro, it leaves it as-is.
The next question is therefore: Why is the macro MComplexProgramTarget undefined, and which file defines it usually?
To answer this, you need to know where imake reads its definition files ("strace -f xmkmf" can help you with this), and in which file does this word appear?
The most probable thing is that you have lead to some incompatibility issue with gmake, which should be the make version you are using. Install BSD make and use it to build the system. Probably this will solve your problem (or not, but I have had this kind of problems) Depending on the platform, the package is called bmake or pmake.
I have instaled Cygwin after running MinGW for a while now. But when I try to compile the console gives me:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/cc1.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What does this mean?
I have the same problem and I found the solution.
According to the FAQ of Cygwin
Q: Why is C:\cygwin\usr\bin invisible from windows?
A: Because it does not really exist. In cygwin, /usr/bin is just a link to /bin.
So trying to add "C:\cygwin\usr\bin" to PATH will be in vain.
Add "C:\cygwin64\bin" to PATH instead. Hope this helps :)
You are missing a library, please run cygcheck /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/cc1.exe or ldd /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/cc1.exe to see what is the missing library.
(I'd rather ask a question in the comments first, but I don't have enough reputation yet.)
Your cc1 is unable to load some DLLs it needs to start. Looking at the Cygwin source code, this can be either a library specified in LD_PRELOAD, or -- more probably -- a library the executable depends on. The ? in the error message seems to be the default return value of find_first_notloaded_dll (hookapi.cc), in case the function can't determine what library is missing.
To diagnose the issue, I suggest checking your PATH variable (or even clearing it of any non-Cygwin paths and trying the compilation again) and/or using Dependency Walker to find the missing DLLs (start it from a Cygwin shell, so it can see the same PATH). ldd (included with Cygwin) may also give some clues, but I wouldn't bet on it.
It's possible a clean re-install of Cygwin will be necessary to solve the issue.
Most likely, you are simply missing /usr/bin in the PATH variable.
Adding 'export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH' to your .bashrc file will solve the issue.
Adding some background info. I had the same problem when building my own program and linking it against graphviz cgraph.dll. Turns out this is related to where windows searches for DLLs (see here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7d83bc18.aspx) So adding the path of your missing library to PATH should fix the problem.
It is unfortunate that the message doesn't include the name of the library. Luckily cmd.exe DOES give you this name (so it's good for something after all;)
Are you including the path to your lib directory?
Looks like you are not
I'm not very familiar with Cygwin, I mainly use MinGW, but I think the error message speaks for itself
I also came this error on windows machine while executing .exe file generated by scilab2C i.e toolbox for Scilab
For Windows 32 bit Add the environment variable path as follow :
C:\cygwin\usr\i686-pc-cygwin\bin
Hope so this will solve your issue.
Just had this problem trying to compile a package with make and it wanted some cygguile dll file that was just installed along with make.
My solution was I had not only migrated my cygwin64 directory across drives because the sector sizes were mismatched for some reason even though the drivers were both under 2TB and should have been using 512 byte sector sizes.. So I had to install a new system and move files over there, might have had weird permissions on them.
Also had to patch cygwin1.dll end of Jan 2020 because of a recent input problem in ConEmu with Windows 10 1903 build, but just did it again with this working so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Reinstalling cygwin by deleting that entire directory, taking ownership of it first.., seemed to work now...
I am quite new to assembly and Linux as a whole. I found on gitHub a snake program written in Assembly. But I tried compiling and running it, but have no clue how.
I first thought I could use gcc -o name name.s and that didnt work. Then i read that i need to compile it using BASH command "make" however... I really dont know how to do that.
Like I said I am completely new to usuing linux and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain to me how to compile this and get it running.

I am trying to build NetCDF4 from source on MacOSX. When I run ./configure I get the error:
checking for library containing H5Fflush... no
configure: error: Can't find or link to the hdf5 library. Use --disable-netcdf-4, or see config.log for errors.
I installed hdf5 before, and set the environment variables as:
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
In /opt/local/lib I have these files:
libhdf5.8.dylib
libhdf5.a
libhdf5.dylib
libhdf5.settings
libhdf5_cpp.8.dylib
libhdf5_cpp.a
libhdf5_cpp.dylib
libhdf5_hl.8.dylib
libhdf5_hl.a
libhdf5_hl.dylib
libhdf5_hl_cpp.8.dylib
libhdf5_hl_cpp.a
libhdf5_hl_cpp.dylib
And in /opt/local/include I have:
hdf5.h hdf5_hl.h
Why doesn't the configure script find the hdf5 library? I am happy to provide more information if needed!
EDIT:
My ultimate goal is to install netcdf4 for use as a Fortran module. I have tried installing everything through MacPorts, and it seemed to work, but when I tried to use it, the compiler told me that there was no netcdf.mod file, and sure enough there wasn't one to be found anywhere.
It turns out that just typing:
sudo port install netcdf-fortran
only installs the library files, but doesn't create a .mod file, which I guess is needed. So I found out that other people had the same problem, and the advice given was to install it with gcc44, which did create a .mod file, but then my compiler told me that the .mod file was built with a different version of gfortran and it couldn't be used, so that's why I am trying to build it from scratch, but if someone has a faster option, I would be more than happy to try it!
Ok, I finally figured it out.
I reinstalled netcdf-fortran with macports, then the .mod file suddenly appeared, I then had the problem, however, that when running gfortran, it would tell me that netcdf.mod was compiled with a different version of fortran than the one I am using. (Macports uses 4.8), so got gcc48 from macports and am using gfortran-mp-4.8 to compile now and it works.
Still don't know how to build all these things from scratch, but it works now at least!!!
Typically, I see this when there is a downstream dependency that cannot be fulfilled. The test program created by configure is finding libhdf5, but compilation is still failing because it cannot find something like libz or libszip, depending on how your libhdf5 was compiled.
If you check your config.log file and look for the error, it will probably tell you something along the lines of 'unresolved symbol'. This will give a clue as to which library is missing. If it is linking against the statically-built libhdf5, you may need to add the appropriate library usingLDFLAGS.
If you post the relevant portion of your config.log file, we may be able to help sort out what exactly is going wrong.
Sometimes it doesn't work in the configure parameters like
./configure --enable-shared --enable-fortran --enable-netcdf-4
CPPFLAGS=-I$home/apps2/include LDFALGS=-L$home/apps2/lib --prefix=$home/apps2
or doesn't work when export CPPFLAGS=-I$home/apps2/include in the open SHELL.
Maybe you can set the env vars CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the .bashrc file (prior to the first two ways).
