Cross-compiling Snap7 for MIPS with OpenWrt as OS - linux

Currently i'm working on a project to log data out of a Siemens PLC. To achieve this i'm using Snap7. Snap7 (http://snap7.sourceforge.net/) is a communication library.
I've managed to get it work on my linux desktop but when i try to cross-compile the snap7 library i get some errors
The error is generated when linking all of the object files.
g++ -shared -fPIC -o ../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so #"filelist.txt" -L. -lpthread -lrt -O3
/usr/bin/ld: ../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 8)
./temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so] Error 1
If i'm correct i think it's using the wrong linker, it should use the linker of the toolchain located at: openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/
I've also tried to compile the software with mips-openwrt-linux-g++.
Now another error is given:
mips-openwrt-linux-g++ -shared -fPIC -o ../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so #"filelist.txt" -L. -lpthread -lrt -O3
openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/lib/gcc/mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc/4.8.3/../../../../mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: ../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: relocation R_MIPS_26 against `close' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so] Error 1
I hope someone is familiar with this error and can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
edit1:
There are some pre-compiled binaries. In the makefiles i changed the CC to my g++ directory. There is no LD flag so i cannot set my linker over there.

Can you cross compile and run a "hello world" program?
What is the output of file ../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o?

HEXAGON Halide Tools 2.3: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++abi

I did not get response from Qualcomm forum so I decided to post here. When I was trying to run examples of Halide for Hexagon by running make run as written in the document. Then I got the following issue. The -lc++abi is missing.
clang++ -std=c++11 -I /opt/qcom/Hexagon_SDK/4.3.0.0/tools/HALIDE_Tools/2.3.03/Halide/include -stdlib=libc++ -O3 -g -fno-rtti -rdynamic conv3x3_generator.cpp /opt/qcom/Hexagon_SDK/4.3.0.0/tools/HALIDE_Tools/2.3.03/Halide/lib/libHalide.a /opt/qcom/Hexagon_SDK/4.3.0.0/tools/HALIDE_Tools/2.3.03/Halide/tools/GenGen.cpp -o /opt/qcom/Hexagon_SDK/4.3.0.0/tools/HALIDE_Tools/2.3.03/Halide/Examples/build/offload/hexagon_benchmarks/bin/conv3x3.generator -lz -lrt -ldl -lpthread -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++abi
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I checked the /usr/lib and find. So it should be there?
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libc++abi.so.1.0
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libc++abi.so.1
./llvm-10/lib/libc++abi.so.1.0
./llvm-10/lib/libc++abi.so.1
Did I miss anything or make anything stupid? Thanks!
ld is your system's host linker -- that's GNU BFD ld. clang++ must be in your PATH but it's the host clang++ and not the hexagon-clang++ that would be with Halide/Hexagon tools.
I contacted the person from Qualcomm. I am not supposed to use either /usr/bin/clang++ nor hexagon-clang++. I downloaded clang+llvm-7.0.1-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz from https://releases.llvm.org/7.0.1/. You should use clang++ under the bin folder after you extract it. Now it works for me.

Question about compiling sources code with HDF5 and mpi

When I am trying to compile the source code by 'make', the first steps that creating the '.o' files are running fine, and all '.o' files could be compiled normally. However, when compiling the executable file:
mpifort -fopenmp -O3 -o MyEXE sth.o main.o -L/usr/local/share/fftw-3.3.8/lib -lfftw3_mpi -lfftw3 -lm -L/usr/local/share/mpich-3.2/lib -lmpi -lz -L/usr/local/share/hdf5-1.8.18/lib -lhdf5_fortran -lhdf5hl_fortran -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5 -fPIC
it gots the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/share/hdf5-1.8.18/lib/libhdf5.a(H5PL.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlclose##GLIBC_2.2.5'
//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
How could I solve this problem? Some pages suggest that it is due to the '-ldl- flag when calling c++ compiler, but I couldn't find a way to make it suitable for my cases.
The pages were right. Your HDF5 library libhdf5.a uses the function dlclose, which is defined in the library libdl. To use it, you need to simply add -ldl at the end of your mpifort command line.

Errors while trying to build GDB for ARM

I'm trying to build GDB (version 8.0) for an arm on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine.
I'm planning to debug it directly on the arm machine (currently without a server).
I have executed these instructions (as it was explained here)
./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64_unknown-linux-gnu
make
During the linkage the system threw me this error:

I have tried to download a new readline library and replace it with the one that comes with the gdb, but it didn't solve my problem.
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks!
Your command looks correct. The reason it doesn't work as expected must be that your ARM cross-compilation toolchain is not available in your $PATH or its prefix is not arm-linux-gnueabi.
As an example suppose that you downloaded gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi.tar.xz toolchain and unpacked it under ~/tmp. The following commands should build gdb successfully:
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/tmp/gcc-linaro-7.2.1-2017.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi/bin"
./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi
make
I shortened ./configure invocation because defaults suffice (TARGET=HOST and BUILD=<automatically guessed>).
The confusion here comes from the fact that --host=... makes configure script look for arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (...-ld, etc.), but in case it can't find them gcc, ld are used assuming that they cross-compile to HOST. This fallback behaviour is what happened here.
To make sure that correct toolchain is used, watch for
checking for arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc... found arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
line in the output of configure.
Do not specify LD=arm-XXX-ld CC=arm-XXX-gcc CXX=arm-XXX-g++ as others have suggested, the point of --host= option is to find these things for you, you just need to put them in your $PATH.
./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi ...
You are trying to build an ARM binary on an x86 machine. You need a cross-compiler targeting ARM for that, but you appear to be using your native compiler (which produces x86 objects).
As fei han said, you need:
./configure ... LD=/path/to/arm-XXX-ld CC=/path/to/arm-XXX-gcc CXX=/path/to/arm-XXX-g++

using gcc -m32 flag cannot find -lgcc and -lgcc_s

I'm trying to compile a 32 bit assembly code(NASM) on my 64 bit Linux, but I can't, I have tried others tutorials about it and I installed ia32-libs...
When I try run it as:
gcc asm1.o -o asm1
i386 of the file input `asm1.o' is incompatible with the output i386:x86-64
And when I try run it as:
gcc -m32 asm1.o -o asm1
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: connot find -lgcc_s
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Thanks for helps.
OBS: Sorry for my english, I'm not from US.
Need to install gcc-multilib.

Link Error: using gcc 4.5.2 on RHEL 6.0 -- I do not understand

Here is the command and the error.
gcc --shared \
-m64 \
-shared-libgcc \

/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS): In function `__libc_csu_init':

/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [build] Error 1
What does this mean?
By leaving a "hanging" --whole-archive option, you trick GCC into trying to link code compiled without -fPIC (from libc_nonshared.a) into a shared library. Don't do that. Do this instead:
gcc -shared ... -Wl,--whole-archive release64/*.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive
