I am trying to run a lexx and yacc program and I got the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ly
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Plz tell me which libraries am I supposed to add?
Could you find liby.a in /lib dir? If you don't have the file, you can use apt-file liby.a to find the package which includes it. In my case, apt install libbison-dev works.
I would guess the problem is that you're using a version of yacc other than the old AT&T yacc which doesn't come with liby (the -ly you have). So you need to remove the -ly option from your command line, and provide your own implementations of main and yyerror.
What version of yacc and lex have the "-ly" parametr?
I used this command in my university:
gcc gram.c gram.h sem.c -ly -ll
or
cc gram.c gram.h sem.c -ly -ll
And works! But on my home komputer doesn't work..

I am getting this error when i compile my test file in linux centOS7.
/usr/bin/ld : cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: error: ld return 1 exit status
It means, it's not finding an existing library gcc_s.
One reason for this, this is because although libgcc is present, it may not be not in the paths known to ldconfig.
try this by doing
sudo /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libgcc
if the output show that the is link to libgcc corresponds to paths that you have listed above?
A workaround for you may be to add the link to the relevant library to your compile command, for example, it will do the job.
g++ yourprogram.cpp -L /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/
I am trying to cross compile libpng for RaspberryPi on Ubuntu 14.04 (x_64) with zlib
but configure fails with
configure:11400: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/include conftest.c -lz -lm >&5
/home/user/RPI_DEV/xtools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8.3/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:11400: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
....
Because I am using toolchain for arm, arm-ld cant find zlib.
Is there any option for configure not to compile with shared lib but to try with static lib (eg. -static -lz).
Command is
./configure --enable-static=true --enable-shared=false --with-zlib-include="/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/include" --with-zlib-lib="/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/lib" LDFLGS="-L/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/include" -enable-static --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib --exec-prefix=/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib
You need to cross build and install zlib into your toolchain before trying to use it in another project.
What you are doing might work but only if you spell LDFLAGS correctly:
LDFLGS="-L/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/lib"
Note the missing 'A'. I don't know why your second attempt worked, given you had the same misspelling; possibly you had a correct LDFLAGS in your environment?
Anyway there should be a Ubuntu cross-development guide somewhere that explains how to do this. It's slightly off topic but for Gentoo you use 'crossdev' to install the toolchain then a crossdev specific version of the normal package installation mechanism ([host]-emerge) to install zlib into the toolchain.
Also, the arguments --with-zlib-include and --with-zlib-lib are not supported by any current version of libpng I can find. If you are cross-compiling libpng for an RPi (or, indeed, any ARM system) you should be using the latest version of 1.6 that you can find.
Unless someone solves this the RIGHT way, this is hack I've done.
Open configure.ac file
Find and comment out line
AC_CHECK_LIB(z, zlibVersion, , AC_ERROR([zlib not installed]))
Configure will pass wihout check for zlib and then add zlib by hand
LDFLGS="-L/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/lib -L/home/user/RPI_DEV/lib/lib/libz.a"
Run autoconf
Run ./configure ...
I wrote a basic hello world program in haskel and tried to compile it with:
ghc filename.hs. It produces .hi and .o files but no executable and displays
this error in the linker:
marox#IT-marox:~/Marox$ ghc tupel.hs
Linking tupel ...
/usr/bin/ld: --hash-size=31: unknown option
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Googling didn't return any useful information.
I am on ubuntu 12.04.
How can I fix this?
Have you binutils-gold installed? If yes, this is the problem (since the gold linker does not support --hash-size AFAIK).
Possible solutions:
remove gold
your ld probably links to ld.gold, so change the symlink to ld.ld
tell the haskell compiler explicitly which linker to use with the -pgml option: ghc -pgml ld.ld tupel.hs
install ghc from source, since the configure script of ghc will then build ghc so that it won't use --hash-size
Depending on your version of ghc, you can adjust the linker settings in ghc's setting file /usr/lib/ghc-your.ghc.version/settings
Update - gold on Ubuntu 12.10 appears to move GNU ld to ld.bfd. To fix this problem I deleted the ld link as recommended and remade the link with
ln -s ld.bfd ld
ghc compilations are now going through.
(Couldn't see how to subvert the settings file in usr/lib/ghc, as the entry is for gcc which passes through its commandline to ld, although this would have been my preferred option, in case something else needs ld to be the way it was.)
Thanks to Dominic for the pointer of where to look! It was driving me crazy...
This should be a pretty straightforward issue -- I'm trying to compile Lua (or rather lua-vec, which is a minor variant) on a CentOS Linux install, and I get the following error:
[jt#flyboy src]#make linux
make all MYCFLAGS=-DLUA_USE_LINUX MYLIBS="-Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline -lhistory -lncurses"
make[1]: Entering directory `/jt/flyboy/fly/lua/lua-vec/src'
gcc -o lua lua.o liblua.a -lm -Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline -lhistory -lncurses
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [lua] Error 1
That would suggest the readline lib is not installed. But...
[jt#flyboy src]#ls /usr/lib/libreadline*
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.5 /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5.1
Interestingly, if I rearrange the order of readline/history/ncurses, whichever is first triggers the same error, so I suspect that this is some sort of a folder-specification problem, not a missing library problem.
Any ideas?
yum install readline-devel.x86_64 readline-devel.i386 ncurses-devel.i386 ncurses-devel.x86_64
seems to have done the trick! The odd thing is I have compiled this before without these libs... but enough time pondering life's mysteries...
libreadline is not enough, it will give you libraries related to readline. You need libreadline-dev for compiling package which depends upon readline like in above case.
In Red Hat like distros, name of package is readline-devel
Following command will do the trick in such environment:
$ yum install -y readline-devel
If somebody has this issue in ubuntu/debian:
sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev
I have downloaded the latest GLUI source code and now I am trying to compile it. When I do so, I get the following error:
g++ -O0 -Wall -pedantic -I./ -I./include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o bin/example1 example/example1.cpp -L./lib -lglui -L/usr/X11R6/lib/libXdmcp.a -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -lXi -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
When I did a locate libXmu, I get the following output:
> %:~/src/GLUI/src$ locate libXmu
> /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6
> /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0
> /usr/lib/libXmuu.so.1
> /usr/lib/libXmuu.so.1.0.0
Do I get the error because I don't have a /usr/lib/libXmu.so? If this is the case, how can I make one? (I am not experienced with linking at all).
Thanks!
Linux distributions usually package the libraries needed for running programs separately from the files needed to build programs.
Look for packages named *-devel or *-dev.
I don't know which one you need in particular for this, but you can use apt-cache search to look for it.
The answer was actually one of the first ones here originally but the owner deleted it, it seems. I was able to solve the problem by creating a symbolic link to the latest version of the library (i.e. /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6) and compile the code successfully.
I had the same problem, if creating a symbolic link doesnt help,
try the following:
Print your $PATH ("echo $PATH"),
and check if the library file you need is in one of those directories.
Use "export PATH=/newly/added/path:$PATH" to add new directory to check.
Ive been including libevent, added "-levent" in the gcc command, and ld used file /usr/lib/libevent.so, so it looks like the "lib" prefix and extension are being added automatically by ld.
Keep it up.
