Could not build shared library using toolchain arm-uclinuxeabi - shared-libraries

When i build the shared library with toolchain GNU toolchain for uClinux Cortex-M3/M4
The following error occurs:
/arm-2010q1/arm-uclinuxeabi/bin/ld.real: error: no memory region specified for loadable section `.dynsym'
Need help please !

Check for the GNU toolchain version properties. you can get this arm-uclinuxeabi-gcc -v in the command line.
if the tool chain is builded with --disable-shared, you will not be able to create shared library.
so when you build an utility you need to use same argument while configuring the build.

Rust cross-compile -lpcap from macos to linux

I am trying to cross-compile my Rust project on Mac OS to Linux using cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.
I installed the binary for Linux + musl cross-compilation on mac using brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross as I would ideally want a standalone binary.
I also installed the target using rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
And I have the following in my .cargo/config:
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl]
linker = "x86_64-linux-musl-gcc"
However, I ran into issues with 2 libraries - sqlite3 and pcap:
= note: /usr/local/Cellar/musl-cross/0.9.8/libexec/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-musl/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-linux-musl/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3
/usr/local/Cellar/musl-cross/0.9.8/libexec/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-musl/6.4.0/../../../../x86_64-linux-musl/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcap
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I was able to solve the sqlite3 linker issue by adding features = ["bundled"] to my Cargo.toml file (similar to what is described here - https://users.rust-lang.org/t/linker-cannot-find-lsqlite3/23230/18) as that likely built it from source (which was great) but when I tried doing the same with pcap, it gave the following error:
the package `myProject` depends on `pcap`, with features: `bundled` but `pcap` does not have these features.
After reading somewhere I also tried (with low hopes) of providing the path to the installed libpcap on mac using RUSTPATH='-L/...' cargo build ... but that resulted, of course in undefined symbol errors.
Any ideas how can I get past this issue and cross compile my Rust project into a statically linked binary on macos to run on linux?
Cross compilation does not magically take care of libraries. You cannot just say "I want musl" and have something take care of all your dependencies.
The error message you are seeing is telling you exactly this: it cannot find libsqlite3 and libpcap.
The reason the error for sqlite disappears is because your sqlite library has a bundled feature, which replaces the linking with a built-in sqlite client. This, however, also requests the pcap bundled feature, which does not exist.
You have two options:
If you do not mind the performance loss in the bundled sqlite client, change your feature definition to target the feature of the dependency requiring sqlite
If you want the raw library itself, you will have to compile it for musl
No matter what happens, you will need to cross-compile libpcap for musl with the default sysroot provided by your musl compiler. As this varies per library, you will need to consult the libpcap documentation. once you have done so, you should be able to use the -lpcap flag, and the error will resolve itself.

Linux : How can i find compilation flag of library provided by Opensuse i.e libOSmesa.so?

I want to know compilation flag used to compile library provided by OpenSUSE.
i.e libOSmesa.so provided by OpenSUSE. Is there any way to find out flags used in compiling these libraries
You can check build logs in OBS, see "Build Results" widget on package page. For example Mesa package in openSUSE 13.2: https://build.opensuse.org/build/openSUSE:13.2/standard/x86_64/Mesa/_log
If you are looking for default C/C++ build flags, use rpm --eval "%{optflags}"

Input/output error using Android ndk-build

Using Android NDK R10E, I am trying to build a shared library for all supported ABI's and I am getting the following error for some but not all ABI's:
[armeabi] SharedLibrary : libMyLib.so /home/user/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld:
fatal error: /home/user/source/MyLib/obj/local/armeabi/libMyLib.so: Input/output error
The project successfully builds for arm64-v8a, mips and mips64 but fails with the above error for armeabi, armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64.
I have a static library project and another shared library project and they both build successfully for all 7 ABI's.
If I compare the contents of obj/local/ for an ABI that builds and one that does not, they both contain all the same files except for libMyLib.so.
The difference between those two sets of ABIs is that the failing ones link using ld.gold and the working ones use ld.bfd.
Two things to try:
Use the 4.9 toolchain. It hopefully has the bug fix.
If that doesn't work, you can add -fuse-ld=bfd to your ldflags to use bfd even on the architectures that default to gold.
Same issue happened to me in r15c.
The fix was to copy
android-ndk-r15c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld.bfd over ld.
I had to copy it because I could not easily find a way to specify this flag to CMake to use it while detecting the compiler features.

Cross compile CGO app on darwin for linux

I'm having issues trying to cross-compile a Go app on OS X to run on linux/amd64. The app in question is using libvips via this vips go package. As such, it is using CGO and needs to be compiled with CGO support.
I'm on Go 1.4 and running the following build command
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 go build
but end up with a linker error
ld: unknown option: --build-id=none
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I'm assuming I probably need to add some kind of -ldflags argument but am not sure.
Is it possible to cross-compile CGO apps in this manner yet, or do I need to do a native-build on the target system to avoid issues and headaches?
Have a look at gonative. this allows you to cross-compile cgo code (as long as you are just using the stdlib).
Another approach would be to compile the linux binary using docker.
Fast-forwarding to 2022, using docker for cross-compiling CGO apps to other platforms is your best and cleanest choice. Build docker containers that contain the correct cross-platform compiler and C libraries. Here is how I cross-compile my Cgo applications with Docker. Here is the repo with the dockerfiles.

crosscompile glibc for arm

Good day
Currently, I'm working on an embedded device based on arm-linux. I want to build GCC for my target architecture with Glibc. GCC builds successful, but I have trouble with Glibc build.
I use the latest version of Glibc (ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.12.1.tar.gz) and port for them (ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar.gz)
my configuration line:
../../glibc-2.12.1/configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/home/anatoly/Desktop/ARM/build/glibc-build --enable-add-ons --with-binutils=/home/anatoly/Desctop/ARM/toolchain/arm/bin/
configuration script work fine, but i get some compile error:
...
/home/anatoly/Desktop/ARM/src/glibc-2.12.1/malloc/libmemusage_pic.a(memusage.os): In function me':
/home/anatoly/Desktop/ARM/src/glibc-2.12.1/malloc/lmemusage.c:253: undefined reference to__eabi+read_tp'
...
I also tried using the old version (2.11, 2.10) but have the same error.
Does anybody know the solution for this problem?
Use a precompiled toolchain, like those provided by code sourcery.
If you want to make your own, optimised (premature optimization is the root of all evil), use crosstool-NG, which is a tool dedicated to cross-compilation toolchain building.
If you are not convinced, and want to do everything with your own hands, ask your question on the crosstool-NG mailing list.
Try substituting arm-linux-gnueabi for arm-none-linux-gnueabi. Check that a compiler, loader etc. with the prefix you used for "host" exist on your path.
