makefile g++: fatal error: no input files - linux

I am taking a C++ class right now and in an effort to embrace CS, I installed Linux Mint 15 (Olivia) and have been going through my homework and lectures on the command line and through vim. We recently went over makefile(s) and I am having an issue with g++. My makefile looks like this:
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS += -pedantic-errors
CXXFLAGS += -g
OBJS =
SRCS = constructors.cpp
HEADERS =
#target: dependencies
# rule to build
#
constructors: ${OBJS} ${HEADERS}
${CXX} ${LDFLAGS} ${OBJS} -o constructors
${OBJS}: ${SRCS}
${CXX} ${CXXFLAGS} -c $(#:.o=.cpp)
When I run:
make constructors
I get the following message:
g++ -o constructors
g++: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [constructors] Error 4
I have constructors.cpp in the same folder and if I manually compile it, it works perfect. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You... seem to be missing something here. Like some objects to build.

Linker error in Codelite with MinGW-w64

I'm trying to use MinGW-W64 instead of MinGW in Codelite. When I compile simple "hello, world" project it's all right. But when I try to link some libraries, I get a strange linker error. Project with exactly same settings compiles by MinGW with any problems. There are build output for both variants:
MinGW GCC 4.8.1

This looks like a bug in your toolchain and not in CodeLite.
There is a space between the "#code.text" and -L./lib and for some reason g++ does not see it...
I put my money on the mingw32-make tool. You can tell CodeLite to use the mingw32-make.exe from the 4.8.1 version (which worked): settings->build settings->compilers->[YOUR COMPILER NAME]->Make
Another option is to disable the option that tells CodeLite to generate Makefile that passes the object list via file to the compiler:
Settings->Build Settings->compilers->[YOUR COMPILER NAME]->Advanced tab and uncheck the option: pass object list to the linker via file
Lately i too have found the similar problem. Later i was able to figure out the issue. We just to need to go to the project settings under change makefile generator default to codelite makefile generator i think that will work.

OMP Cross compilation with x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++

I have some trouble with crosscompiling C++ program which takes advantage of openMP library. I am using Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I want to obtain executable file runnable on Windows.
I have no problem with compiling my program with OMP with regular g++ command:
g++ a.cpp b.cpp -o OMPres -pg -O3 -I./CBLAS/include -L./ -lcblas
Also when I try crosscompilation without OMP, everything runs perfectly fine:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ a.cpp b.cpp -O3 -I./CBLAS/include ./CBLAS/cblas_WIN64.a ./BLAS/blas_WIN64.a -o res.exe -l gfortran -static
But when I try to crosscompile it with OMP using following command:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ a.cpp b.cpp -O3 -I./CBLAS/include ./CBLAS/cblas_WIN64.a ./BLAS/blas_WIN64.a -o OMPres.exe -l gfortran -static -fopenmp
I get this error:
a.cpp:41:17: fatal error: omp.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
I found where omp.h file is located on my disk, and added the path to the command. After executing it:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ a.cpp b.cpp -O3 -I./CBLAS/include -I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/include ./CBLAS/cblas_WIN64.a ./BLAS/blas_WIN64.a -o OMPres.exe -l gfortran -static -fopenmp
I got another error: x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++: error: libgomp.spec: No such file or directory
As I also have this file on the disk I tried to copy it in various places and finaly it worked when I copied it directly into the directory where compilation takes place. Then it produced another error:
/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -lgomp
/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -lrt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I don't have a good understanding of how compilers exactly work. I tried to update all mingw-w64 compilers that I could find with apt-cache search but nothing helped. I have no idea what more I can do :(.
First, #nmaier is completely correct in that the Ubuntu x86_64-w64-mingw32 toolchain is crippled, and that you can rebuild the toolchain yourself.
I, however, suggest that you use MXE, which saves you the time of manually compiling gcc and every dependency of it. The steps below should be enough for your purpose:
# Get MXE
git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git && cd mxe
# Settings
cat <<EOF > settings.mk
MXE_TARGETS := x86_64-w64-mingw32.static
JOBS := 4
EOF
# Build gcc, libgomp, blas, and cblas. It will take a while
make -j2 libgomp cblas
# Add toolchain to PATH
# See http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/mxe/mxe/blob/master/index.html#tutorial step 4
export PATH=`pwd`/usr/bin:$PATH
# You don't need -I./CBLAS/include ./CBLAS/cblas_WIN64.a ./BLAS/blas_WIN64.a
# because headers and libraries are installed to standard location and
# I already used `-lcblas -lblas`.
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ a.cpp b.cpp -fopenmp -O3 -o res.exe -lcblas -lblas -lgfortran -lquadmath
Your x86_64-w64-mingw32 toolchain appears to have been build without libgomp.
You could check your supplier/distribution if it there additional or variant packages that have libgomp.
Or switch to a different supplier/distribution.
Or you could rebuild (or build in the first place) a cross gcc with --enable-libgomp. This is kinda the hard way.
PS:
Adding paths that do not correspond with your platform, like -I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/include, is a bad idea in general, and will most certainly fail... This kinda creates a Franken-compiler.

Library error when building a make file for a CUDA program

I am trying to build a makefile in linux. The code which goes into the makefile is as follows:
NVCC = /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc
CUDAPATH = /usr/local/cuda
NVCCFLAGS = -I$(CUDAPATH)/include
LFLAGS = -L$(CUDAPATH)/lib64 -lcuda -lcudart -lm
VectorAdd:
$(NVCC) $(NVCCFLAGS) $(LFLAGS) -o VectorAdd VectorAdd.cu
So when I type "make"
I get the following error:
How do i get rid of it and build my make file?
Since you're using NVCC you don't really need those LFLAGS and NVCCFLAGS definitions. nvcc knows how to find all that automatically.
But if you want to fix it, get rid of the space at the end of your cuda path definition:
CUDAPATH = /usr/local/cuda
^ there is a space here, delete it

cmake fortran undefined reference to MAIN__ on linux

I trying to get a cmake build system working on linux. The project contains a bunch of executables and two libraries. One of the executables is first built as a library, then that library is linked with the object file containing the man subroutine. This was done because the rest of the executables depend on that library. The tricky part is that the main subroutine is defined inside a module that the rest of sources depend on so this needs to be compiled before the rest of the sources. The effect is that the main subroutine gets added to the resulting library. This seems to work fine on Mac OS X but, the linking state fails on Linux.
The cmake file for the failing part looks like
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)
# Create an empty variable to hold all the source files.
set (vmec_sources "")
# Add subdirectory for all the sources.
add_subdirectory (Sources)
add_library (vmec STATIC ${vmec_sources})
add_dependencies (vmec stell)
# Define an executable and link all libraries.
add_executable (xvmec ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Sources/General/vmec_main.f)
add_dependencies (xvmec vmec)
target_link_libraries (xvmec vmec stell)
if ((NOT ${NETCDF_C} STREQUAL "") AND (NOT ${NETCDF_F} STREQUAL ""))
target_link_libraries (xvmec ${NETCDF_C} ${NETCDF_F})
endif ()
When running cmake, everything configures fine and generates a make file when I run make Mac OS X everything works fine. When I run make on Linux it fails.
The output from the make VERBOSE=1 On Linux produces
Linking Fortran executable ../build/bin/xvmec
cd /home/user/reconstruction/VMEC2000 && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/xvmec.dir/link.txt --verbose=1

On Mac OS X, I get

The link line looks like it is linking all the same stuff in the correct order so I don't understand why this is failing on Linux.
Turns out I had the wrong file listed as containing the main method. It seems that later versions of gfortran can link 'MAIN__' from a inside a library while gfortran-4.4 cannot.

gcc:linker input file unused because linking not done

When I run a make file in Linux to compile C codes, I get the following error:
gcc -Wall -fPIC -DSOLARIS -DXP_UNIX -DMCC_HTTPD -D_REENTRANT -I/opt/profile/OraAlert_test/code/include -I/usr/netscape/server4/plugins/include -I../../pwutils -I../../database/src -I../../access/src -I/data/share/capscan/include -o getEnv.o -c ../src/
gcc: ../src/: linker input file unused because linking not done
I have tried searching for related questions in stackoverflow and tried the the solutions suggested. Still this could not be resolved.
Any suggestions?
You have a compilation command without a source file.
What is it supposed to compile?
The error is indeed misleading. It assumes you want to link with ../src/, but -c says no linkage is to be done.
