Dynamic linking failing on linux/powerpc - linux

I have a Xilinx FPGA running a soft processor (PowerPC). I recently cross compiled Boost libraries for PowerPC and wanted to test it. So I used one of the sample programs and tried to cross compile it for my target. Below is the code
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>
void helloworld()
{
printf( "Hello World!");
}
int main()
{
boost::thread thrd(&helloworld);
thrd.join();
}
Below is my make file
CPP=ppc_4xx-g++
CFLAGS=-c -g -Wall
LDFLAGS_PowerPC=-L/shared/deps/powerpc/lib -L/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/lib/
LIBS_PowerPC=-lboost_thread -lboost_system -lpthread -lrt
INCLUDES=-I. -I./4.2.2/ -I./include -I/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include/
CPPFLAGS_PowerPC=-I/shared/deps/common/include
CPPFLAGS_COMMON=-I/shared/deps/powerpc/include
CPPFLAGS=$(CPPFLAGS_COMMON) $(CPPFLAGS_PowerPC)
all: helloworld
helloworld: helloworld.o
$(CPP) $(LDFLAGS_PowerPC) $(LIBS_PowerPC) helloworld.o -o helloworld
helloworld.o: helloworld.cpp
$(CPP) $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) helloworld.cpp
clean:
rm -rf *.o helloWorld
I was able to generate the binaries but when I run the program on my target I get the below error
-/bin/sh: ./helloworld: not found
I checked online and found that the above problem comes when we have dynamic linking. My Boost libraries are present in the location /shared/deps/powerpc/lib and I have set the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly using the below command.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/shared/deps/powerpc/lib/:/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/lib/
But even then I get the same problem.
Below is the output of uname -ars
Linux (none) 3.0.0-14.1-build3+ #23 PREEMPT Thu Jan 3 18:44:27 CST 2013 ppc GNU/Linux
I don't have ldd installed on my target so I can't check the dynamic dependencies. But I am sure that, libraries are included. How can I proceed ?

Even though my embedded Linux system had a dynamic linker, it was not working. The problem was resolved when I used a dynamic linker provided with my tool chain and replaced it the correct directory. Now dynamic linking is fine.

Linking mosquitto library to hello.c program on Linux

I am trying to compile the mosquitto library with my custom c program. So WHat I have done is wrote a hello.c file, git cloned the latest mosquitto library from the below repository:
https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto.git
and compiled it with the make command as below:
make
I had to remove the doc target as it was asking for some dependancy library. I don't have admin rights on this machine, hence don't want to be blocked by any dependancy lib. After the compilation what I have is the below:
src/mosquitto
./lib/libmosquitto.so.1
The I copied the libmosquitto.so.1 shared lib into a local folder called ~/hello/:
~/hello$ cp ~/mosquitto/lib/libmosquitto.so.1 .
then wrote a hello.c inside ~/hello/ which is as below:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
I can compile the hello.c and run it as below:
gcc -o hello hello.c
./hello
Hello World
But if I try to link the binary with the mosquitto library I get an error like the below:
gcc -o hello hello.c -lmosquitto
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmosquitto
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The libmosquitto.so.1 lives in the same folder as the hello.c. I don't want to install the mosquitto library, rather would like to keep in a local folder and be able to link it. I have also tried the below with the hope that the -L. would point the linker to the present directory for the shared lib file but still get the same error:
gcc -o hello hello.c -L. -lmosquitto
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmosquitto
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
My ultimate objective is to cross compile the library for an arm target. So really need to understand how the linking of the shared library is failing so that I can use the same experience while cross compiling and link for the target. At the moment I am doing this on a x86 platform.
Can anyone please help?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmosquitto
The linker doesn't look for libmosquitto.so.1 -- it only looks for libmosquitto.a or libmosquitto.so.
Solution: ln -s libmosquitto.so.1 libmosquitto.so
./pub: error while loading shared libraries: libmosquitto.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The problem here is that the runtime loader doesn't look in the current directory for libmosquitto.so.1 -- it only looks in system-configured directories.
You could fix this by adding export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/mosquitto/lib, but this is suboptimal -- your binary will work or not depending on the environment.
A better solution is to change your link command like so:
gcc -o hello hello.c -L. -lmosquitto -Wl,-rpath=$HOME/mosquitto/lib

Compiling program with Open Source libFTDI

I use Asus router (based on ARMv7 proc) with Advanced Tomato installed
on it as my ARMv7 developer platform. I install compiler (gcc - 5.4.0-1)
plus dependencies and libFTDI (libftdi1 - 1.3-1) from OpenWRT Linux
repo. OpenWRT does not provide libftdi-dev so I copied ftdi.h file from libFTDI download page to /opt/include directly. I try to compile program taken directly from libFTDI samples. The
compiler command is:
gcc -v -Wl,-rpath=/opt/usr/local/lib -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 -L/opt/lib -O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9-fno-caller-saves -mfloat-abi=soft -l ftdi1 d.c -o d
But compilation fails because:
/opt/bin/ld: cannot find -lftdi1
But there is /opt/usr/local/lib/libftdi1.so linked to libftdi1.so.2
My LD_LIBRARY_PATH looks like this:
/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/lib:/opt/usr/lib:/opt/include:/opt/usr/local/lib:/opt/usr/include
So what the problem is?
I dont know why (probably bug) but for compiler taken from OpenWRT repo, MUST have wanted library in /opt/lib. So simply copy libftdi1.so.2.3.0 file and linking it to libftdi1.so resolved problem. That means that it does not use correctly LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Finally compilation command looks like this:
gcc -v -Wl,-rpath=/opt/usr/local/lib -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 -L/opt/lib -O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9 -fno-caller-saves -mfloat-abi=soft -l ftdi1 arco.c -o arco

Source-built clang-3.7 on Linux not finding Block_copy

I built and installed llvm/clang-3.7 from source on my Ubuntu Linux system (I'm building from source because my development environment at work does not have apt-get available). The gcc version is 4.8.2. I followed the clang build instructions at http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html, and everything worked fine (mkdir build; cd build; cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../llvm; make; make install). However, I'm now finding that a program to test Block_copy fails to compile. The program is auto-generated by autoconf when I try to build gnustep-base. The part that fails is:
int
main ()
{
return _Block_copy ();
;
return 0;
}
My compile command is:
clang -o conftest -m64 -march=opteron -mno-3dnow -ggdb -O2 -Wall -I/home/build/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/home/build/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/home/build/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers -fgnu-runtime -x objective-c -m64 -L/home/build/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/home/build/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/home/build/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries conftest.c -lrt -ldl -lpthread -rdynamic -m64 -fgnu-runtime -L/home/build/GNUstep/Library/Libraries -L/home/build/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/home/build/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -lobjc -lm
Do I need to build clang with a special option to enable blocks, or should I be linking with another library?
Do I need to build clang with a special option to enable blocks
No. But you may need -fblocks option using the clang binary.
-fblocks
Enable the "Blocks" language feature.
should I be linking with another library?
AFAIK, Yes.
_Block_copy is a part of BlocksRuntime.
BlocksRuntime Block.h
BlocksRuntime runtime.c
Have you compiled compiler-rt? It includes BlocksRuntime. The document explains how to build compiler-rt.

undefined reference when cross-compiling for ARM with static OpenCV libraries

I'm trying to compile a simple test program using static OpenCV libraries that have been compiled using an ARM compiler. But when I try to compile it with the command
$arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ `pkg-config --static opencv` -I/usr/local/include -L<path to static libary> -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_core ARMtest2.cpp -o ARMtest2
This gives
/tmp/ccxNeUbK.o: In function main':
ARMtest2.cpp:(.text+0x8a): undefined reference tocv::Mat::ones(int, int, int)'
/tmp/ccxNeUbK.o: In function cv::Mat::~Mat()':
ARMtest2.cpp:(.text._ZN2cv3MatD2Ev[_ZN2cv3MatD5Ev]+0x20): undefined reference tocv::fastFree(void*)'
/tmp/ccxNeUbK.o: In function cv::Mat::release()':
ARMtest2.cpp:(.text._ZN2cv3Mat7releaseEv[_ZN2cv3Mat7releaseEv]+0x30): undefined reference tocv::Mat::deallocate()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The code itself is just some simple test code that prints a Mat type variable.
I compiled the static OpenCV library with cmake-gui. I selected UNIX Makefile and then selected 'specify options for cross-compiling' where I gave the path to the ARM (arm-linux-gnueabihf) gcc and g++ compiler. Then I unticked BUILD_SHARED_LIB so it compiled static libraries. It seemed to compile fine without errors. After that I did make & sudo make install.
I also tried it with shared libraries and that worked fine on the ARM board (once I copied the libraries to the board and exported the library path).
The static .a files landed nicely in the build folder. Apparently it can also find it when I -L link to it. I have tried reversing the order of the libraries, but to no avail.
So I'm a bit at a loss what is going wrong.
I solved it. Using the normal --static pkg-config command to compile with OpenCV libraries;
`pkg-config --libs --static opencv`
Of course I installed the static libraries also to the folder /usr/local/lib where libraries get installed first. But still i don't know what I missed in the command line I tried to use. I had a look in the config file /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/opencv.pc
Here is whats in it:
# Package Information for pkg-config
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=
includedir_old=${prefix}/include/opencv
includedir_new=${prefix}/include
Name: OpenCV
Description: Open Source Computer Vision Library
Version: 2.4.9
Libs: ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_calib3d.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_contrib.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_core.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_features2d.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_flann.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_gpu.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_highgui.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_imgproc.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_legacy.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_ml.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_nonfree.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_objdetect.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_ocl.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_photo.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_stitching.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_superres.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_ts.a ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_video.so ${exec_prefix}/lib/libopencv_videostab.so -lrt -lpthread -lm -ldl
Cflags: -I${includedir_old} -I${includedir_new}
I believe this is what is being called with the pkg-config <--something_or_other> opencv line.
And saw some other things that probably get linked when compiling -lrt -lpthread -lm -ldl Not really sure though as I tried it ina normal command line and I apparently still missed somethings.
But it worked, so didn't really bother too much with it much further :)
In your command:
*$arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ `pkg-config --static opencv` -I/usr/local/include -L<path to static libary> -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_core ARMtest2.cpp -o ARMtest2*
The cflags was missing.
Try with:
$arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ `pkg-config --cflags --static opencv` -I/usr/local/include -L<path to static cross-compiled libary> -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_core ARMtest2.cpp -o ARMtest2
Assuming here that your cross-compiled headers are saved in /usr/local/include (as you specified).

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.
