Building and installing OpenSSL 1.0.0.e worked without problems, all I had to do was to setup the correct compiler in the Makefile.
Compiling libCURL without OpenSSL works fine but when compiling with OpenSSL using
./configure --host=mipsel-angstrom-linux PCRECONFIG=/usr/local/crosstoolchain/usr/local/bin/pcre-config --with-openssl
I get the following error message:
ld: libssl.a(s2_clnt.o): relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
I tried to compile OpenSSL with -fPIC and also tried to use -fPIC for libCURL to no avail. How can I fix this problem?
I think this works best, since it doesn't involve hacking files.
./Configure linux-x86_64 -fPIC
I found this by running
./config -h
and making a few guesses. I confirmed it works by using
grep PIC Makefile
Open the OpenSSL file called Configure in the root of the tarball. Move down to around line 610 and you will see the following for MIPS (find a better match if this is poor):
"vxworks-mips","ccmips:-mrtp -mips2 -O -G 0 -B\$(WIND_BASE)/host/\$(WIND_HOST_TYPE)/lib/gcc-lib/ -D_VSB_CONFIG_FILE=\"\$(WIND_BASE)/target/lib/h/config/vsbConfig.h\" -DCPU=MIPS32 -msoft-float -mno-branch-likely -DTOOL_FAMILY=gnu -DTOOL=gnu -fno-builtin -fno-defer-pop -DNO_STRINGS_H -I\$(WIND_BASE)/target/usr/h -I\$(WIND_BASE)/target/h/wrn/coreip::-D_REENTRANT:VXWORKS:-Wl,--defsym,__wrs_rtp_base=0xe0000000 -L \$(WIND_BASE)/target/usr/lib/mips/MIPSI32/sfcommon::${mips32_asm}:o32::::::ranlibmips:",
Add -fPIC to the options used.
Alternately, open the OpenSSL file called Makefile.org in the root of the tarball. Move down to around line 60 and you will see the following:
CC= gcc
Add the following as CC:
CC= gcc -fPIC
Its kind of a hack because you want to do that for CFLAGS, but the Makefile does not intake the macro.
Or, you can wait until OpenSSL's configure is complete (i.e., after running ./config), and then open all the makefiles and add it to the CFLAGS created from the Makefile.org template. Be sure to visit makefiles in subdirectories like crypto and engines.
The final solution for OpenSSL is to add a custom line to config and Configure. Ben Laurie and other do it when they perform custom builds. Search config and Configure for "debug-ben" or "ben-debug" or similar.
For libcurl, I believe that's an automake project. Simply perform the following:
$ export CFLAGS="-fPIC"
$ ./config

I'm using the Visual C++ for Linux plugin. I can run a basic Hello world without problems. My actual project uses a .lib. It compiles fine but I get an error during linking (this is copied from Visual Studio's output pane):

libuv.lib is specified in Project Properties>Linker>Input>Library Dependencies. I tried the following without success:
Copy the lib to /home/devbox/projects/lib and add that directory to
the linker command with -L, both using Visual Studio's additional
library folder field and directly in the Additional command line
options field. This results in the same final command.
Copy the lib to the output directory and set it to be copied
Add the local Windows path to Visual Studio's additional library folders
Add the linux path from #1 to Visual Studio's additional library folders
Try with another library
I made the same project but for Windows just to be sure and it works.
Am I missing something? Obviously I could just run the commands myself or use any variant of *make but that's not the point.
When you pass a library to g++ with -l, g++ helpfully prefixes the name you give with lib then looks for a file of that name with a .so or .a extension on the library search path. By convention, shared libraries (dlls) have the .so extension and static libraries the .a extension.
The route of least resistance would be to build your library with the .a extension, i.e. libuv.a then specify it to the VCLinux project library dependencies as uv. And specify the library search path with -L, as you do in your step 1.
Alternatively, you can put the full path of the library on the g++ link command line, without -l prefix, i.e. /home/devbox/projects/lib/libuv.lib and g++ will use it in the same way it uses other object files. Set via Linker/All Options/Additional Options.
Update: on reflection, this second approach won't work. Although g++ (gcc) will accept the library as an input when specified with its fully qualified path, the library must appear after the program object files for references to be resolved. Unfortunately there is no control over positioning of Additional Options in VCLinux which always puts them at the front of the parameter list on the g++ command line, i.e. before the object file(s). :(
And, at the risk of stating the obvious, the library must be built on Linux with g++ and be located on a path visible to g++ when linking your program.
When compiling my C++ project that includes uuid.h I get the compile error:
fatal error: uuid.h: No such file or directory
I'm not sure whats going wrong. It could be my compiler instructions are wrong or that I indeed dont have that file installed (but I don't think thats the problem).
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev
The above command outputs: uuid-dev is already the newest version
My makefile is simply this:
all:
g++ -o bin/myapplication src/main.cpp -std=c++11
Edit:
In .h file:
#include <uuid.h>
Any ideas what the issue could be?
The package's file list shows that it contains /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h. Since your default include path looks for files relative to /usr/include, you'd need to either write <uuid/uuid.h>, or add -I/usr/include/uuid to your compile options.
However, the package also provides a .pc file for use with pkg-config, which is meant to abstract the details of which compiler options you need to build a program against a library. If you run pkg-config --cflags uuid you get get the output -I/usr/include/uuid, and if you run pkg-config --libs uuid, you get the output -luuid. These are meant to be incorporated into your program's build.
Since it looks like you're using Make, you should add these lines to your Makefile:
CFLAGS += `pkg-config --cflags uuid`
LDFLAGS += `pkg-config --libs uuid`
That'll incoroporate the necessary -I and -l options into your compile commands automatically — and it'll also work on other systems where the UUID library might be installed in a different location.
I bielive in newer version of the uuid the header is <uuid/uuid.h>
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 ...

How to link to a shared library without lib* prefix in a different directory? [duplicate]
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I compiled a few libraries using Eclipse-CDT on windows. However, when I tried to compile them under linux gcc keeps giving me the error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrequestedLib. I'm using the exact same build settings between the two environments (namely I made sure to add the directories that contain the libraries i need to link to). I'm sure the system has read access rights to the files as well. I'm not sure what to make of this. Please help.
Edit: These are the commands that ecplise runs to build the library:
gcc -I/home/me/lib/ -O3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -olibToMake.o ../libToMake.c
gcc -L/home/me/lib/ -shared -olibToMake.so libToMake.o -lrequestedLib
Edit 2: The command that renders the error is the second of the two, resulting in the /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrequestedLib being output.
Edit 3: I've confirmed that requestedLib.so is a x86_64 binary.
If you don't want to pass -L command line options to gcc(1), be sure to add the path containing the libraries to /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.cond.d/<something>.
Once you've installed your libraries you also need to run ldconfig(8) by hand. (Most new users forget this step because typical package managers take care of this for you when installing new libraries.)
gcc -I/home/me/lib/ -O3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -olibToMake.o ../libToMake.c
gcc -L/home/me/lib/ -shared -olibToMake.so libToMake.o -lrequestedLib
When building 64-bit shared libraries on x86_64, the -fPIC flag is usually required, or you get a recompile with -fPIC error at shared library link time.
Since you didn't use -fPIC, yet your link succeeded, you are likely using (non-default) gcc that targets i*86 (that is, produces 32-bit output). You can confirm that by running file libToMake.so.
You didn't show that command that actually fails (the one that produces cannot find -lrequestedLib error). I am guessing that that command is using a different gcc (default one?), that targets x86_64. If it looks something like
gcc main.c -L/home/me/lib -lrequestedLib
that command will ignore /home/me/lib/librequestedLib.so (because you can't link together 32-bit and 64-bit code), and will continue searching for librequestedLib elsewhere. When it can't find a 64-bit version of librequestedLib, it will produce the error message you are gettiing.
I am trying to cross-compile linux for an ARM architecture.
The host is an X86 machine running ubuntu-jaunty. I downloaded a cross-compile toolchain for ARM from http://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/toolchain/. I downloaded the 2.95.3 version of the toolchain.
The problem I am having is that GCC is passing in some default flags by itself that is causing GCC to then output error:
/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin/arm-linux-gcc -specs=/home/feroze/wnr834m/marvell_WNR834M/gcc_specs -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/feroze/wnr834m/marvell_WNR834M/linux-88fxx81-1_1_3_gtk/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -DLED_DUAL_COLOR -DFOR_ROUTER -I/home/feroze/wnr834m/marvell_WNR834M/linux-88fxx81-1_1_3_gtk/arch/arm/mach-mv88fxx81/Soc/gpp/ -Uarm -fno-common -pipe -mapcs-32 -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=5 -march=armv5 -mtune=arm9tdmi -mshort-load-bytes -msoft-float -Uarm -march=strongarm -DKBUILD_BASENAME=main -c -o init/main.o init/main.c
cc1: bad value (strongarm) for -march= switch
make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/feroze/wnr834m/marvell_WNR834M/linux-88fxx81-1_1_3_gtk'
I checked the whole makefile, and could not find any place where LINUX_ARM_ARCH_5 and -march=armv5 are being defined. I am defining -march=strongarm in the makefile, but then it gets appended by theh ARMv5 defines.
So, I created a defs file from gcc, modified it to only have options for ARMv4, and then used it by specifying the -specs= option. However, that still doesnt solve the problem.
Can somemone help? How do I resolve this?
Thanks!

The -march flag is set in arch/ARM/Makefile, and depends on the machine you selected in your config file. If you don't want the armv5 flag, be sure to select the correct architecture in the config file.
You should assume the kernel appended CFLAGS are right (provided your config is ok) and if your toolchain does not support one of them, then you have no choice but to cross compile a toolchain by yourself, using the original crosstol script that should work with 2.95.3
Edit : original answer
What are you trying to build ?
a 2.95.3 toolchain is fairly ancient. You should try a more recent toolchain. You can find a precompiled one here
Pick the EABI one to start.
This is not a direct answer to your problem, but if you are building the linux kernel, you should not need to mess with the Makefiles. You will get more help if you can get a more "standard" toolchain.
This won't strictly help you eliminate the issue, but you can do gcc -dM -E <empty_file.c> or gcc -dM -E -x c /dev/null to print out a listing of all the predefined #defines for gcc. Combine -dM with another flag like your -march and you might be able to track down what's causing your #define issue.
Be sure to check your environment variables, as they can persuade make to do unexpected things.
If the Makefile includes another file, it could be modifying CFLAGS before CC is called. Can you print the contents of CFLAGS just before the CC call?
