Re: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

Hello,

it looks like I have found a solution (but unluckily without knowing why it works):

http://bugs.t2-project.org/wiki/FAQ/libc.a   did the trick.

After reading around on the website I found that there is another FAQ under "Developer => issue tracking" and there I read:

/usr/lib/libc.a not found on host machine ¶

on most distributions this is a symptom the need of glibc-devel package, but on mandrake and PCLinuxOS it means you also need to install glibc-static-devel package.

Since Mandriva is a successor to mandrake (and PCLinuxos is based on mandriva) I just tried it. I installed glibc-static-devel and just compiled the "mine"-package successfully.

Let's see what other adventures await me...  ;)

Regards
Matthias

Hello,

it definitely depends on the host system.
On a debian it works. But this is the wrong computer to use.
The one that should be the builder has only Mandriva and so space to spare for another system.
How can I find out, what is the difference that breaks the build of "mine"?

Hello,

I still try to compile an T2 but do not come over "Building archiver/mine [0.23 7.0-rc2]" in stage 0

I add the lower part of the 0-mine.err file:

gcc -Icdb-0.75 -I/usr/include -Ilibtar-1.2.11/lib -I. -Wall -Os -Ilibtar-1.2.11/listhash -DMINE_VERSION=\"0.23\" -ggdb -DGEMCACHE=\"/var/cache/gem\" -DMINECURLOPT=\"/etc/mine.curlopt\" -DUSE_AVL=1 -DUSE_HASHOPT=1   -c -o mine.o mine.c

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mine.static] Error 1
Due to previous errors, no 0-mine.log file!

The line causing the error is "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc"
I do not see where ld is called and with witch parameters.

I assume this is once more a problem with my host system, a Mandriva 2008.0 one installation.

Where should I start to look for the error?

Thanks in advance
Matthias

P.S.: This is from 7.0rc2, but the same error occurs in trunk.
