I modified my specs file according to directions, now gcc doesn't compile anything. I suppose I have made a mistake, heres my modified spec file (or at least the releveant sections):

Code: Select all

*link:
%{shared: %{<et_dyn} }
%{!static:--eh-frame-hdr} -m elf_i386 %{shared:-shared}   %{!shared:     %{!ibcs:       %{!static:    %{rdynamic:-export-dynamic}    %{!dynamic-linker:-dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2}}    %{static:-static}}}

*lib:
%{pthread:-lpthread}    %{shared:-lc}    %{!shared:%{mieee-fp:-lieee} %{profile:-lc_p}%{!profile:-lc}}

*libgcc:
%{static|static-libgcc:-lgcc -lgcc_eh}%{!static:%{!static-libgcc:%{!shared:%{!shared-libgcc:-lgcc -lgcc_eh}%{shared-libgcc:-lgcc_s%M -lgcc}}%{shared:%{shared-libgcc:-lgcc_s%M}%{!shared-libgcc:-lgcc}}}}

*startfile:
%{shared: %{et_dyn:crt1S.o%s interp.o%s} }
%{!shared:      %{pg:gcrt1.o%s} %{!pg:%{p:gcrt1.o%s}              %{!p:%{profile:gcrt1.o%s}           %{!profile:crt1.o%s}}}}    crti.o%s %{static:crtbeginT.o%s}   %{!static:%{!shared:crtbegin.o%s} %{shared:crtbeginS.o%s}}



Where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

1. where did you put the crt1S.o and interp.o files?
2. what does 'gcc -shared -et_dyn some.c' do/say?

I put crt1S.o and interp.o in /usr/lib ... that's the location of crt1.o.

Code: Select all

laptop lib $ ls -l crt* interp.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1136 Jan  8 13:01 crt1.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1064 Mar 13 05:15 crt1S.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1888 Jan  8 13:01 crti.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1456 Jan  8 13:01 crtn.o
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          807 Mar 13 05:15 interp.o


Here is the result when I run gcc against the hello world a.c that comes with the et_dyn.zip:

Code: Select all

laptop linux $ gcc -shared -et_dyn a.c
a.c:9:2: warning: no newline at end of file

laptop linux $ ls

Here it is with the old specs file:

Code: Select all

laptop linux $ gcc -shared -et_dyn a.c
a.c:9:2: warning: no newline at end of file
laptop linux $ ./a.out
Segmentation fault
laptop linux $ gcc a.c
a.c:9:2: warning: no newline at end of file
laptop linux $ ./a.out
hello world


Here is gcc -v:

What does --enable-shared do? It's strange that it is in there twice.

Thanks,

i think what happened here is that when you changed the specs file, you introduced line breaks which you were not supposed to .

that must be an artifact from gentoo but it's harmless. it enables the creation of shared libraries of libgcc and others, more i don't know either.
