spect. GCC, i'm an italian student and i'm using gcc cross compiler to try to compile a .c file for a powerPC target using a solaris host. I've tried to compile by using the command line: powerpc-eabi-gcc -c - o../../marco/prova3.out ../../c-src/prova2.c and it correctly generate the obj file prova.o. When i try to generate the executable file, by writing the command line: powerpc-eabi-gcc -o ../../marco/prova3.out ../../c-src/prova2.c it doesn't work. It returns me an error. considering that it's able to create correctly obj file, i think that the problem is on the linking stage. It exactly give me this error: > powerpc-eabi-gcc -o ../../marco/prova3.out ../../c-src/prova2.c /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/../../../../powerpc- eabi/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 01800074 /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.te xt+0xc4): In function `__eabi': /users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:232: undefined reference to `__init' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x8):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:146: undefined refer ence to `__SDATA_START__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0xc):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:148: undefined refer ence to `__SBSS_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x14):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:150: undefined refe rence to `__SDATA2_START__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x18):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:151: undefined refe rence to `__SBSS2_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x1c):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:152: undefined refe rence to `__GOT_START__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x28):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:155: undefined refe rence to `__GOT_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x2c):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:156: undefined refe rence to `__GOT2_START__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x30):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:157: undefined refe rence to `__GOT2_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x34):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:158: undefined refe rence to `__FIXUP_START__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x38):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:159: undefined refe rence to `__FIXUP_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x3c):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:163: undefined refe rence to `__CTOR_LIST__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x40):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:164: undefined refe rence to `__CTOR_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x44):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:165: undefined refe rence to `__DTOR_LIST__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x48):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:166: undefined refe rence to `__DTOR_END__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x4c):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:167: undefined refe rence to `__EXCEPT_START__' /users/students/tesi08/tools/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-eabi/3.3.4/libgcc.a(eabi.o)(.go t2+0x50):/users/students/tesi08/sources/build-gcc/gcc/eabi.S:171: undefined refe rence to `__EXCEPT_END__' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status i wish to receive any information about this error and about the way to resolve it! thanks a lot Mignogna Alessandro
