Hello all

Im using an embedded platform which is running openwrt.

To build SW for this platform I have put the tolls on a PC running mandrake linux.

So I start with a very simple program called test1.c

int main(void)
{
   return 0;
   
}

Then on the command line I use

arm-linux-uclibc-gcc test1.c -L /home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/lib 

and I get

/home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-uclibc/4.1.2/../../../../arm-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: warning: ld-uClibc.so.0, needed by /home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/lib/libc.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to `_dl_app_init_array'
/home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to `_dl_app_fini_array'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Im stuck here
home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/lib  contains     ld-uClibc.so.0   I can see it when I look in File Manager

Do I need another library include path?

Many  thanks for any help.

Regards

Denis

i dont have a build chain here atm - and cant reboot now, but try adding -I /home/denis/work/toolchain-arm_gcc4.1.2/include - since you dont have an include path.

if it doesnt help, just build openwrt, then you will see how the makefile invokes the compiler. just press ctrl+c and read the log searching for compiler calls.

Hm.....

And there was me trying to do the simple things first.

I get the following when I run make

[denis@localhost OpenWrt-SDK-at91-for-Linux-i686]$ make

Guys

It would be a great help to get a simple makefile with a simple C file that created something that would run on the platform.

Anyone got a sample?

Thanks

Denis

do this! you miss dependencies on the build-system. on debian "apt-get install libncurses-dev flex patch subversion"

also those links might help:

Thanks mrii

Im using mandrake http://www2.mandriva.com/

Any idea how I install with it

thanks

Denis

with your paket manager: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandriva_L … ge_manager

then read the links i posted and voila, you can compile binaries for your desired router

ok right now Mnadrake is a pain for development. Great Desktop though!

I eventually figured out how to log in as root and used urpmi flex etc.....

I now have everything except ncurses.

Checking and installing anything to do with ncurses or Libncurses as follows

No idea whats wrong now.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Hi,
After installation of libncurses-devel, you should have the requiered files.
Try make now
