cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory

cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi, 

When I want to make gcc 4.1.2 on my ubuntu 12.04 (x86_64), I get this error
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

Searching the web it seems that there is a problem with the location of crti. These files are available on the system
# find /usr/ -name crti*
/usr/lib32/crti.o
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o 

Also the libc6-dev package is installed

# dpkg -l | grep libc6
ii  libc6                                  2.15-0ubuntu10.3                        Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  libc6-dbg                              2.15-0ubuntu10.3                        Embedded GNU C Library: detached debugging symbols
ii  libc6-dev                              2.15-0ubuntu10.3                        Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files
ii  libc6-dev-i386                         2.15-0ubuntu10.3                        Embedded GNU C Library: 32-bit development libraries for AMD64
ii  libc6-i386                             2.15-0ubuntu10.3                        Embedded GNU C Library: 32-bit shared libraries for AMD64
ii  libc6-pic                              2.15-0ubuntu10.3                        Embedded GNU C Library: PIC archive library


How can I fix that?


Regards,
Mahmood

Ubuntu's multi-arch is not backwards-compatible.  You have to get a 
patched version of GCC 4.1 (not sure if this is available), or you can 
try to play with environment variables, as explained here:

Hope this helps.

That solution didn't work. However adding 

export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

partially solved the problem. Now I get:



/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libc.so when
searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`/usr/lib/../lib/crti.o' is incompatible with i386 output
/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`/usr/lib/../lib/crtn.o' is incompatible with i386 output



According to http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2009-05/msg00236.html
I ran "./configure --disable-multilib" and "make" again. However still get the same error.

Clean up the source tree and start again from an empty (separate) build 
tree.  I don;t think re-configuring with different flags always works 
reliably.

Yes thank you very much. I removed the folder and did everything from scratch.
