crt1.o not found

crt1.o not found

[Nate879]

When I try to use GCC, I get the message "crt1.o: No such file: No such file
or directory". How do I fix this? I am using Debian Linux.

Some other sites say to install "glibc-devel". But AFAIK, this package isn't
available.

The exact name of the package varies from distro to distro, but the
advice still holds.  Debian calls it "libc-dev" which is a virtual
package that currently expands to something like libc6-dev.

How did you manage to install a compiler without the APT dependencies
also causing this package to be installed?  It should be automatically
added.  Oh, I see, it's only "recommends:" not "depends:"
<http://packages.debian.org/etch/gcc>.

crt1.o not found

[bkohlen]

I am using a gcc, glibc, and ld which were compiled on i686, for an arm
host, with an arm target.  I packaged them by using

$ ./configure --prefix=$install_prefix (and a whole bunch of cross
compile flags)
$ make install prefix=/some/isolated/location"$install_prefix"

I noticed that libc.so still included the "/some/isolated/location" part
of the path, so I manually fixed that, because I intended to install
everything at it's respective "$install_prefix".

gcc works to compile a simple program, as long as I use the -c flag.  If
it tries to link, it gives the error:

$ gcc test.c
/usr/arm-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

if I manually try to link with crt1.o I get some undefined references

$ ld -o test /lib/crt1.o test.o -lc
/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `_fini'
/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x30): undefined reference to `_init'

I grepped the entire binutils package, looking for some reference to
"/some/isolated/location", thinking that maybe ld was playing the same
trick on me that libc.so had, but there were no hits.

ld --verbose revealed SEARCH_DIR's of (/lib) (/usr/lib) (/usr/local/lib)
and (/usr/arm-linux/lib). crt1.o is found in /lib on my system.  out of
desperation i copied it to /usr/lib, but it didn't improve things.

I would appreciate any help, and I realize this is a FAQ, but I can't
resolve the problem with any of the archive searching I have done.

Thanks,
Ben
