llvm dev - Dec 2003 - [LLVMdev] Can you hint on solution to following problem

gccld: Cannot find linker input file 'crtend.o

I have set the LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH

 ls -l $LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH 
total 104
-rw-r--r--    1 muj20    muj20       12788 Dec  7 17:05 crtend.o
-rw-r--r--    1 muj20    muj20        1984 Dec  7 17:05 libc.bc
-rw-r--r--    1 muj20    muj20         120 Dec  7 17:05 libcurses.bc

I'm really not sure.  Can you send some more details?  For example, are
you using LLVM 1.0 or LLVM CVS?  If you are using the LLVM 1.0 C/C++
front-end with the LLVM CVS tree, you will probably have to do 'make
install' in the llvm/runtime directory to install the updated runtime
libraries in the LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH directory.

Also, if this doesn't help, please send the output of 'gccld -v
<arguments>' if you would.  If you are using gccld indirectly through
the
llvmgcc compiler driver, just pass '-Wl,-v' on the llvmgcc command-line.

Thanks,

-Chris

	Interesting.  I'm not sure what is wrong.

	Please try the following things:

1. Make sure that LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH is exported (i.e. use 'export 
LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH' for sh/ksh shells, or 'setenv LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH
"<directory>"' for csh/tcsh shells).  If it's not
exported, gccld won't
may not see the variable's value.

2. Run "file $LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH/crtend.o".  If the file type is
data,
then it's a bytecode file.  If the file type is some sort of ELF type, 
then crtend.o somehow got compiled into a native binary file, and gccld 
won't use it.

3. Try using the full pathname to crtend.o when using gccld.

	If none of these things help, then please send us a follow-up email to 
llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu.  In that email, please tell us what OS you're using 
and whether you're using LLVM 1.0 or whether you've updated from our CVS
respository.

Regards,

John T. Criswell
