Hello, I'm trying to compile a Linux hello world executable on macOS. The first step is simple: clang -c -target x86_64-linux-gnu -c -o hello.o hello.c But linking results in an error: ld.lld --sysroot=/linuxroot/ -o hello -m elf_x86_64 \ -dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 \ /lib/crt1.o \ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o ../hello.o \ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so \ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crtn.o ld.lld: error: cannot open /lib/crt1.o: No such file or directory ld.lld: error: cannot open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: No such file or directory /linuxroot/ contains all the necessary files copied from a Linux machine: /linuxroot/lib/crt1.o, /linuxroot/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o, etc It works if I use a full path for each file (-dynamic-linker /linuxroot/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ...), but the resulting binary doesn't work on Linux, because it's dynamically linked to /linuxroot/... which is missing on the Linux box. file hi hi: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /linuxroot/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped The only way I can make it work is to have actual /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o etc on my macOS box, which --sysroot is supposed to help avoid. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. I've been following the docs, but couldn't figure it out on my own. Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In the above command line, you are directly specifying object file and so file paths without -l, so the linker looks at the only given locations. This is an expected behavior. I think, unlike some other linkers, --sysroot option isn't very useful for lld, because lld doesn't have a notion of built-in default search paths. You always have to specify library search paths by -L option to lld. So why don't you specify library directories with -L, like this? $ ld.lld -o hello -m elf_x86-64 -dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -L /linuxroot/usr/lib -lc /linuxroot/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crtn.o> /linuxroot/ contains all the necessary files copied from a Linux machine: > /linuxroot/lib/crt1.o, /linuxroot/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o, etc > > It works if I use a full path for each file (-dynamic-linker > /linuxroot/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ...), but the resulting binary > doesn't work on Linux, because it's dynamically linked to /linuxroot/... > which is missing on the Linux box. > > file hi > hi: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically > linked, interpreter /linuxroot/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux > 3.2.0, not stripped > > The only way I can make it work is to have actual > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o etc on my macOS box, which --sysroot is > supposed to help avoid. > > I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.
