I've found someone tried to compile his code using gcc ... -mrdrand .... I've found this is a -mmachine-option in gcc man page. I know how to add libraries to project settingto then by clicking on build I will see -l(library) on gcc compling code line. But don't know how to add something where to be able to see -mrdrand?
Update
I've found right click on project -> Properties ->C/C++ build -> GCC C copmiler -> dialact -> Other dialact flags. In this field I've added -mrdrnd and the code has been compiled successfully. Is there any other official place to doing this?

I've been trying to compile a simple multithreaded piece of code I found online in an effort to learn how to multithread.
To run this piece of code I need to use the compiler flags: -pthread and -std=c++0x.
But whenever I try to add the flags the build log doesn't show them being used.
I've tried some generic tips online to get these to work, but none of them worked. Can someone help?
I've tried other advice online to add compiler flags to code blocks, but when I do that and check the build log none of them appear.
Because This Question was marked as Duplicate, even if doesn't have to do with it, because there is about Linker Flag and here is about Compiler Flags, I will post My answer HERE.
You will have to go to Settings -> Compiler... and next you'll have to click on Linker Settings TAB.
On the right side you will see Other Linker Options.
There you have to type -lpthread and press OK.
You may need to click on rebuild after that.
Open your project and then go Project > Build Options > Compiler Flags .
You can tick boxes in the "Compiler Flags" tab, and you can write other options in the "Other Options" tab.
Do one or the other, e.g. don't tick the "-std=c++98" box and also put "-std=c++11" in the Other Options. This will end up in both options being passed to the compiler.
Another option instead of using the "other options" is to create a custom compiler flag. So in addition to a compiler flag, you can specify a linker flag. In the case of the -pthread (which I also was having trouble with) it looked like it needed the linker flag as well, as mentioned by Michi
One can create a new compiler flag by right clicking and selecting the new option
add options: menu->project->properties->Build targets tab->Build options button
This is my first time of trying to develop with C programming language. I tried installing codeblock on my window 8 operating system, but whenever I run the codeblock program I get this error in the image below
I installed codeblock hopping that it would install the compiler alongside, but I was disappointed. I do not know how to install the standalone compiler, I checked it up online, but I really do not know from where to start, and I do not know if the problem is with my system. I would appreciate help on how to make my codeblock work properly or any other suggestions. Thanks all.
When running CB for the first time, you are prompted with a "Compiler auto-detection" dialog/window.
It looks like you chose the WRONG COMPILER -> GCC for MSP430 micro controller!
Correct that to GCC/MinGW
EDIT - 1: Its usually the first option on the "Compiler auto-detection" dialog
EDIT - 2
I think you may also have selected the wrong compiler for your CB project
For C project, Follow these steps:-
Create a new project -> Console application for C/C++,
Skip the first page, click next
Provide a title & path, click next
at compiler selection screen, select "GNU GCC Compiler" instead of "GNU GCC Compiler for MSP430"
The compiler might not be included in the Code::Blocks you downloaded (if you got codeblocks-12.11-setup.exe). There's another downloadable binary (codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe) that includes the MinGW environment with the GNU GCC compiler. You might want to try that one.
Step-1 : Visit www.mingw.org/
Step-2 : Download and install all package.(Specially mark the the file starting from mingw)
Step-3 : Goto to installation and Apply Changes.
Step-4 : Now open your code block
Step-5 : Goto to Setting->Compiler
Step-6 : Now click toolchain executable AND SELECT GNU GCC COMPILER
Step-7: Click autodetect and then OK
I hope this will definitely work out, All the best
Just goto setting > compiler and click on "restore default" . Then yes and ok .Done . I think it will never occur the error.
I am running a Eclipse for C/C++ using cygwin GCC. I need to get the library path of "libws2_32.a", which is in C:\cygwin\lib\w32api for me in windows. However I do not understand how this is translated into a cygwin-path.
I've tried stuff like:
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/lib/w32api
/lib/w32api
/usr/lib/w32api
Any ideas?
EDIT: update
Here's the make Eclipse log used for building, if it helps:
make all
Building target: Filesharing_core.dll
Invoking: Cygwin C Linker
gcc -L/cygdrive/c/cygwin/lib/w32api -shared -o"Filesharing_core.dll" ./src/test.o -llibws2_32.a
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -llibws2_32.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Filesharing_core.dll] Error 1
It's not a problem with the path; it's a problem with the name of the library (the -l option).
Where you have entered libws2_32.a, instead enter ws2_32.
See the GCC manual for how the -l option works.
Generally, when asking for help with programming, don't describe, but show. Don't describe what you're doing; don't describe what you think the error is. Instead, show exactly what you're doing, show the exact code (or a cut down version that exhibits the same problem), and show the exact error message.
This way others don't have to guess as to what's wrong, and you are more likely to receive an answer right away that solves your problem.
You can use the find utility to find the file, although it may take a while.
find / -name libws2_32.a -print
Edit: Based on your edit to the question, simply move -llibws2_32.a to before ./src/test.o.
The folder C:\Opt\Cygwin\lib\w32api or whatever it is in your system is simply /lib/w32api from within Cygwin. The library you're looking for is /lib/w32api/libws2_32.a.
But I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. I guess your Eclipse in running in Windows, and not from a Cygwin'ized version of Java? Why are you using Cygwin GCC? Do you want to compile for Cygwin? If not, MinGW or TDM-GCC would be the tool to pick.
If you do want to compile for the Cygwin environment using Eclipse (a combination I haven't tried), then user experience like the following might be helpful:

(I simply googled: eclipse cygwin gcc)
I've compiled my C program using gcc 4.4.1 using the flag -g, but when I try to step through one of my functions in gdb version 7.0, I get the message:
"Single stepping until exit from function _DictionaryTree_getNodeList,
which has no line number information."
Can someone tell me why this is happening?
Just guessing, but is _DictionaryTree_getNodeList in another file that wasn't compiled with -g?
I had the same problem but in my case adding -g to the compiler wasn't enough so I used -ggdb as suggested by Manav.
In my case, the problem was version skew between gcc and gdb.
After landing here from search and none of these answers fit my situation, I figured out that (because of aliases / symlinks / Makefile / environment variables) I was accidentally using a newer GCC (4.8.x) and an older GDB (7.2). Stepping up to a newer version of GDB (7.8) fixed the problem. For some reason, using a newer GCC and older GDB didn't work.
I had this error message too but the source of my problem was different. If anyone is still having any problems, make sure you have #include <stdio.h> in your file, with the the appropriate brackets around stdio.h (the text message would not show up if I had it around stdio.h).
I had the same issue, when I compiled a file using -g option and without -g option.
For one of the file, the gdb showed line number without any issues(even when it was compiled without -g option)..
And for the other file, I had to explicitly mention -g flag...
Any ideas as to whether the source file could be loaded at run time in
GDB with cross referencing would be good solution... by mapping the
lines to the addresses :D.
I had this issue because I was debugging a shared library without pointing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to correct location with debug endstates.
you can use
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<location of the debug build of the .so file>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Hopefully this is helpful to someone
I had the same trouble despite I was already compiling with -g2. Changing it to -g3 did the trick.
Im using GBD 12 , im not able to use any of these flags and options , also im debugging .exe file , so yes I used makefile
(I'm not sure if "flag" is the word I'm looking for, but I'll explain it.)
I am trying to compile a program that uses the GMP big number library. But to be able to compile with GMP, I have to add -lgmp to the end of the command. For example, if I want to compile "program.c", I have to type gcc program.c -lgmp. This is easy from the command line, but I don't see how to do it in Xcode. How can I add the lgmp flag while using Xcode?
Right-click the target in the Xcode Groups and Files list and select Get Info from the contextual menu. In the Build tab, type linker into the search field and then locate the Other Linker Flags item.
Double-click the Other Linker Flags item and add -lgmp.
Maybe this helps:
You can also open the active target's preferences, and click the "General" tab. You can add the library to be linked inside that tab, in the "Linked Libraries" section at the botton.
Taken from http://www.soulstorm-creations.com/PROJECT_SOULSTORM_2_0/programming-articles/installing-portable-libraries-on-os-x.html
You can just open the folder containing libgmp.a on your system (/usr/local/lib/ for a default install), and drag the library out of the folder onto the target that you want it to get linked into. There are several other ways as well, such as the one suggested by Zitrax.
