Raspbian: arm-none-eabi-ld: cannot find -lm - c

I'm building an app on Raspebian (Rpi3b+) using the gcc-arm-none-eabi toolchain (which I installed via sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi).
I successfully compiled my sources, but the linking step:
arm-none-eabi-ld modes.c.o turing.c.o light.c.o dark.c.o pix.c.o --relocatable -o tlrcextractortest -lm
fails with:
arm-none-eabi-ld: cannot find -lm
What could be wrong? Which package do I need to install to get the missing lib?

GCC:- unable to find libpthread_nonshared.a file while linking libraries to create a so file on Linux

Hi I'm trying to compile a c project with gcc 10.2 in Ubuntu 20.04.
But at the end it gives me error as below
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Below are the libraries I'm trying to link while creating a so file
-lpthread -ldl -lm -lstdc++ -lrt
When i looked into /usr/lib64 i could see only *.so files but no *.a files.
Do we need to install them separately?
Could someone help with this.
Do we need to install them separately?
You need to install glibc-devel (or similar) package.

ld cannot find libjasper library

I am trying to link an application with gc on Ubuntu 18.04. ld cannot find the libjasper library. I installed it manually with these commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libjasper1 libjasper-dev
but got this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibjasper
I tried this command to add the library but didn't work:
gcc -o cnn connected_layer.c connected_layer.h convolutional_layer.c convolutional_layer.h image.c image.h maxpool_layer.c maxpool_layer.h network.c network.h tests.c -Wall `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` -flto -ffast-math -L /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -l libjasper
Replace
-l libjasper
by
-l jasper
lib is just a mandatory suffix to library files, which is ignored when specifying the name to the linker.

gcc cannot find -lglfw3 && i was unable to add the path

I am running CentOS 6.4, I have just installed GLFW 3.0.4 for some software package for CFD L-B visualisation. That's not my issue, the issue is that I was following instructions to test of GLFW was installed properly, I ran into some issues.
I began by
g++ -c main.cpp
Which has outputted main.o file, and went onto run this with the help of advice of another thread :
g++ main.o -o main.exec `pkg-config --libs glfw3` -lGL -lGLU -lglfw3 -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -ldlD
which has then given me this error code:
Package glfw3 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glfw3.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glfw3' found
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglfw3
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Have tried adding -L or -B to the path of glfw3.pc and no use,
Can you please advise on how I can get this to work properly?

Can't compile a file with SDL library linked on Ubuntu

We have an assignment to compile a file with SDL library linked. The file itself shouldn't contain any errors since almost everyone managed to compile it. I've installed SDL 1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with the following commands:
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
I'm compiling it with the following command:
gcc -o sdl_introduction sdl_introduction.c `sdl-config --cflags --libs`
I'm using with gcc 4.6.3
and I'm getting this error:
/usr/local/lib/libSDL.so: undefined reference to `_XGetRequest'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
What could cause the problem?
I have faced the same problem as you, it is caused by the SDL library needing other libraries to link with on ubuntu(or linux generally)
I recommend copiling it with :
gcc -o sdl_introduction sdl_introduction.c -lX11 -pthread `sdl-config --cflags --libs`
Notice the added -lX11 and -pthread.
EDIT:
My bad I forgot that you must add -lX11 and -pthread after the other flags.
Resulting in:
gcc -o sdl_introduction sdl_introduction.c `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -lX11 -pthread

gcc /usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lncurses

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm currently working on a project involving C, OpenGL, a teapot and input methods.
The problem started when I decided to have arrow keys as input. I checked to see the key codes for arrow keys but all of the arrows return 0. I looked up how to get this to work and I found conio.h. Unfortunately, it is an old DOS header that is not available for Linux. Then I found a substitute called ncurses.
After installing the necessary libraries, by following the build instructions closely, I #included curses.h in my main.c source. When I first tried to compile using gcc, I got the following errors:
main.o:main.c:function _Key: error: undefined reference to 'stdscr'
main.o:main.c:function _Key: error: undefined reference to 'wgetch'
main.o:main.c:function _Key: error: undefined reference to 'stdscr'
main.o:main.c:function _Key: error: undefined reference to 'wgetch'
I found a fix by adding -lncurses to the makefile like so:
SOURCES=main.c
main: main.o
gcc -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lncurses main.o -o main
main.o: main.c
gcc -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -c main.c
But I was greeted by another error:
/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lncurses
As well as the previous errors.
I have spent the last 2 days searching both the Ubuntu forums and StackOverFlow. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I don't know if this is important but when I try to run /usr/bin/ld I get this error:
ld: fatal error: no input files
For anyone with the same problem I had: I was missing the 32 bit libraries; I was compiling 32 bit on a 64 bit server which was missing the lib32ncurses5-dev package.
On Ubuntu I simply ran:
sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-dev
First off, you should put the libraries after the object file when linking. And not have them at all in the compilation of of the source file.
After that, if ncurses is not installed in a standard search folder you need to point out to the linker where it is, this is done with the -L command line option:
gcc main.o -o main -L/location/of/ncurses -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lncurses
Try installing the ncurses-static package too, if you have only the ncurses-devel package installed in your Ubuntu OS.
If that solves your problem, plus if you add #Joachim's compiling instructions, you are off to a great start.
gcc main.o -o main -L/location/of/ncurses -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lncurses
The linker can't find your shared library in it's search path. If you add the directory where your shared lib is to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable the linker should find it and be able to link against it. In that case you could omit the -L option to gcc:
gcc main.o -o main -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lncurses
And it should compile fine.
EDIT:
Good to know that apt-get install libncurses5-dev fixes your problem.
FYI.
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable contains a colon separated list of paths that the linker uses to resolve library dependencies at run time. These paths will be given priority over the standard library paths /lib and /usr/lib. The standard paths will still be searched, but only after the list of paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been exhausted.
The best way to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH is to set it on the command line or script immediately before executing the program. This way you can keep the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH isolated from the rest of your system i.e. local to the current running running instance of shell.
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/path/to/libncurses/library/directory/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
$ gcc main.o -o main -lm -lGL -lGLU -lglut -lncurses
