I am trying to create an C application on Debian GNU/Linux which uses the PortAudio interface. To do this I must compile my program with gcc -lrt -lasound -ljack -lpthread -o YOUR_BINARY main.c libportaudio.a from this docs.
For this I installed libasound2-dev, and I checked where the files are using apt-file search libasound.so, this is the output:
lib32asound2: /usr/lib32/libasound.so.2
lib32asound2: /usr/lib32/libasound.so.2.0.0
lib32asound2-dev: /usr/lib32/libasound.so
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2.0.0
libasound2-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so
So the libasound should be installed correctly, but when I compile my program with this makefile:
DMXTest: main.c libdmx.a
gcc -static -Wall main.c -L. -ldmx -lusb -lrt -lasound -ljack -lfftw3 -g -o main libportaudio.a
I get the following error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lasound.
How can I link this library correctly?
You don't have libasound.a for -static, you will need that, or you can almost certainly just remove -static from the Makefile (likely in LDFLAGS or CFLAGS).
There's is a related Debian bug 522544, and a related Ubuntu bug #993959.
You may be able to build your own libasound from source, though as it also uses other libraries (notably libpthread.so, librt.so and libdl.so) I suspect it may remove some functionality when you build it statically, though it's supported with ./configure --enable-static at build time
(or try --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes).
FWIW, the use of static binaries is "discouraged" by the glibc maintainers, though I don't agree...
To compile my code i used the following command
gcc -o rec_mic rec_mic.c -lasound
and it works perfectly, without create my own static library.

Problem with linking portaudio into an c program on Linux.
System: Linux Ubuntu 20.4 i5 16 GB
ALSA and pulseaudio were preinstralled.
gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0
gcc -Wall wm_1.c -lm libportaudio.a -o wm_1
The linker gives me more than 100 error messages all of type "undefined reference"
Here 2 examples out of >100
/home/max/Desktop/dev/portaudio/src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c:504: undefined reference to snd_pcm_status_get_delay' /home/max/Desktop/dev/portaudio/src/hostapi/oss/pa_unix_oss.c:1778: undefined reference to __pthread_unregister_cancel'
So its obvious that the named parameter/function can not be found.
The error messages all point to source files in the source directory (the directory of the portaudio
package I downloaded to creatie the libs which were all created without error.
The libs are in /usr/local/..
libportaudio.a libportaudio.la libportaudio.so libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so.2.0.0 pkgconfig python3.8
and I copied libportaudio.a into the project directory. The lib has a a size of 1.1 MB .
if I use the dynamic libportaudio.so I get the error messages at run time.
I suspect that something went totally wrong with creating the libraries but I have no idea how to solve that
Other option:
Linking parameter or files missing ?
Header file ?
The same program compiles, links and runs without any problem on a iMac OS 10.13.6
where I used the dynamic lib .dylib.
gcc -v wm_1.c libportaudio.dylib -o wm_1
From the documentation:
Note that you will usually need to link with the approriate libraries that you used, such as ALSA and JACK, as well as with librt and libpthread. For example:
gcc main.c libportaudio.a -lrt -lm -lasound -ljack -pthread -o YOUR_BINARY
A little googling goes a long way...
This works:
gcc -Wall wm_1.c -lm libportaudio.a -lasound -pthread -o test.
gcc main.c libportaudio.a -lrt -lm -lasound -ljack -pthread -o YOUR_BINARY
I used that page and the command line at the begin using all 3 parameter but got errors, probably of misspelling, so I gave up on that (also because on the Mac OS it was not necessary). It now links without errors using -lasound and -pthread only (-pthread alone gives still errors and the use/not use of -ljack makes no difference).
I get some errors when I run the program but probably because of missing or wrong ALSA parameter settings. I found -pthread but I could not find -ljack and -lasound.
So the question: what are this 2 parameter doing?
It must be link parameter, but where is the documentation, I searched ld and gcc and did not find anything, while -pthread is documented.
I am a Unix/Linux newbie who is trying to run a shell script written by a person who left no documentation and has since demised. This script contains line:
./search $opt1 $arg1 < $poly 2>&1 | tee $output
Which is trying to get the file $poly and call program ./search and divert the output to $output.
When I get to this line, I am given message: ./search: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
search is a C program called from the script and is in the same folder as various other C programs to do with this project. Script and C programs were developed and originally executed on a Unix/Linux box which is no longer available, so I have been asked to try to resurrect this project but under Windows using gcc in NetBeans and cygwin.
The message : ./search: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error is most likely to do with the fact there is no executable file for search. When I try to build the C programs I get the following output:
C:\cygwin64\bin\make.exe -f Makefile
gcc -ansi -g -c cbuild.c
gcc -ansi -g -c complex.c
gcc -ansi -g -c mylib.c
gcc -ansi -g -c poly.c
gcc -ansi -g -c real.c
gcc -ansi -g -c zero.c
gcc -lgmp -lm -lrt -o cbuild cbuild.o complex.o mylib.o poly.o real.o zero.o
real.o: In function `rabs':
/cygdrive/c/../progs/real.c:9: undefined reference to `__imp___gmpf_abs'
/cygdrive/c/../progs/real.c:9:(.text+0x1e): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `__imp___gmpf_abs'
real.o: In function `radd':
I assume that R_X86_64_PC32 refers to the environment I am using. I am using a 64 bit version of Netbeans with gcc 5.4.0 in a 64 bit version of cygwin on Windows 10.
Can anyone advise what I must to to resolve this so that I can build the C programs?
The problem is this:
gcc -lgmp -lm -lrt -o cbuild cbuild.o complex.o mylib.o poly.o real.o zero.o
By default, the linker will link libraries and objects in the order specified on the command line, and, when linking a library, will only include symbols needed by things before it on the command line. Since -lgmp is first, there are (as yet) no outstanding symbols (except main), so nothing is included from the library. When later objects need the symbols from it, they won't see them.
Change the order to
gcc -o cbuild cbuild.o complex.o mylib.o poly.o real.o zero.o -lgmp -lm -lrt
and it should work. Alternately, use the -Wl,--as_needed linker option to get the linker to remember earlier libraries and relink them if more symbols from them are referenced by later object files (requires a recent version of the GNU linker -- I have no idea if it works with cygwin).
This kind of misordering is usually a symptom of a broken Makefile. The normal Makefile structure has a bunch of variables that are set to control the default rules that know how to compile source files and link object files. The two variables relevant for linking are LDFLAGS and LDLIBS, and the difference is that LDFLAGS comes before all the object files on the command line and LDLIBS comes after all the object files.
So in order to make things work, you need to ensure that all of the -l options and other libraries are in LDLIBS:
LDLIBS = -lgmp -lrt -lm
and NOT in LDFLAGS
I'm trying to compile and link some .c file. I have been using Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers, and in my local machine i can compile without problems. However, when i try to compile and link the same file in a RedHat OS (gcc version is 4.9.2-6 in this OS) i'm having problems. I get some warnings at compile time, but those are fine, i think, i just ignored and the application still runs fine. Here are the commands i executed and the associated output:
gcc -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -std=c99 -MMD -MP -MF"example.d" -MT"example.d" -o "example.o" "example.c"
warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
warning: implicit declaration of function ‘wait’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
This generates two files, example.d and example.o. Then, i try to link them, without luck, with the following command:
gcc -Xlinker -L/usr/lib -lrt -static -pthread example.o -o example
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The commands are taken directly from the ones that Eclipse generates, and work just fine in my local computer (Ubuntu OS) but not in the RedHat environment. The last command didn't work, with and without the -L option. I suppose the directory in -L is fine, as i run, for example,
locate libpthread.so
And one of the locations i get is /usr/lib (also /usr/lib64, but neither work).
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! :)
If you try to link a static executable, it will look for the *.a versions of the libraries, not what you usually want. Remove the -static flag. Or you can install the static libraries if you really want to. It also should not be necessary to add -L/usr/lib explicitly.
I have read this thread on llvm-dev and is faced with the same problem: I cannot link the llvm-ar archieve library with other bitcode files into another single bitcode file with the help of llvm-link.
clang -emit-llvm -g -c -o main.bc main.c
clang -emit-llvm -g -c -o calc.bc calc.c
llvm-ar rcs libcalc.la calc.bc
llvm-link libcalc.la main.bc -o test
the problem is the same: llvm-link complains
llvm-link: libcalc.la:1:2: error: expected integer
!<arch>
^
And after reading How to link object to libraries with LLVM >= 3.1 ? ( no GNU ld ), I also tried a llvm2.9 version of llvm-ld.
llvm-ld --disable-opt libcalc.la main.bc -o test
however libcalc.la is not linked into the module correctly and lli reports:
LLVM ERROR: Program used external function 'Square' which could not be resolved!
So what should i do?
UPDATE
I then read Can't link against static library when compiling objects from LLVM bitcode. and find that llvm-ld WORKS when changing the order:
llvm-ld --disable-opt main.bc libcalc.la -o test
But llvm-link still fails.
llvm-link does not support bitcode archives, AFAIK. It simply goes over the input files it was provided, and tries to parse each one as a bitcode file (either binary or textual LLVM IR).
llvm-ld doesn't exist in the newer LLVMs, so I would suggest to stay away from it completely.
Just link the separate .bc files together with llvm-link. The archiving of bitcode files doesn't have the same benefits for the linker as in native linking anyway.
You don't need archivers to link your bitcode files:
clang -emit-llvm -g -c -o main.bc main.c
clang -emit-llvm -g -c -o calc.bc calc.c
clang main.bc calc.bc -o test
My program links to both PETSc and gsl, and both libraries were compiled with icc. Here's the link command:
/usr/local/mpich2/bin/mpicc -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unknown-pragmas -g3 -I/usr/local/gsl-icc-1.15/include/ -I/usr/local/gsl-icc-1.15/include/ -L/usr/local/gsl-icc-1.15/lib/ -lgsl -lgslcblas prog_name.o -L/usr/local/petsc-3.2-p6/lib -lpetsc -lX11 -lpthread -llapack -lblas -L/central/intel/Compiler-11.1.072/mkl/lib/em64t -L/central/intel/Compiler-11.1.072/lib/intel64 -L/central/intel/Compiler-11.1.072/tbb/intel64/cc3.4.3_libc2.3.4_kernel2.6.9/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2 -ldl -lgcc_s -lifport -lifcore -limf -lsvml -lm -lipgo -lirc -lpthread -lirc_s -lm -lstdc++ -lstdc++ -ldl -lgcc_s -ldl -o prog_name
MPICH_CC is set to icc, so mpicc calls the intel compiler.
When I try to link to the gsl .so file, I get the following errors:
gsl-icc-1.15/lib/libgsl.so: undefined reference to `__intel_sse2_strcpy'
gsl-icc-1.15/lib/libgsl.so: undefined reference to `__intel_sse2_strchr'
gsl-icc-1.15/lib/libgsl.so: undefined reference to `__intel_sse2_strncpy'
What could be the cause of this error? Is gsl incompatible with the intel compiler?
What could be the cause of this error?
You didn't show us your link command, but my crystall ball tells me that you are trying to link libgsl.so with ld (or perhaps with gcc), instead of icc.
In general, one should never link anything directly with ld on UNIX. Always use appropriate compiler driver (icc in this case).
I also get the same error message when linking some code with gcc against a PETSc version that was compiled with icc. Even more, when using the newest Intel 12.x compiler for the final code, and compiling PETSc with Intel 11.x results in the same error message as Intel 12.x uses 11.x.
So check, that mpicc really use the Intel 11.1.072 compiler. Check for mpic++ -show and which icc.
Maybe the intel environment not set.
Try the following environment setting:
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/iccvars_intel64.sh
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/ifortvars_intel64.sh
make the folder to your Intel Compiler folder. Some version's environment setting is different, you can also try:
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/iccvars.sh intel64
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/ifortvars.sh intel64
Hope helpfully.
