link problems with zlib on Solaris sparc 64-bit - zlib

When trying to build zlib-1.2.5 (or the latest, 1.2.7) on a Solaris-10 sparc machine, I get:
Relevant env. vars:

I found the answer by now: Use option -xcode=pic32

Mac OS gcc linking c and asm

I decided to learn how to make own OS by tutorial, I wrote boot on NASM and kernel on C also linker.ld and makefile. When I try linking all together I have this kind of error:
ld: library not found for -lgcc
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Also, I have installed binutils using homebrew but it doesn't help me. I have Mac OS 10.14
And this is my makefile:
CC = gcc
main: kernel.c linker.ld boot.asm
nasm -felf32 boot.asm -o boot.o
$(CC) -c kernel.c -o kernel.o -std=gnu99 -ffreestanding -Wall -Wextra
$(CC) -T linker.ld -o basilica.bin -ffreestanding -nostdlib boot.o kernel.o -lgcc
cp basilica.bin isodir/boot/basilica.bin
grub-mkrescue -o basilica.iso isodir
clean:
rm ./*.o ./*.bin ./*.iso ./isodir/boot/*.bin
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this error: ld: library not found for -lgcc? Please help me.

Building a C application against an external library on linux

I'm working on a Linux project in C consisting of two different open source applications. "Project A" (libduo) creates an archive used for linking a couple test programs and creates the library like this:
/usr/bin/ar rv libduo.a duo.o http_parser.o https.o match.o parson.o urlenc.o
/usr/bin/ar: creating libduo.a
a - duo.o
a - http_parser.o
a - https.o
a - match.o
a - parson.o
a - urlenc.o
ranlib libduo.a
One of the libduo test programs is built like this:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -I. -I. -DDUODIR=\"/usr/local/duo/libduo/etc\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c test-duologin.c
gcc -o test-duologin test-duologin.o -L. -lduo -lssl -lcrypto
"Project B" is an OpenLDAP module which I've built with -lduo and a few options to tell it where to find things:
(cd .libs && rm -f pw-apr1.la && ln -s ../pw-apr1.la pw-apr1.la)
../../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -g -O2 -Wall -I../../../include -I../../../include -I../../../servers/slapd -I../../../contrib/slapd-modules/passwd/libduo -c pw-duo.c

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -I../../../include -I../../../include -I../../../servers/slapd -I../../../contrib/slapd-modules/passwd/libduo -c pw-duo.c -o pw-duo.o >/dev/null 2>&1
../../../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -version-info 0:0:0 \
-rpath /usr/local/libexec/openldap -module -o pw-duo.la pw-duo.lo libduo.a -lduo
*** Warning: Linking the shared library pw-duo.la against the

libduo.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:51: recipe for target 'pw-duo.la' failed
make: *** [pw-duo.la] Error 1
The Makefile I'm using is the same one distributed with the OpenLDAP project. I've just added a section in the Makefile to build my module, using the same options for the other modules already there but adding -lduo to my section along with the paths to the libduo includes and libduo.a.
As make suggests above, I've recompiled by adding -fPIC after the -Wall option but it the same error was repeated. As a last resort, I tried adding -static to the module build but make was having none of that either:
*** Warning: Linking the shared library pw-duo.la against the
*** static library libduo.a is not portable!
This is the first time I've tried to build a C application against a lib not in the standard Linux locations so not exactly sure what's going on. I suspect libduo is built intended to be statically linked into everything, but the OpenLDAP modules are designed to use shared libraries. Can anyone elucidate?
Update: with help of comments below and this link I created a shared library from the .o files and distributed/built against that.

using C and cuda create shared library got error at link stage

I was really struggled with this error when I try to build a shared library. My code utilize the Lapacke library and also CUDA. when I compile them, there are no errors(I compile them as)
gcc -m64 -Wall -fPIC -c xxx.c -o xxx.o $(INC)
where INC includes all directories
INC=-I. -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/ -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/linux/ I$/home/sniu/lapack-3.5.0/lapacke/include/ -I${CUDA_INSTALL_PATH}/include/ -I/home/sniu/CBLAS/include/
for cuda part, I wrote it as:
nvcc -m64 -arch=sm_20 -Xcompiler -fPIC $(INC) -c xxx.cu -o xxx.o
but I got the error message at the link stage:
gcc -m64 -D_REENTRANT -Wall -fPIC -g -shared -o libjniWrapper.so jniWrapper.o cholesky_inv.o wls_acc.o utils.o -L/home/sniu/lapack-3.5.0 -L/opt/cuda-toolkit/5.5.22/lib64 -lm -llapacke -llapack -lblas -lgfortran -lrt -lcudart -lcublas -ldl
/usr/bin/ld: /home/sniu/lapack-3.5.0/liblapacke.a(lapacke_dpotrf.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/home/sniu/lapack-3.5.0/liblapacke.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I am very sure libraries are there, I really confused why I got this error.
Any suggestions are appreciated, Thank you so much!

why cant link 64bit static libgcc on ubuntu

I have problem link libgcc into a static linked .so
it only happens when linking 64bit module with -m64

The answer is basically "you can't do that." You're trying to link non-PIC code into a shared library, which is simply impossible on the x86_64 (amd64) architecture. You would need a static but PIC version of libgcc, and I suspect that would be only the start of your problems.
One of the reasons why libgcc is normally shared is that a given running executable has to have one and only one copy of some of the key data structures that libgcc maintains. Static linking makes sense for a final executable, since that one and only one copy will be the one statically linked into the executable, but the whole point of a dynamic object is to be loaded into another executable (which in turn will have its own copy of libgcc, either shared or static).

Error compiling c using gcc on AIX

I'm trying to build a simple c application using gcc on aix
gcc -I. -c hello.c -o hello.o
gcc -o helloWorld hello.o -L helloHelper.so -ldl
I get the following errors
ld 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .PrintHello
PrintHello is a method in the library helloHelper.
I can build the application in windows.
The option -L is for indicating directories where to search for libraries. To link a dynamic library directly, just put it in the linker command:
gcc -o helloWorld hello.o helloHelper.so -ldl
Other option would be to use -lhelloHelper but then the library should be called libhelloHelper.so.
Try this:
gcc -o helloworld hello.o -L. -lhelloHelper -ldl
