Erlang NIF Test -- OS X Lion - c

I'm trying to compile the NIF Test from Erlang (http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erl_nif.html) on Mac OS X Lion. I can't get it to compile. Am I missing a compiler flag? Here's the error I get:
Computer:~ me $ gcc -fPIC -shared -o niftest.so niftest.c -I /usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R14B02/lib/erlang/usr/include/
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_enif_make_string", referenced from:
_hello in ccXfh0oG.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I've also tried this with -m32 but it says there's no i386 architecture either.
Thanks!

for 64-bit Erlang, the following works for me:
gcc -undefined dynamic_lookup -dynamiclib niftest.c -o niftest.so \
-I /usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R14B02/lib/erlang/usr/include

It seems like your problem is not architecture but undefined symbol _enif_make_string, which means that you have to link with your enif library, whatever it is, using -l option. Also, it's been a long time since I built a shared library for OS X, but I think that the right flag to use is -dynamiclib and not -shared, and you don't have to have a space after -I.

Try using these flags when compiling your nif instead of -shared
-bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress

Can gcc -o and -S be used together

Can I use for example
gcc -o -S output.s abs.c
to generate an assembly file with name output.s? It seems like I can't. When I try to do that, I got following error message.
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_main", referenced from:
implicit entry/start for main executable ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit
code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I do not intend to use the linker, just try to examine the assembly code.
-o must be followed by the name of the output file. So, this would work:
gcc -S abc.c -o output.s

How to compile gcc 32bit app on 64bit osx

i try to compile a 32 bit app on my mac osx 64bit
I have a 32bit lib included.
I try to create a personal lib
gcc -m32 -c fileA.c -Iinclude -o fileA.o
gcc -m32 -c fileB.c -Iinclude -o fileB.o
All Ok
now I create .a File
ar ruv ./lib/myLib.a fileA.o fileB.o
When I try to launch
gcc -m32 -o imageMod imageMod.c -Iinclude -Llib
I receive the following error
Undefined symbols for architecture i386: "_addozzo", referenced
from:
_main in imageMod-nfyyGP.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1
(use -v to see invocation)
anyone can help me?
You need to tell gcc to link in the library:
gcc -m32 -o imageMod imageMod.c -Iinclude -Llib -l:myLib.a

Undefined symbol "start" while linking D program through LD

I have following simple program:
import std.stdio;
int main(string[] argv) {
writeln("Hello, world!");
return 0;
}
I'm building it as follows:
DMD -c -m64 -od/proj/out -w -wi -fPIC -debug \
-g -I/proj/hello -unittest /proj/hello.d
LD -L/usr/share/dmd/lib/ -arch x86_64 -execute -macosx_version_min 10.7 \
-pie -lm -lpthread -lphobos2 -o /proj/out/hello_app /proj/out/hello.o
Compilation passes perfectly, but linking stucks with following:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"start", referenced from:
-u command line option

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
I guess I forgot some additional static library to link with to have it setup everything, but what exactly?
Also I've seen instructions about how to do separate compilation and linking somewhere on dlang site, but cannot find it.
UPD1: When linking with help of GCC using gcc -L/usr/share/dmd/lib/ -lphobos2 -lm -lpthread hello.o, it works, but I need to use ld.
Add -lcrt1.o when linking.
LD -L/usr/share/dmd/lib/ -arch x86_64 -execute -macosx_version_min 10.7 \
-pie -lm -lpthread -lphobos2 -lcrt1.o -o /proj/out/hello_app /proj/out/hello.o
[update]
Ah, you got it : )
Found it due to pure luck!
It should be linked with -lphobos2 -lm -lpthread and -lcrt1.o - then everything links and works fine.

openSSL mac undefined symbol

I'm developing a TLSclient for MAC, and I'm having a little building my project on MACOSX (working very well on linux) and most particulary in using openssl libs.
Here's my console error I hope you could help me deal with:
gcc -lpthread -o *.o /opt//local/var/macports/software/openssl97/0.9.7m_0/opt/local/lib/openssl97/lib/libssl.a /opt//local/var/macports/software/openssl97/0.9.7m_0/opt/local/lib/openssl97/lib/libcrypto.a -ldl
Undefined symbols:
"_SSL_CTX_set_info_callback", referenced from:
_MTLSServer_Setup in MTLSServer.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mtls_server] Error 1
Thanks for your help
In OpenSSL 0.9.7 SSL_CTX_set_info_callback is a macro, and your code is trying to link to a function. This probably means you don't have the correct path to the headers.
I'm a little puzzled for other things in your command line:
Why are you statically linking with an old version of OpenSSL 0.9.7. Recent versions of Mac OS X have 0.9.8 included.
The -o *.o seems to be an error it should be -o something *.o
The -lpthread argument should be after libcrypto.

Compiling and Linking a C-Program for a 32-bit Architecture

So I'm working through an assignment for Stanford's CS107 course and I can't get past compiling the unfinished program (project files and the original makefile can be found on the course page, I'm working on assignment 4 RSS.)
After much research, I think the problem is I'm using gcc on a 64-bit architecture (Mac OS 10.6) and the pre-compiled library code under assn-4-rss-news-search-lib/linux is for a 32-bit architecture. I tried setting gcc to use i386 and -m36, but nothings working and I'm kind of just guessing.
So here's the output I get when I run make:
gcc -g -Wall -std=gnu99 -Wno-unused-function -c -o rss-news-search.o rss-news-search.c
gcc rss-news-search.o -g -Wall -std=gnu99 -Wno-unused-function -g -lnsl -lrssnews -L/Users/derp/Documents/OCW/CS107/Work/programming4/assn-4-rss-news-search-lib/linux -o rss-news-search
ld: library not found for -lnsl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rss-news-search] Error 1
Here's the output I get when I remove -lnsl where architecture differences are mentioned:
gcc -g -Wall -std=gnu99 -Wno-unused-function -c -o rss-news-search.o rss-news-search.c
gcc rss-news-search.o -g -Wall -std=gnu99 -Wno-unused-function -g -lrssnews -L/Users/derp/Documents/OCW/CS107/Work/programming4/assn-4-rss-news-search-lib/linux -o rss-news-search
ld: warning: in /Users/derp/Documents/OCW/CS107/Work/programming4/assn-4-rss-news-search-lib/linux/librssnews.a, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)
Undefined symbols:
"_URLConnectionDispose", referenced from:
_ProcessFeed in rss-news-search.o
_ParseArticle in rss-news-search.o
... several more undefined symbols mentioned ...
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rss-news-search] Error 1
So I'm asking for any ideas on what I could do to resolve this. I've been at it for hours tweaking settings and Google'ing around to no avail.
In case someone like me will be looking for answer after all this time passed...
Problem is easy solved by installing wubi version of 32bit Ubuntu. It works fine on 64bit system. You only need to edit makefile so it knows where to look for the libraries provided.
I'm pretty sure that using a precompiled library for linux on macos, whatever the bitness, won't work (well, it is probably possible to cross-compile on MacOS for Linux and perhaps possible to run Linux executable in a compatibility box on MacOS, but that's quite different than what you are trying to do).
libnsl is a standard library on Linux (it provides some networking related functions)
