Compiling mongoose for 32 BIT - c

I had modified make file as
linux:
$(CC) mongoose.c -shared -fPIC -fpic -m32 -o $(LIB) $(LINFLAGS)
$(CC) mongoose.c main.c -m32 -o $(PROG) $(LINFLAGS)
But when I run ld on mongoose I gets. I am getting warning that it is incompatible with i386
ld mongoose
ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `mongoose' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

ld is trying to create an x86-64 executable from your x86-32 object files, and is unhappy because that isn't something that makes sense. Use GCC to link instead of ld, passing the -m32 at link as well, and it will call the linker with the correct flags for linking x86-32 binaries.

i686-elf-gcc produces 64-Bit file instead of 32-Bit?

I was following the osdev barebones tutorial and made a custom Makefile to it, but when I ran make kernel to compile the system into a .bin file, I ran into an error while linking.
Linker output: src/kernel.o: file not recognized: file format not recognized
Linker command: $HOME/opt/cross/bin/i686-elf-gcc -T linker.ld -o kernel.bin -ffreestanding -O2 -nostdlib boot.o kernel.o -lgcc
I took a quick look into it, and I found out that i686-elf-gcc cross-compiler produced a 64-bit file. Weird.
I tried compiling kernel.c with the same flags, and it worked just fine. What could the problem be?
CPARAMS:
-std=gnu99 -ffreestanding -O2 -Wall -Wextra
MAKEFILE: $(GCC) $(CPARAMS) -c $# -o $<
So the actual command looks like this $HOME/opt/cross/bin/i686-elf-gcc -std=gnu99 -ffreestanding -O2 -Wall -Wextra -c kernel.c -o kernel.o
File produced by running compiler via make: kernel.o: ELF 64-bit
LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
File produced by running compiler from shell: kernel.o: ELF 32-bit
LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

How to properly link msgpack into a shared library

I'm trying to compile a few .c files that used msgpack-c functions into a shared library. I have the following Makefile:
MSGPACK_CS = msgpack.c
CFLAGS = -std=c99
MSGPACK_OBJECTS = $(subst .c,.o,$(MSGPACK_CS))
MSGPACK_LIBS = msgpack.so
all: $(MSGPACK_OBJECTS) $(MSGPACK_LIBS)
%.o: %.c
$(CC) -c -shared -fPIC $(CFLAGS) $<
$(MSGPACK_LIBS): $(MSGPACK_OBJECTS)
ld -Lmsgpack/.libs -share -o $# $(MSGPACK_OBJECTS) -lmsgpack
I can compile a program that uses msgpack without problem, but this gives me the following error:
msgpack.o: In function `msgpack_pack_int64':
/usr/local/include/msgpack/pack_template.h:373: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'
ld: msgpack.so: hidden symbol `__stack_chk_fail_local' isn't defined
ld: final link failed: Bad value
Apparently the linkage process isn't going well, but I don't know what is wrong. What can I do?
Try linking with the gcc driver instead of calling ld directly. ld doesn't know about the gcc support libs that are needed for the C runtime:
gcc -Lmsgpack/.libs -shared -o $# $(MSGPACK_OBJECTS) -lmsgpack
If this still doesnt't work, you might need to add -fno-stack-protector to your CFLAGS to supress runtime stack checking.

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

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).

Compiling to 32-bit using make

I am trying to compile a very simple program using the -m32 flag.
If I try to do this using gcc -m32 it works just fine(I have the needed libs)
Yet, when I add this flag to my flags in a makefile, I get a weird error
This is the makefile that I have
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-m32 -O1 -W -Wall -pedantic -std=c99
all: main.o
$(CC) -o main main.o
rm main.o
clean:
rm main
The error that I receive is the following
gcc -o main main.o
/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `main.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [all] Error 1
Can someone please tell me what does this mean? and how can I fix it?
As for the code, the code does NOTHING except printing 'hello world'
I am using GCC 4.4.3 under Linux 2.6.35 64-bits
Your mistake is that you don't pass -m32 to the linker.
You actually need to change your Makefile to look like this:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-m32 -O1 -W -Wall -pedantic -std=c99
LDFLAGS = -m32
all: main.o
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o main main.o
rm main.o
clean:
rm main
An even better approach would be the following Makefile:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-m32 -O1 -W -Wall -pedantic -std=c99
LDFLAGS=-m32
.INTERMEDIATE: main.o
all: main
main: main.o
clean:
-rm main
In the later you just say that main depends on main.o and GNU Make will invoke the linker with the LDFLAGS as arguments for you as it invokes the compiler with the CFLAGS as arguments for the main.o
"The targets which .INTERMEDIATE depends on are treated as intermediate files. See section Chains of Implicit Rules. .INTERMEDIATE with no dependencies marks all file targets mentioned in the makefile as intermediate." Special Built-in Target Names
You should inform the linker as well about the architecture being 32-bit. Try adding
LD = $(CC)
LDFLAGS = -m32
to your Makefile and change
$(CC) -o main main.o
to
$(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o main $^
and it shoud work.
(Why it worked? If you use GCC to compile and link your code in one step, all the relevant flags and options will be passed down not only to the compiler but to the linker as well.)
