| 03:40.43 | miniPanda | hi, i met some problem when i try to compile an loader program on mips using cross-tools |
| 03:41.28 | miniPanda | they always echoed: could not read sysmbols: Archieve has no index; run ranlib to add one? |
| 03:45.51 | cpenguin_home | with a static lib, right? |
| 03:51.37 | miniPanda | yes, but include both static and dll |
| 03:51.52 | miniPanda | en, let me have a look... |
| 03:52.23 | miniPanda | libembext2fs.a , static liberauy |
| 03:53.41 | cpenguin_home | Yep - you will need to run ranlib on the library |
| 03:54.33 | miniPanda | hehe, sorry , but i'm a newbie using cross complier, should i use x86 ranlib or cross-platform ranlib here? |
| 03:55.05 | cpenguin_home | I would use the cross platform, just to be sure |
| 03:55.46 | miniPanda | then i type "mips-linux-ranlib ./libembext2fs.a " is that OK? |
| 03:56.38 | miniPanda | en, it seems nothing generate ? ;-< maybe i need some parameters? |
| 04:00.57 | cpenguin_home | Nope, it should be good |
| 04:42.35 | miniPanda | after "mips-linux-ranlib ./libembext2fs.a" nothing would generate? |
| 04:45.07 | BZFlag | what's the file size of libembext2fs.a ? |
| 04:45.40 | miniPanda | about 1642828 bytes |
| 04:46.22 | BZFlag | what does "file libembext2fs.a" say? |
| 04:47.14 | miniPanda | they say " ./libembext2fs.a: current ar archive" |
| 04:47.55 | BZFlag | try your link line again now that you have run ranlib. |
| 04:48.55 | miniPanda | you mean they should say "./libembext2fs.a: current mips-linux-ar archive"? |
| 04:50.01 | BZFlag | no, should be fine. if ranlib did not complain, then it may have done its job. so try linking again. |
| 04:52.47 | miniPanda | in my ./Makefile i modified the default LD=mips-linux-ld |
| 04:53.04 | miniPanda | so, can you tell me howto 'try linking again" thanks |
| 04:55.22 | BZFlag | do your make, then cut and paste the link command it displays that shows the error you posted. |
| 04:55.55 | BZFlag | if your make recreates the .a file, then copy the command, rerun mips-linux-ranlib, then paste the link command. |
| 04:55.56 | miniPanda | ok, i know! |
| 04:56.16 | BZFlag | if it works, then you need to fixup the link commands in the make file to run ranlib for you. |
| 04:58.56 | miniPanda | "mips-linux-ld -T ld.script -Map sibyl.map -static -o sibyl init.o main.o getfile -Llib/cfe -L../e2fsprogs/lib -lembext2fs -lstandalone -lnet -lcfe ../e2fsprogs/lib/c/libstandalone.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one,,, gmake: *** [sibyl] Error 1 |
| 05:00.56 | miniPanda | it seems that libembext2fs.a is Ok now, so error occured when linking libstandalone.a? |
| 05:04.57 | miniPanda | great BZFLAG and cpenguin! |
| 05:05.12 | miniPanda | thanks! i've complete my compiling ! |
| 05:05.16 | cpenguin_home | ranlib is your friend... :) |
| 05:05.47 | miniPanda | why? can you tell me why not include this command in Makefile ? |
| 05:16.00 | BZFlag | miniPanda: yes, add it to the makefiles if you can figure out where. |
| 06:19.22 | miniPanda | BZFlag are you Chinese? |
| 06:19.34 | miniPanda | i'm sorry to asking these! |
| 06:51.43 | BZFlag | miniPanda: nope. US. |
| 07:45.16 | miniPanda | thanks BZFLAg! can you tell me something about your embedded project? |
| 09:51.34 | BZFlag | which? |
| 09:51.37 | BZFlag | ~bzflag |
| 09:51.38 | | well, bzflag is TimRiker, former CTO of Embedix, Inc. (Lineo) and maintainer of the 3D internet multiplayer multiplatform (linux, irix, win32, etc) opensource opengl Battlezone capture the flag game of the same name that you must try at http://BZFlag.org/ or a continual development project with periodic gaming interruptions. |
| 09:52.24 | BZFlag | I ran TuxScreen.net and at Lineo/Embedix I'm involved in quite a few embedded projects including the Zaurus. |
| 09:53.03 | BZFlag | eLinux.org is just getting started. It will be a place for toolchains and complete embedded development systems eventually. |
