I am trying to use the GNU Multi-Precision (GMP) library with FreePascal under Linux.
I have a Pascal interface for GMP (originally for Kylix; translated from C header file). The header file libgmp.pas and my using program testgmp.pas compile fine. But linking fails. The message is /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/crti.o when searching for /usr/lib/crti.o /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib/crti.o This might be caused by the fact that I use a 64-bit machine with a 32-bit version of FPC. For that reason, I added the command-line option: -Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/32 Without this option, I get the message /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/crtbegin.o when searching for /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/crtbegin.o /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/crtbegin.o With the option, it does find the appropriate crtbegin.o. Therefore, I also added the command-line option -Fl/usr/lib32 But this does not help, since /usr/lib is searched first and there if finds the incompatible (64-bit?) version of crti.o, and fails. How can I force the linker to look in /usr/lib32 before /usr/lib ? When inspecting link.res, it starts out SEARCH_DIR(/lib/) SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/) SEARCH_DIR(/usr/X11R6/lib/) SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib32/) SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/32/) SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/) Apparently, the first three are forced 'out of nowhere', then there are the two options from the command line, and then the one from /etc/fpc.cfg, followed by a long list of directories named /usr/lib/fpc/* . Where do the first three come from? Can those be (re)moved? Thanks, Tom -- E-MAIL: T.Verhoeff @ TUE.NL | Dept. of Math. & Comp.
