Cross-compile GCC for x86_64-w64-mingw32 target - c++

I would like to cross-compile GCC 6.3.0 for x86_64-w64-mingw32 target on Ubuntu 16.04.
I'm following the below steps:
Get the source files:
$ wget "http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/mingw-w64-release/mingw-w64-v5.0.1.tar.bz2"
$ wget "https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/binutils/binutils-2.27.tar.gz"
$ wget "https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gcc/gcc-6.3.0/gcc-6.3.0.tar.bz2"
Compile binutils-2.27 with:
$ ./configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-targets=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build --with-sysroot=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build
$ make
$ make install
Compile mingw-w64-v5:
$ mkdir build-headers
$ cd build-headers/
$ ../mingw-w64-headers/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32
$ make
$ make install
Create soft link to lib:
$ ln -s /home/user/gcc_mingw64/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32 mingw
$ ln -s /home/user/gcc_mingw64/build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib lib64
Compile gcc-6.3.0:
$ ./contrib/download_prerequisites
$ mkdir build_gcc
$ cd build_gcc
$ ../configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-targets=all --disable-werror --disable-shared --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --with-ld=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld --with-as=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-as --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --prefix=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build --with-sysroot=/home/user/gcc_mingw64/build
$ make
$ make install
The gcc compilation throw the following error:
checking for ld that supports -Wl,--gc-sections... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
Makefile:11457: recipe for target 'configure-target-libstdc++-v3' failed
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1
Any clue on how to fix this issue?

gRPC doesn't produce libraries for c++ on ubuntu

When I tried to run example of gRPC for c++ in folder grpc/examples/cpp/helloworld it requires libraries which weren't compiled when I built gRPC with Cmake
Firstly I built gRPC in Ububtu 16.04 with instructions:
$ git clone -b $(curl -L https://grpc.io/release) https://github.com/grpc/grpc
$ cd grpc
$ git submodule update --init
$ cd third_party/protobuf
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig # refresh shared library cache.
$ pkg-config --cflags protobuf # print compiler flags
$ pkg-config --libs protobuf # print linker flags
$ pkg-config --cflags --libs protobuf # print both
cd ../..
make
sudo make install
After that I tried to run example in folder grpc/examples/cpp/helloworld
grps/grpc/examples/cpp/helloworld$ make
i got several mistakes, which were resolved by copying grpc_cpp_plugin from folder grpc/bins/opt to /usr/local/bin and grpc++.pc and grpc++_unsecure.pc from grpc/libs/opt/pkgconfig/ to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
When I tried for the next time command
grpc/examples/cpp/helloworld$ make
I've got message
g++ helloworld.pb.o helloworld.grpc.pb.o greeter_client.o -L/usr/local/lib `pkg-config --libs protobuf grpc++ grpc` -pthread -Wl,--no-as-needed -lgrpc++_reflection -Wl,--as-needed -ldl -o greeter_client
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgrpc++
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgrpc++_reflection
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:44: recipe for target 'greeter_client' failed
make: *** [greeter_client] Error 1
So, I searched these libs libgrpc++ in folder grpc/libs/opt, but there only these libraries
grpc/libs/opt$ ls --l
libaddress_sorting.a libgrpc_cronet.so.8
libaddress_sorting.so libgrpc_cronet.so.8.0.0
libaddress_sorting.so.8 libgrpc_plugin_support.a
libaddress_sorting.so.8.0.0 libgrpc.so
libares.a libgrpc.so.8
libboringssl.a libgrpc.so.8.0.0
libgpr.a libgrpc_unsecure.a
libgpr.so libgrpc_unsecure.so
libgpr.so.8 libgrpc_unsecure.so.8
libgpr.so.8.0.0 libgrpc_unsecure.so.8.0.0
libgrpc.a pkgconfig
libgrpc_cronet.a protobuf
libgrpc_cronet.so
So make didn't compile static and dynamic libraries for gRPC. Is it I did something wrong or didn't something or there is a bug? Version of protobuf is
:~$ protoc --version
libprotoc 3.8.0
:~$ which protoc
/usr/bin/protoc
Here is some output after I run "make" from root directory
[MAKE] Generating /home/user/cpp_test/grps/grpc/libs/opt/pkgconfig/grpc++.pc
[MAKE] Generating /home/user/cpp_test/grps/grpc/libs/opt/pkgconfig/grpc++_unsecure.pc
So it creates pkgconfig files for "libgrpc++*" libraries, but doesn't create these libraries.
And these having libgrpc++
libgrpc++ depbase=`echo google/protobuf/io/tokenizer.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\
and
libgrpc++ depbase=`echo google/protobuf/util/delimited_message_util.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\
only two lines
It looks like you only ran make from the third_party/protobuf directory (which you need to do as the first step), and ran make from the helloworld directory. If you did not do so already, you should run make from the grpc repository root directory, per the documentation. This will ensure the libgrpc++* C++ libraries are built.
So, I resolved this problem.
When I run "make" on root gRPC folder, compilation ended with such result:
[CXX] Compiling /home/user/cpp_test/grps/grpc/gens/src/proto/grpc/core/stats.pb.cc
/home/user/cpp_test/grps/grpc/gens/src/proto/grpc/core/stats.pb.cc:187:13: error: ‘dynamic_init_dummy_src_2fproto_2fgrpc_2fcore_2fstats_2eproto’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable]
static bool dynamic_init_dummy_src_2fproto_2fgrpc_2fcore_2fstats_2eproto = []()
^
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:2924: recipe for target '/home/user/cpp_test/grps/grpc/objs/opt//home/user/cpp_test/august/grpc/gens/src/proto/grpc/core/stats.pb.o' failed
make: *** [/home/user/cpp_test/grps/grpc/objs/opt//home/user/cpp_test/august/grpc/gens/src/proto/grpc/core/stats.pb.o] Error 1
Because all warnings were treated as errors. And compiling of another libraries was stopped. So I manually added in Makefile in root gRPC directory flag -Wno-unused-variableat the end of 357 line. After adding this flag building of gRPC library went succesfully, and all libgrpc++* and libgrpc* libraries were built.
CPPFLAGS += -g -Wall -Wextra -Werror $(W_NO_UNKNOWN_WARNING_OPTION) -Wno-long-long -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-sign-conversion -Wno-shadow -Wno-conversion -Wno-implicit-fallthrough -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -DPB_FIELD_32BIT -DOSATOMIC_USE_INLINED=1 -Ithird_party/nanopb -Ithird_party/upb -Isrc/core/ext/upb-generated -Wno-unused-variable

CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_VERSION is pointing to the old GCC version

I have upgraded my GCC using:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 70 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8
Running any of these commands:
$ gcc --version
$ g++ --version
$ c++ --version
$ /usr/bin/gcc --version
$ /usr/bin/g++ --version
$ /usr/bin/c++ --version
would show (Ubuntu 8.1.0-5ubuntu1~16.04) 8.1.0 confirming that version 8.1 has been installed.
When running ./configure on cmake-3.12.1 I downloaded from its website I get:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 8.1.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 8.1.0
However when trying to make my actual project:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:24 (message):
GCC version must be at least 7.1! 5.4.0
This is my CMakeLists.txt:
if("${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID}" STREQUAL "GNU")
# require at least gcc 7.1
if (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_VERSION VERSION_LESS 7.1)
message(FATAL_ERROR "GCC version must be at least 7.1! " ${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_VERSION})
endif()
endif()
As Shawn, Tsyvarev and hellow have mentioned in the comments, this problem is caused by CMake cache file which was located inside /build/. Deleting the file solved the issue.

header file <execution> missing in gcc 7.2 (Ubuntu) : how to solve it?

few days ago I updated in my Ubuntu 16.04 Server Edition gcc to gcc 7.2 version:
gcc version 7.2.0 (Ubuntu 7.2.0-1ubuntu1~16.04)
which should be the most updated version of gcc available for Ubuntu
Now, compiling an example of a book,
g++ -std=c++17 auto_parallel.cpp -oauto_parallel
auto_parallel.cpp:5:10: fatal error: execution: No such file or directory
include <execution>
~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
How to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance. Marco
update your GUN compiler to version9, according to(https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support
and https://www.bojankomazec.com/2020/03/upgrading-gnu-cc-compilers-on-ubuntu.html)
sudo apt install -y gcc-9 g++-9 -y
and remap your compiler to gcc-9
sudo rm /usr/bin/g++
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-9 /usr/bin/g++
sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-9 /usr/bin/gcc
Verify the compiler version
ls -la /usr/bin/gcc
ls -la /usr/bin/g++

g++: as fails to determine which assembler to run

Today I wanted to recompile one of my projects. Compiling this project had already worked on my machine, but this time an error occured.
The compiler output goes:
fatal error: as: unknown host architecture (can't determine which assembler to run)`
for the line:
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I../../.vscode -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I../../.vscode -I. -o Main.o ../../Main.cpp
I tried to compile some other projects, but realized, that I wouldn't be able to compile anything using any c++ compiler, so I looked it up.
The only fitting thread I found was this one but the solution 'reinstalling binutils' didn't work for me (tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall binutils as well as --reinstall gcc, g++ and build-essential)
One possible reason for this problem that comes to my mind is the iOS-toolchain I installed yesterday - I had to install some different clang versions - but I actually didn't change anything on the system's assembler...
If someone's got an idea; any help would be appreciated :)
Additional info:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit
AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor × 6
uname -m
returns x86_64
gcc -march=native -v -E - 2>&1 <<<'' | grep "cc1" | egrep -o -e $'-m(arch|tune)=[^ "\']+'
returns -march=bdver2 and -mtune=bdver2
already tried gcc [...] -march with bdver2 and other architectures
g++ -v -c HelloWorld.cpp gives me: http://pastebin.com/Ks2be0hL
type -a as says:
as is /usr/local/bin/as
as is /usr/bin/as
as --version sadly just show's me the error again, but info as tells me it's binutils-2.26.1-system from 2016-08-07
dpkg -S /usr/bin/as prints: binutils: /usr/bin/as
type -a as says as is /usr/local/bin/as. This is what gcc is running, not /usr/bin/as, because /usr/local/bin/as is found first in your $PATH search order. This is why re-installing packages and so on is having no effect: something else you installed (probably manually) installed a non-standard as.
Have a look at /usr/local/bin/as and figure out where it came from, and what to do with it. For now you can just rename it to as.unknown or something, and then everything will use the normal system assembler (/usr/bin/as).
Remove binutils and reinstall it using the following steps:
Create an installation directory /opt/cross, and make sure you have write permission to .
sudo mkdir -p /opt/cross
sudo chown user /opt/cross
export PATH=/opt/cross/bin:$PATH
Download and install
wget http://mirrors.muzzy.it/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.9.tar.gz
tar xvf binutils-2.9.tar.gz
cd binutils-2.9
linux32 ./configure --prefix=/opt/cross --target=aarch64-linux --disable-multilib
If dosn't work remove --target=aarch64-linux, the --disable-multilib option means that we only want our Binutils installation to work with programs and libraries using the aarch64 instruction set, and not any related instruction sets such as aarch32, run:
linux32 ./configure --prefix=/opt/cross --disable-multilib
linux32 make
linux32 make install

Compiling GCC 6.1 on Ubuntu 16.04

Command I have used the following commands to build GCC 6.1:
sudo apt-get -y install libmpfr-dev libgmp3-dev libgmp-dev libmpc-dev flex bison libisl-dev
wget http://nl.mirror.babylon.network/gcc/releases/gcc-6.1.0/gcc-6.1.0.tar.bz2 -O - | tar xjvf -
cd gcc-6.1.0
./configure --enable-shared --disable-checking --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib
make -j4
When trying to compile GCC 6.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 / x86_64 I get the following error.

The problematic line seems to be this one:

can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
It says recompile with -fPIC, but I can't seem to find the ./configure flag which makes sure libc++11convenience gets built with -fPIC.
I have been searching for a solution, but couldn't find anything. What should I do at this point to successfully compile gcc6.1?
Read carefully the GCC install instructions. GCC should not be built inside its source tree:
First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory from the sources which does not reside within the source tree.
You should try again, perhaps something like:
wget \
http://nl.mirror.babylon.network/gcc/releases/gcc-6.1.0/gcc-6.1.0.tar.bz2 -O - \
| tar xjvf -
mkdir Gcc6BuildTree
cd Gcc6BuildTree
../gcc-6.1.0/configure --enable-shared --disable-checking \
--enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --program-suffix=-6
make -j4
BTW, try first /usr/bin/gcc -v; that will give you how the system compiler was configured & built. And it is inspirational.
Also, I strongly recommend using --program-suffix= (and I would recommend configuring also the GCCJIT)
And you might try first to run aptitude build-dep gcc-6 (or gcc-5) to get the useful dependencies (dependencies for GCC 6 have much in common with dependencies for GCC 5).
Perhaps your Ubuntu already ships with some gcc-6? Did you try aptitude install gcc-6 ? See also this answer.
Also GCC 6.2 was released a few weeks ago (in august 2016). You'll better build gcc 6.2 instead of gcc 6.1
Notice also that the source tarball has a contrib/download_prerequisites script which you might find useful.
NB: gcc-help#gcc.gnu.org might be a better place to ask your question.
