G++ ARM cross compiling: undefined references - c++

I am trying to compile the Jasmine OpenSSD code with arm-none-eabi-g++.
However, it first failed with the following error message
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8.2/../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
To fix that, I ensured that linking with libstdc++.a was possible. Once I fixed that, it failed with the following errors:
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8.2//libgcc.a(unwind-arm.o): In function `get_eit_entry':

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [firmware.elf] Error 1
Here is the actual step at which it fails:
arm-none-eabi-g++ -static -nostartfiles -ffreestanding -T ld_script -Wl,-O1,-Map=list.txt ftl.o sata_identify.o sata_cmd.o sata_isr.o sata_main.o sata_table.o initialize.o mem_util.o flash.o flash_wrapper.o misc.o uart.o init.o -o firmware.elf -L"/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8.2/" -lgcc
Can someone suggest a fix? Also, this works perfectly well if I use arm-none-eabi-gcc instead of arm-none-eabi-g++

Your problem is caused by exception handling code that is produced by the compiler, which relies on runtime components - those are not present in your build.
-fno-exceptions turns off exception handling in the code-generation of the compiler.

Undefined Reference to `SDL2_Init` with LD when G++ is not giving an error

(FYI Yes I do know that a similar question exists, But I have already tried all the answers.)
I'm trying to setup SDL2 with MinGW and I have everything set up beside one thing. Whenever I try to compile G++ gives no errors but then LD gives me a: undefined reference to SDL_Init Error.

I have tried to move the args around. doing -mwindows, adding -lmingw32. I still keep getting the same errors.. I was able to fix the WinMain Error.. But everything else I couldn't fix.
The command I'm Running to compile:
C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -g src\*.cpp -o build\game.exe -ID:C:\MinGW\include -LD:C:\MinGW\lib -mwindows -lSDL2main -lSDL2_image -lSDL2
If i could get any help that would be amazing
The common cause of mysterious undefined reference errors on MinGW is using libraries compiled for x64 with an x32 compiler, or vice versa. SDL ships both x32 and x64 ones, try the other ones.
I was able to fix the WinMain Error
Be aware that the intended way of fixing undefined reference to WinMain#16 is not adding #define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED and not doing #undef main. Once you get the right libraries (see the first paragraph), the error should disappear by itself.
Make sure you use int main(int, char**) (and not int main() nor void main()), otherwise it won't work.
-ID:C:\MinGW\include -LD:C:\MinGW\lib
You shouldn't need those flags. Those directories will be searched automatically.
Since you didn't specify any other directories, I assume you placed the SDL files directly into the compiler directories, which isn't a good practice, IMO.
I assume D:C: a typo?
-mwindows
The only purpose of this flag (that I know of) is to prevent your app from automatically opening a terminal window for itself, for release builds.

Undefined reference to nlopt_... symbols

I am fairly new to Fortran and this may sound like a silly question. I encounter an error when compiling the Fortran code that is posted as an example in the NLOPT Wiki.
I compile in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using the following command:
gfortran example-nlopt.f90 -o example-nlopt -I/usr/local/include/
The following error is produced in the terminal:
/tmp/ccbAim6b.o: In function `MAIN__':
example-nlopt.f90:(.text+0x26): undefined reference to `nlo_create_'
example-nlopt.f90:(.text+0x42): undefined reference to `nlo_get_lower_bounds_'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Based on what I saw in nlopt's documentation (https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NLopt_Installation/#changing-the-installation-directory) it looks like you just need to specify the library to link against. Maybe try this:
gfortran -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib example-nlopt.f90 -o example-nlopt -lnlopt -lm
This assumes you have the libnlopt.so in /usr/local/lib, if not then point to its location with the -L option.

Qt: compilation issue with minGW

I got a Qt environment that I need to compile.
But when compiling, I get the following messages:

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
where [MGWPATH] is C:/DevProgs/mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.8.2/../../../..
I sucessfully ran small demos of Qt4.8.6 alone and one with Qwt.
The only doubt I have is regarding the ftd2xx lib.
But, I think it is linked properly because I am able to produce errors of undefined function if I don't link the DLL.
The error message is not clear to me. So, I have absolutely no idea where to look from here!
Could someone help me?
Thank you!

__imp link errors using g++ running under mingw

I have a simple socket program that I'm trying to compile using g++ running in mingw (both the latest versions) on a Win8 system. I'm getting the common linker errors
undefined reference to `__imp_socket'
undefined reference to `__imp_gethostbyname'
I've tried adding -lws2_32 with no luck; i.e. it still can't find the references. Can someone suggest something else I might be missing?
Here's the full output:
G:\source\kak>g++ -o ./test_client -lws2_32 test_client.C

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Try putting the -lws2_32 after the test_client.C parameter. The linker of gcc (ld) is touchy about the order of linkable things, this is probably why it doesn't find your imported functions at link time.

with -lpthread, g++ compiler error, "undefined reference to " semaphore calls such as `sem_open'

I am new to posix thread library, and I tried to compile a sample code from a tutorial with:
g++ -lpthread agreement.cpp -o agreement
however I was not able to compile the code and got the following error message:
a3q2.cpp:(.text+0x7e): undefined reference to `sem_open'
a3q2.cpp:(.text+0xab): undefined reference to `sem_wait'
a3q2.cpp:(.text+0x290): undefined reference to `sem_post'
a3q2.cpp:(.text+0x2af): undefined reference to `sem_close'
a3q2.cpp:(.text+0x2bb): undefined reference to `sem_unlink'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [a3q2_exe] Error 1
I am aware that -lpthread is needed for compilation to work, but is there any other options i might need to solve the problem? if not how do I have to install the "proper" pthread library?
Thanks for your help!
You want the compile option -pthread (if you are really using pthreads). If you just need those functions they are in librt so use -lrt
