FB 0.14 Linux: missing library?

jdebord · Post by **jdebord** » Jul 24, 2005 12:55

The compiler complains that it can't find the libbfd library.

Where can I find it?

It's part of the binutils project ... maybe there's something like a binutils-dev package?

Hi, Im having the same problem when trying to compile, do I need freebasic 0.13 before installing 0.14B? And if so, where can I get it (0.13)?

binutils should be part of your distribution. We cannot provide one because it's different for every distribution.

If you cannot find it, download the sources from http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ and compile it yourself.

Discovered I have binutils already installed, but I'm still getting the same error.

"/usr/share/freebasic/bin/as: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.15.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Any ideas?

Could it be that the binutils that came with my distro didn't have all the libs? I'll try updating and see if it sorts itself out.

Hi@all!

I'm running Debian Sid (Unstable) and have the same problems.

Binutils and Binutils-dev are installed, but the version in Sid is 2.16.1 instead of 2.15 (as in Debian Sarge or Etch), therefore in /usr/lib are the files libbfd-2.16.1.so and libbfd.so (which symlinks to the first one).

Is it possible to configure as not to use libbfd-2.15.so but simply libbfd.so?

Greetings!

Heh, Linux dependency hell... didn't realize it when I thought of adding as/ar/ld to the FB package. :/

I will have to look if I can build as/ar/ld myself as static linked programs, so no dependency problems will arise. Sorry for the inconvenience...

Ok, reuploaded the whole FB 0.14 Linux package to Sourceforge with staticly linked as/ar/ld, which now only depend upon libc6.
If you had compiling troubles with 0.14 so far, download the package again and reinstall it:

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

The problem seems to be solved, FreeBASIC compiles without troubles.

Thank you, lillo!
