Hi
when i try to issue cc in command prompt.
i get the following error.

#cc
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
main (Not referenced yet! Probably due to -u option)


Could anyone knows how to resolve this problem.

thanks.

Hmm... you know that cc is the C compliler. So you should specify something to compile...

[Jay C. Quibuloy]

Yup i know. but when i try to issue the command to the other machine with same O.S.,same software installed theres no error messages display.

# uname -a
HP-UX SERVER1 B.11.11 U 9000/800 119907872 unlimited-user license
# cc
#

Server with error.
# uname -a
HP-UX PPCHK B.11.11 U 9000/800 2758389902 unlimited-user license
# cc
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
main (Not referenced yet! Probably due to -u option)


do i need to re-install the HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.i (S800)

thanks

hai,

I have tested on 11.23 as
# cc
It is normal. no error message.

What is cc -v saying. Use the verbose type in ld. cc is working fine. ld is stating the problem.

Hi,

Issue which cc and let us know the cc path.
There could be some library version mismatch.
Normally /usr/ccs/bin/cc is link file.
You should have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set with the following,
/usr/lib:/opt/langtools/lib

Thanks

Ah, now I understand the question. :) Just checked on some of our systems... lokks like newer versions of the ANSI C bundle always call ld, which then prints the error message.

hai,

It is the problem because of ld.

Execute /usr/ccs/bin/ld -umain -lc
It will state the problem in all machines as like your's when it is executed separately.But In your system, ansi cc is linked with ld with -u main to execute the particular ld command.

Hi Dietmar

Thats exactly what we have. So What we gonna do. Its that a bug or what?

what should be the advantage and disadvantage of the newer version.

thanks.

[Muthukumar_5]

By default,

cc is executed as /usr/ccs/bin/ld /opt/langtools/lib/crt0.o -u main -lc command without any file.

So it will state the error messages. change to another ansi bundle if you don't want to have this error messages. You can verify from konerman's output of different cc.

Muthukumar.
