how to check C compiler status

[Shashi Bhargava]

hi,
i would like to check the C or ANSI C or C++ compiler working fine or not, because of user facing some problem so they are saying problem with C Compiler, so they asking to reload the C compiler, the user got error like


ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
$global$ (data) (probably missing /usr/ccs/lib/crt0.o)
Building the independent server mulserv
*** Expect unresolved references similar to:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied shared library symbols:


so that is error, and how can i check it out.

thanks
siva

Hi,
I would suggest you look at:

Seems to be the same/similar problem. Having one thread for one problem means updates can be tracked by the contributors.

Hi Siva:

# cat ./hello.c
#include
main ()
{
printf ("%s\n", "Hello world!");
exit (0);
}

# cc ./hello.c -o hello
# ./hello
Hello world!

Regards!

This is related to your previous posting. Technically, you are not having compiler problems, you are having linker (ld) problems but the problems really have nothing to dowith the compiler/linker itself and everything to do with your use of these tools. Your problems revolve around pilot error. Having said this, it is still a good idea to look for and install the latest compiler (and run-time compiler related), ld, and as patches applicable to your development environment.

You cannot conclude from the simple "Hello world" compile and link that all is well because very few libraries are included in that trivial exercise. It is, however, a good indication that the compiler/linker is fully functional.

If you correct your pilot errors, (ie properly configure your makefiles and select the correct compiler/linker options), then your problems will disappear.
