Question

I wrote a makefile:

all: server client
server: server.o des.o sha1.o
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o server server.o des.o sha1.o -I /usr/local/include/ -lgmp 
client: client.o des.o sha1.o
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o -lgmp client client.o des.o sha1.o -I /usr/local/include/ 
server.o: server.c
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c -lgmp server.c -I /usr/local/include/
client.o: client.c
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c -lgmp client.c -I /usr/local/include/
des.o: des.c des.h
/usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c -lgmp des.c -I /usr/local/include/
sha1.o: sha1.c sha1.h /usr/local/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c -lgmp sha1.c -I /usr/local/include/

clean: -rm *.o server client

then gcc told me that cannot find -lgmp. I tried to put it in other places, there were other different errors…

In plus, I want to know if it’s possible to put 2 elements in the target.

Answer 1

You probably need to provide a -L option to the compiler to add the directory containing the gmp library to the list of directories searched.

e.g.

-L/usr/local/lib

or

-L/usr/local/arm-2009q1/lib

As you appear to be cross-compiling you need a cross-compiled version of the gmp available in a path that you pass with a -L option.
