[SOLVED] Cross-compiled C code won't run
« on: December 02, 2021, 05:59:28 PM »
I built (with a lot of help from a friend who is a Solaris expert) bebbo's cross-compiler (https://github.com/bebbo/amiga-gcc) on my Sun T4-1.  I compiled helloworld.c:
Code: [Select]
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
       // printf() displays the string inside quotation
       printf("Hello, World!");
       return 0;
    }
without errors.  But when I try to run that on my Amiga, it doesn't print anything.  It also doesn't throw an error, it simply returns silently.  So I figured I'd try to run it with gdb (http://aminet.net/dev/gg/gdb-bin.lha) but I can't get that to work either.

Code: [Select]
5.FS3:> FS3:gdb4.16/bin/gdb helloworld
(nothing happens, so I press Return)
object not found
CD failed returncode 20
5.FS3:>
What am I doing wrong?  Is this a path issue, am I missing some libraries, or what?  The helloworld the cross-compiler made is attached (it's not really a zip file, just strip the suffix and run it) if that helps.

Ah ha.  I added the \n to the string and switched to Printf, compiled on the Sun, copied the output to the Amiga, and it ran fine!  So that's very cool.  I can now compile C code on the Sun using a more recent gcc than I can get for the Amiga natively.  And a lot faster too.  Thanks!
