compiling with gcc in a chroot'ed system

guru · 1 Jun 2019, 17:22

I have in my BQ E4.5 below ~phablet/myRoot a complete Linux un-tared to be able to compile and test things there. I did this already in the time of Canonical.

The root fs was made of un-taring ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz

Now I can not figure out to compile something there. The configure fails with:

# ./configure CC=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc 
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p

checking for gcc... /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/src/libassuan-2.5.1':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

In config.log it is missing the file crt1.o nd maybe others:

configure:3667: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3689: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried as well with he normal compile CC=gcc
What additional packages I have to install in this system and which gcc to use?

Thanks

To answer my own question:

root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt-get install gcc
root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt-get install libc-dev
root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt-get install make
