Description Johnny Robeson 2015-07-30 03:53:12 UTC 
Description of problem:

I'm trying to build an application against the Nordic Semiconductor SDK, and fails to build my application with 

/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.9.2/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lc_nano

I looked inside the files owned by this package, and there is a libc.a, but not libc_nano.a.

It does include the nano.specs file for each arm architecture supported by this lib, but the library itself doesn't seem to be built by this application.

The ubuntu equivalent package does include these files as seen here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/all/libnewlib-arm-none-eabi/filelist

How reproducible:
every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attempt to build an application that uses -lc and includes nano.specs 
2.
3.

Actual results:

fails to build with :

/usr/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.9.2/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lc_nano

Expected results:

successfully builds

I've got a work in progress version of this, just so you can see how it's done.

I went through Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch's packages to see how they handled this.

I've made some other changes to the spec file in the process, so it'd be nice if we could meet on IRC or some similar place to talk about them. Particularly I'd like to talk about some of the ./configure flags. I've added comments in the spec that mentions the specific flags.
Comment 2 Johnny Robeson 2015-07-31 02:27:34 UTC 
Created attachment 1057899 [details]
updated version of the spec file

It's not a patch, because there are too many initial irrelevant changes.

thanks
Comment 4 Johnny Robeson 2015-08-31 19:21:06 UTC 
so what do you think about these parts? I was hoping to discuss them. I can't say I'm familiar with the, but is there any reason we don't use those options?

+# ARCH AND UBUNTU HAVE
+# --enable-newlib-io-long-long \
+# --enable-newlib-register-fini \
+# ARCH AND UBUNTU DON'T HAVE
+# --enable-interwork \
+# --enable-multilib \
Comment 5 Michal Hlavinka 2015-09-01 11:31:03 UTC 
I want to keep the options that ubuntu does not have:
> --enable-interwork      allows ARM and Thumb code to be used
> --enable-multilib       build multiple versions of some libs (e.g. soft- and hardfloat, little- and big endian)

I can probably add --enable-newlib-io-long-long 

For the --enable-newlib-register-fini even in ubuntu they discussed about removing this https://answers.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+question/227709 I did not find why they did not do it in the end.
Comment 6 Johnny Robeson 2015-09-01 21:34:28 UTC 
that sounds good to me. Honestly I didn't know anything about this lib.. I was just trying to make it work :)
Comment 7 Johnny Robeson 2015-09-01 21:35:01 UTC 
just remove those comments once you've decided

No. It will be automatically closed by update system once update passes testing and gets into stable update repository.
