Hi all,
I made a cross compiler build to be used from windows (long story)
It appears to work, if I do something simple eg
int x=10,y=11,z;


z=x+y;

it works.

However if I call a C lib header it reports the header missing for example
#include <stdlib.h>

it can't fin stdlib.h ?

So I've tried adding the path to the the windows enviroment paths. This doesn't help. I tried adding the paths to my makefile and/or full path to the include, this works however reports lots of missing includes from the stdlib file? (Headers from top of stdlib.h stuff)

Can anyone advise? Do I need a windows build of gcc installed? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Hi -

If you happened to be running Linux, and you happened to be using a standard gcc compiler, then you *should* be able to find "stdlib.h" in "/usr/include".

But you haven't given enough information in your post that we know WHAT the heck you're doing. We don't know what OS you're running (Windows? Linux? Something else entirely?). We don't know what compiler you're using (VC++? DJGCC? Something else entirely?) We don't know what your environment is, or how you might have altered/customized that environment for your specific toolchain.

The best I can suggest is:

1. Do a "find / -name stdlb.h -print" (or whatever the equivalent might be for your particular OS).

2. Add "-Ixyz" to your compiler line, for whatever directory "xyz" your stdlib.h actually lives in.

3. If you *don't* have "stdlib.h", comment it out from the source file that's using it ... and see if anything fails to compile (e.g. what function/structure definitions does your application need from "stdlib.h" in the first place?) Then find the corresponding header that your particular C compiler defines them in.

Good luck .. PSM
