Hi all,
I am building a software. I configured it ok but when I run make, I met an error as below:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

I don't think there is no glibc in my system.
But I don't understand why it happened
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance!
Hai

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
See 'man ld' :
The linker is looking for a library libc.a and doesn't find it.

On my system there are two libraries with this name :
one is part of the glibc package
another one is part of the klibc package.

On some distribution the .a libraries are not parts of the standard package, and need a devel package to be installed alongside (which it is not by default).

So look in these directions and post again if you don't find a solution.
But precise your distribution and the software you intend to build.

I would expect that 'ld' is looking for 'libc.so'
which is from the package 'glibc-devel' or
'libc6-dev' depending on the installed OS.
Different names for different Linux's.

Yes it may also be the shared library libc.so which is looked for by the linker.
I have that one also in the same packages as the .a static library.
In Arch Linux there is no devel packages, everything is included in the standard binary packages.
