Will C++ Application run in computer without gcc c-compiler

srivembu · 09-02-2005, 03:53 AM

Hi ,

I'm developing a multithreaded C++ application by linking static libraries
It run fine in system with C compiler . But it fail if gcc version what I have compiled is not present saying could not load libstdc++.so.5 or ibstdc++.so.6 .

Is C application needs gcc installed in the target end system.

Should use any other compiler option to run my application in computer without gcc installed in it .

thanks in advance

Regards.

When gcc project is compiled into a program, the user won't need compiler to run this, already compiled program. User's function usually stays with ./program (after chmod +x if needed)

hi SlackerLX,

Thanks for ur reply.

If c++ application doesn't needs gcc then why it exits quoting application could not load libstdc++.so.X (X is 5 or 6) .

Will all program require libstdc++ since firefox installation also exits for same reason .

I have encountered another problem running my application exiting it could load libstdc++.so.5 in a system with gcc version 3.4 and higher version libstdc++.so.6

thanks in advance

regards,

Sri

It requires libraries not compilers

If you are a little more clear about what distro you're using .. then we can suggest what you can do to install that library ...

Your problem is one of the more common problems .. so you can also search in google for the solution for your distro ...

This solution can also help .. so check this out :

Solution: Create symbolic links to make the libraries appear in the old folder:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
