crosstools-ng can't find pthread.so

Question

I am trying to use crosstools-ng to compile a program that uses pthread, however for some reason the linker can\'t find the library. I have checked and the libraries are located

Answer 1

Edit your .../usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libpthread.so:

/* GNU ld script
Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-littlearm)
GROUP ( /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libpthread.so.0 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libpthread_nonshared.a )

to

/* GNU ld script
Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-littlearm)
GROUP ( libpthread.so.0 libpthread_nonshared.a )
