Dependencies when using gcc-generated object files in another compiler

Fri Dec 15 17:56:00 GMT 2006

Looks like the greenhills compilers don't use the same ABI and GCC. 
Interpoperation at the C++ and Java level would be quite difficult. You 
don't say what the OS is, but the java runtime (libgcj) would need 
porting as well. It relies heavily on the OS for thread support, signal 
handling, locks...
Your best bet might be to use gcc for everything if possible.
FWIW, we are using GCC to run java programs on embedded mips (on Linux) 
with great success.

For this reason I am using gcj to translate my java code to native mips code and then link with Greenhills the whole project. But the linker complains, as expected, about unresolved symbols, even when I include all the archives from the libs dir of my cross compiler. The Problem is I have no idea, where I could search for the rest of the objects I need. Perhaps someone could tell me if gcc searches somewhere else too for libs when cross compiling.
