Error gnu stubs-32 h No such file or directory while compiling Nachos source code

Question

I am trying to install Nachos on my laptop and I have Ubuntu 11 04 on the laptop    The code is in C and so to build it  I assume I will need cross compiler  This is where my problem is  I downloaded the source code of the MIPS cross compiler using the command     wget http   mll csie ntu edu tw course os f08 assignment mips-decstation linux-xgcc gz   and I unzipped it using   tar zxvf mips-decstation linux-xgcc gz         This is okay  but when I try to build the source code of the nachos os  using make  I get this error -   usr include gnu stubs h 7 27  fatal error  gnu stubs-32 h  No such file or directory compilation terminated  make       bitmap o  Error 1   I am trying to follow the instructions given over here - http   mll csie ntu edu tw course os f08 217 htm and everything is working fine except when I try to use make

You re missing the 32 bit libc dev package   On Ubuntu it s called libc6-dev-i386 - do sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386  See below for extra instructions for Ubuntu 12 04   On Red Hat distros  the package name is glibc-devel i686  Thanks to David Gardner s  comment    On CentOS 5 8  the package name is glibc-devel i386  Thanks to JimKleck s comment    On CentOS 6   7  the package name is glibc-devel i686   On SLES it s called glibc-devel-32bit - do zypper in glibc-devel-32bit   On Gentoo it s called sys-libs glibc - do emerge -1a sys-libs gcc   source   Note   One may use equery to confirm this is correct  do equery belongs belongs  usr include gnu stubs-32 h   On ArchLinux  the package name is lib32-glibc - do pacman -S lib32-glibc     Are you using Ubuntu 12 04  There is a known problem that puts the files in a non standard location  You ll also need to do   export LIBRARY PATH  usr lib   gcc -print-multiarch  export C INCLUDE PATH  usr include   gcc -print-multiarch  export CPLUS INCLUDE PATH  usr include   gcc -print-multiarch    somewhere before you build  say in your  bashrc      If you are also compiling C   code  you will also need the 32 bit stdc   library  If you see this warning            usr bin ld  cannot find -lstdc          On Ubuntu  you will need to do  sudo apt-get install g  -multilib  On CentOS 5 you will need to do yum install libstdc  -devel i386  On CentOS 6 you will need to do yum install libstdc  -devel i686  Please feel free to edit in the packages for other systems

I was getting following error on a fedora 18 box     1   usr include gnu stubs h 7 27  fatal error  gnu stubs-32 h  No such file or directory compilation terminated   I Installed glibc i686 and glibc-devel i686  then compilation failed with following error   2   usr bin ld  skipping incompatible  usr lib gcc x86 64-redhat-linux 4 7 2 libgcc s so when searching for -lgcc s  usr bin ld  cannot find -lgcc s collect2  error  ld returned 1 exit status  Solution   I installed  yum install  glibc i686 glibc-devel i386 and libgcc i686 to get rid of the compilation issue   Now compilation for 32 bit  -m32  works fine

Hmm well I am on ubuntu 12 04 and I got this same error when trying to compile gcc 4 7 2  I tried installing the libc6-dev-i386 package and got the following   Package libc6-dev-i386 is not available  but is referred to by another package  This may mean that the package is missing  has been obsoleted  or is only available from another source  E  Package  libc6-dev-i386  has no installation candidate   I also set the correct environment variables in bash   export LIBRARY PATH  usr lib   gcc -print-multiarch  export C INCLUDE PATH  usr include   gcc -print-multiarch  export CPLUS INCLUDE PATH  usr include   gcc -print-multiarch    however  I was still getting the error then I simply copied stubs-32 h over to where gcc was expecting to find it after doing a quick diff   vic ubuntu  usr include i386-linux-gnu gnu  diff       gnu    Only in     stubs-32 h Only in       gnu  stubs-64 h vic ubuntu  usr include i386-linux-gnu gnu  sudo cp stubs-32 h       gnu   sudo  password for vic   vic ubuntu  usr include i386-linux-gnu gnu  diff       gnu    Only in       gnu  stubs-64 h vic ubuntu  usr include i386-linux-gnu gnu    It s compiling now  let s see if it complains more

If you are facing this issue in Mac-OSX terminal with python  try updating the versions of the packages you are using  So  go to your files in python and where you specified the packages  update them to the latest versions available on the internet

This is now in the GCC wiki FAQ  see http   gcc gnu org wiki FAQ gnu stubs-32 h

On Debian Ubuntu use  sudo apt-get install g  -multilib libc6-dev-i386

FWIW  it smells like an error  or at least a potential source of future pain  to be using files from  usr include when cross-compiling

User · Answer

Try doing a sudo apt-get install libc6-dev   apt-file tells me that the file in question belongs to that package

User · Answer

sudo apt-get install g  -multilib  Should fix this error on 64-bit machines  Debian Ubuntu

gnu stubs-32 h is not directed included in programms  It s a back-end type header file of gnu stubs h  just like gnu stubs-64 h  You can install the multilib package to add both

From the GNU UPC website      Compiler build fails with fatal error  gnu stubs-32 h  No such file or   directory      This error message shows up on the 64 bit systems where GCC UPC   multilib feature is enabled  and it indicates that 32 bit version of   libc is not installed  There are two ways to correct this problem          Install 32 bit version of glibc  e g  glibc-devel i686 on Fedora    CentOS        Disable  multilib  build by supplying  --disable-multilib    switch on the compiler configuration command
