Description Malo Deniélou 2013-03-13 00:00:51 CET

When typing "swipl-ld -h" on the command line, I get the following:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.6.3/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/home/iurt/rpm/BUILD/glibc-2.14.1/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:109: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gcc returned code 256
*** swipl-ld exit status 1

The mention of /home/iurt/ hints to a packaging problem ...

Hello,

I can reprodue this bug. I compiled SWI-Prolog from source code and I can see this error.

Can it be a problem associated to glibc or gcc?

Well, I will send this bug report to upstream.

Thank you;

No, it's not a gcc or glibc problem, it's a problem showing that some PATHS are not setup correctly during build.
It can usually be fixed by giving the appropriate configure option.
/home/iurt/ is the directory in which the build system builds packages.

Hi Malo,

"swipl-ld -h" don't work because "-h" is not a valid option to swipl-ld.

Try "swipl-ld -help". See:
