Hi Chandler, The case is similar on Ubuntu 13.04. In the patch, I reused the idea of finding the gcc installation directories in the ToolChains.cpp file, as a part of identifying lib paths under ScanLibDirForGCCTriple(). It seemed to be the simplest way to identify the directories of the form Major.Minor.Patch (4.8.1 or 4.7.3) in order to look up the header files. I agree that we will look at all the directories in the path, i.e. 4.8.1, 4.8, 4.7.3, 4.7, but will stop as soon as one of the directories exist.

On a vanilla 13.10 installation + arm cross compiler we have /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8 being a symbolic link to 4.8.1, but in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/ there is only a 4.8.1. The net result is that arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.8 searches headers in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.8.1 /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.8.1/arm-linux-gnueabihf /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/c++/4.8.1/backward /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/include /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/include-fixed /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/include /usr/include but libraries in -L/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8 -L/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/../lib -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib Cheers, Rafael _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
