Hello everyone,
I was previously using an old Ozkan build, from 2011-11-01. I compiled a
project and when that got to the stage to use ld.exe, I got the following error:
ld.exe: unrecognized option '--large-address-aware'
I thought this may have been due to me using an old tool chain, so I just
updated using mingw-builds-install.exe. I downloaded the GCC 4.8.1 x64 posix
sjlj rev 2 package. I was able to successfully compile GMP 5.1.2, so this all
seems to be working fine. I then tried to compile the original project again,
and I still get the error:
c:/mingw64-20130711/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
unrecognized option '--large-address-aware'
When I type:
ld --help
I see in the output:
--large-address-aware Executable supports virtual addresses greater than 2
gigabytes
Also to show which ld is being used:
$ which ld
/c/mingw64-20130711/mingw64/bin/ld.exe
The full command plus error is:
gcc -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=core2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNDEBUG
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -Wall -W -DMSIEVE_SVN_VERSION="\"914\"" -I. -Iinclude
-Ignfs -Ignfs/poly -Ignfs/poly/stage1 -DNO_ZLIB demo.c -o msieve
-Wl,--large-address-aware \
libmsieve.a -lgmp -lm -lpthread
c:/mingw64-20130711/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
unrecognized option '--large-address-aware'
c:/mingw64-20130711/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
use the --help option for usage information
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [all] Error 1
So, I was wondering, if I'm compiling on a WinXP x64 system (inside of MSYS)
and
I'll be using the binary on WinXP x64 and Win7 x64, do I even need the
--large-address-aware option to the MingW64 ld.exe? If so, how can I correct
the above error? If not, then I can just remove the option and the compile
will
succeed. Thanks for any help you can provide.
