Hi all,

Thanks to Richard's recent improvements in the oe-core tree, I finally got my
first MinGW build to compile through and generate a SDK tarball.

Next issue is that on windows GCC is unable to find the crt1.o, crti.o and
crtbegin.o files. when compiling a small hello world app (see gist
<https://gist.github.com/fgretief/6429416#file-mingw-gcc-verbose-output-2013-09-03>
[1] for gcc verbose output). I verified that the files are indeed in the SDK
folders and was correctly unpacked.

Next, I checked the search path (-L) options and they point to the respective
directories where the files reside.

Is it hard coded somewhere GCC should look for these files?  Can anyone give me
some pointers where to start looking?

Usually GCC can learn the location where it was executed from, and then use a relative path from that to the location where the libc and other components are located.

Cheers,

ps. I have noticed that there is a relocate_sdk.py file in the root of the SDK
folder. What is it's purpose and can it have anything to do with the GCC search
paths?

On linux we play with the RPATH and other components to ensure that the executables can file the libraries for execution. I don't believe that is a problem on windows as the DLLs are searched automatically.
