Using 32-bit g++ to build 64-bit binaries on AIX

I am trying to build a 64-bit binary from C++ code using 32-bit g++ compiler. I am getting the following errors while building:

It seems I need 64-bit libstdc++ available on my build system. Could someone please throw some light on to solve this?

1. Is it OK to build 64-bit binaries using 32-bit g++ compiler on AIX 5.2?

2. Where should I get 64-bit libstdc++? Will this 64 bit libstdc++ work with 32-bit g++ compiler?

Thanks a lot for your quick response and for pointing out the problem.

Following are the versions of GCC/G++ I am using:

=> gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --disable-aix64 --disable-nls
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.1.1
[tsivaram@maroon /]
=> g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --disable-aix64 --disable-nls
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.1.1

Since gcc and g++ are configured/built with --disable-aix64, there are no 64-bit STD libraries available (Ex: libstdc++).

AIX version i am using:
=> uname -a
AIX maroon 2 5 000663FC4C00
[tsivaram@maroon /]
=> oslevel
5.2.0.0
[tsivaram@maroon /]
=> oslevel -r
5200-05

How can I build 64-bit libstdc++, which should work with gcc/g++ 4.1.1?

Do I need to rebuild GCC and G++ without the --disable-aix64 flag? If yes, could you 开发者_高级运维please point to me a link explaining how to build?

Can not we just build libstdc++ library (required)?

You seem to be building a shared library rather than an executable.

As long as the relevant 64-bit libraries are available on the machine, it should not matter whether your G++ is itself a 32-bit or a 64-bit binary - it should be able to generate both 32-bit and 64-bit object files (and shared libraries, and executables, etc).

Be aware that GCC (or G++) uses a different name-mangling scheme from other compilers quite deliberately - because it does various things (such as exception handling, class layouts and the like) differently from other compilers. You cannot reliably link code compiled with the native XLC compilers with code compiled with G++. However, you do not seem to be doing that here.

You should look under /usr/local/lib to see what you can find in the way of 64-bit C++ libraries; you may need to mention the right directory and shared library name on the command line. Alternatively, add the '-v' flag to the command and see what is actually being executed.

You seem to just have missing symbols; you don't have mismatched 32-bit vs 64-bit object files or libraries or whatever. So, you're close - just not quite there yet.

(Is AIX 5.2 still supported? Shouldn't you be planning to move to 5.3 or 6.1?)
