I am investigating if it is possible to cross-compile Purebasic C output using a gcc/ld cross compiler (on linux x86_64).
I am using gcc and ld for the target architecture.

First step is extracting/getting the C code:

Code: Select all

pbcompilerc -c ./main.pb

Gives me a purebasic.c file.

Then compiling the code seem to be working (using the gcc for the target architecture):

Code: Select all

PBHOME=~/purebasic
PBINCLUDES="$PBHOME/sdk/c/PureLibraries"
gcc -c -I$PBINCLUDES ./purebasic.c

Gives me a purebasic.o file.

But using ld to link using *.a and *.o files return returns errors (missing symbols).

Which linker is being used for PureBasic on linux. Is it ld? And if yes, which libraries does it link against?

Not right way,

the pb compiler executes many compilation and linker options

See pbcompilerc help:
-ra, --reasm, /REASM: re-assembles the 'purebasic.asm' or 'purebasic.c' file into an executable. This allow to use the '--commented' option, modify the generated output and creates the executable again.
This option is for advanced programmers only.
