undefined reference to `__strtof128_nan@GLIBC_PRIVATE'

I am trying to cross-compiling a packing to debian-8 (jessie), which comes with glibc-2.19. While cross-compiling the package it throwed the following error.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/CMakeTestCXXCompiler.cmake:45 (message):
  The C++ compiler

    "/opt/jessiesdk-cxx/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++"

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

Failed   <<< ament_index_cpp    [ Exited with code 1 ]

After a bit of googling i found ABI Laboratory. Does this mean i require a glibc at least 2.26 in order to compile the package ?

Is there a way around this ?

Thanks..

Solution

  • Something is wrong with the way the cross-compiler has been set up. It looks like your sysroot contains a copy of a newer libm along with the older libc for Debian jessie.

    __strtof128_nan@GLIBC_PRIVATE is an internal reference in the libm library of glibc, used to call into the libc library. These internal references only work properly if libm and libc were part of the same glibc build.
