Compiling Makefile in Windows runs into "collect2: fatal" error

I am trying to remake the run and infer binaries from this open source repository in GitHub: files here. The Makefile is the one creating the run and infer files.

I am currently on Windows 11, with msys2. I have:

  • make-4.3.3 installed
  • gcc-11.3.0, and also installed.
  • and binutils-2.37-5 installed

Currently, when I run make (when standing in the src directory) with msys2, I get the following error:

$ make
g++ obtm.o ibtm.o main.o -o run
collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:9: run] Error 1

If you check Makefile:L9, that line has the following (copyng lines8-9 below):

run:obtm.o ibtm.o main.o
    $(CC) $^ -o $@

Running the make gives me a 0KB "run.exe" file, and a ld.exe.stackdump file. I am copying the content of the latter below:

I did try to check similar topics (like this collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault] and compiler gives error ld terminated with signal 11 to no avail).

Solution

  • Just in case someone else is in the same debacle--the folders have some *.o files. I just had to delete those, alongside the older run and infer, simply run make while standing in that folder, and it worked!
