Linker warning - Linking two modules of different target triples - xcode

I got this linker warning:
WARNING: Linking two modules of different target triples!
It sounds serious but not really clear to me.
What is the problem and what should I do about it?
Btw, I'm using Xcode 3.2.5 and LLVM Compiler 1.6
Thanks in advance.

The target triple is a string describing the machine, such as i686-apple-darwin9.5.0. Most likely, you are mixing object files that had been built on different OSX releases; this is harmless (except that the resulting binary may require the maximum of these versions).

Usign OS X SDK 10.7 with Xcode 7.3 and CMake

I have a serious issue getting Xcode 7.3 to compile a Project against Mac SDK 10.7 with LLVM (7+) and C++11. The source of the issue seems to be Xcode or the fact that I'm running OS X 10.11. Some colleagues of mine don't have the same issue compiling the same issue with older Xcode Versions (6). Here is the general setup:
The needed Libraries and Headers are linked with CMake. The Include paths of everything got checked multiple times. The created Xcode Project also seems to be ok, we've compared all important settings (C++ dialect, std library , target, defines etc) against systems where the project does compile.
The actual error comes when compiling vecLib source.It seems to be a set of random error messages I would trace back to the lack of c++ std headers.. Here are a few examples:
Explicite specialization of non-template class 'complex'
Redifinition of complex as different kind of symbol
Did anybody run into similar problems when working with newer Xcodes against older SDKs?
EDIT
Here is some more informations. After checking what was behind the redifinition, I found that for some odd reason, the complex definition that was interfering with the forward declaration in the file comes from /usr/include/c++/4.2.1. I think that the header is outdated or at least not compatible with c++11. I checked again what the compiler used and the lib / language (std=c++11 and stdlib=libc++) where correctly set. I have the strange feeling that the source in user/include isn't supposed to be included but I don't know how to fix it.
EDIT 2
I've checked the standard include paths with cpp -v and got the following list:
/usr/local/include
/Applications/XCode/.../XCodeDefault.xtoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/clang/7.3.0/include
/Applications/XCode/.../XCodeDefault.xtoolchain/usr/include
/usr/include
/System/Library/Frameworks
/Library/Frameworks
The definition of complex in the Xcode toolchain (3rd entry) is the correct one, the definition in /usr/include is the one that seems to be used while compiling, leading to the error messages. The definition of complex uses structs.
What is the issue here? Is the issue that Xcode / Clang or what ever decides to go with usr/include instead of the toolchain include? I've checked the project settings and the compiler output and there was no explicit include of this path.
It seems like AppleClang 7+ and libc++ just doesn't support vecLib from OS X SDK 10.7. I had to go back to Xcode 6 to get it to build.

Why does MoarVM complain about "built for archive which is not the architecture being linked" on Mac OS X?

I'm trying to build Moar from the latest on GitHub and the download on MoarVM.org. I keep getting an error about third-party libraries:
ld: warning: ld: warning: ld: warning: ignoring file 3rdparty/libatomic_ops/src/libatomic_ops.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): 3rdparty/libatomic_ops/src/libatomic_ops.aignoring file 3rdparty/tinymt/libtinymt.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): 3rdparty/tinymt/libtinymt.aignoring file 3rdparty/sha1/libsha1.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): 3rdparty/sha1/libsha1.a
This is similar to OSX : File was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (i386) (and many other questions with insufficient answers). I know that something is building these for the wrong architecture already, so please skip providing that answer.
I've cleaned the directories, deleted everything and started over, told Configure.pl that I'm running on Darwin, and the various other things a user should know to do. I downloaded the tarball from MoarVM.org, which should be the 2105.12 tag in the repo. I run into the same issue with rakudobrew.
Let me know what you'd like to know about my system; it's a basic Mac OS X setup.
I've also filed this as MoarVM issue 334, but it looks like the issue queue doesn't get a lot of love.
From my comment in the MoarVM issue.
I think Sinan and I have figured this out (mostly Sinan though).
When I run configure, it recognizes darwin and selects clang as the compiler. AR is set to merely ar, but that first finds the gnu version in my path instead of the one that goes with clang. When we change the search path around to the first ar is Apple's, everything works.
However, trying Configure.pl --toolchain gnu still chose clang instead of gcc. I don't particularly care which one it uses (at least right now) as long as the other tools come from the right set. I know that I can individually set the paths with args to Configure.pl, but I wouldn't expect to have to do that. I bet most people don't even know what ar is or why they'd set one over the other.
I don't have any advice on this. My problem has a solution, but the Configure could be smarter about this. You can close this issue (maybe opening a fresh one for more smartness).

StgCreateDocfile, etc. on MacOS 10.9.5

I'm having trouble linking an Xcode project using the AAF SDK, with Xcode 5.1.1 on MacOS 10.9.5. When I link the main dynamic library, these symbols come up missing:
_StgCreateDocfile
_StgCreateDocfileOnILockBytes
_StgOpenStorage
_StgOpenStorageOnILockBytes
AssertProc
I can't find a definition for them anywhere in the entire source tree for the SDK. The first four appear to be part of Structured Storage on Windows. A Structured Storage library is provided in the SDK and I'm already linking that.
Can anyone tell me of a Mac system library that defines these? Or is there a linker argument that pulls in a library for them? Thanks for any help.
A late answer (!), but in case anyone comes across this... The solution is either:
To use the makefiles with the AAF SDK to generate the AAF dylib,
which works fine. or...
If you use Xcode to build the AAF SDK, ensure the correct
#defines are kept, namely:
_DEBUG OM_DEBUG OM_STACK_TRACE_ON_ASSERT OM_USE_SCHEMASOFT_SS OM_STRUCTURED_STORAGE
Note that DEBUG=1 is absent (it is added by default by Xcode) - if defined, this brings in AssertProc. Define NDEBUG on release builds and omit the debug defines.
The Stg... functions are part of the MS implementation of Structured storage as you stated, but should not be referenced on a Mac, the Schemasoft implementation being used.

Issues compiling libf2c w/ latest mingw-get-inst (3.16.11), gcc

I'm trying to port some very old fortran code to windows. I'd like to use mingw and f2c, which has no problem converting the code to usable C on OS X and Ubuntu. I used f2c.exe as distributed by netlib on a fresh install of mingw, and it translated the code fine. I have a "ported" version of libf2c that seems to still contain some unresolved references -- mostly file i/o routines (do_fio, f_open, s_wsfe, e_wsfe) and, peculiarly, one arithmetic routine (pow_dd). To resolve these issues, I tried to build libf2c from source, but ran into an issue during the make process. The make proceeds to dtime_.c, but then fails due to a dependency on sys/times.h, which is no longer a part of the mingw distro. There appears to be a struct defined in times.h that defines the size of a variable in dtime_.c, specifically t and t0 on lines 53 and 54 (error is "storage size of 't' isn't known"; same for t0).
The makefile was modified to use gcc, and make invoked with no other options passed.
Might anyone know of a workaround for this issue? I feel confident that once I have a properly compiled libf2c, I'll be able to link it with gcc and the code will work like it does on linux and os X.
FOLLOW-UP: I was able to build libf2c.a by commenting out the time related files in the makefile (my code does not contain any time related functions, so don't think it will matter). I copied it to a non-POSIX search directory as show in -print-search-dirs, specifically C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5. That seems to have fixed the issue on the unresolved references, although the need to eliminate the time files does concern me. While my code is now working, the original question stands -- how to handle makefiles that call for sys/times.h in mingw?
Are you sure the MinGW installation went correct? As far as I can tell the sys/times.h header is still there, in the package mingwrt-3.18-mingw32-dev.tar.gz. I'm not familiar with the gui installer, but perhaps you have to tick a box for the mingwrt dev component.

Migrating from Winarm to Yagarto

This question must apply to so few people...
I am busy mrigrating my ARM C project from Winarm GCC 4.1.2 to Yagarto GCC 4.3.3.
I did not expect any differences and both compile my project happily using the same makefile and .ld files.
However while the Winarm version runs the Yagarto version doesn't. The processor is an Atmel AT91SAM7S.
Any ideas on where to look would be most welcome. i am thinking that my assumption that a makefile is a makefile is incorrect or that the .ld file for Winarm is not applicable to Yagarto.
Since they are both GCC toolchains and presumably use the same linker they must surely be compatable.
TIA
Ends.
I agree that the gcc's and the other binaries (ld) should be the same or close enough for you not to notice the differences. but the startup code whether it is your or theirs, and the C library can make a big difference. Enough to make the difference between success and failure when trying to use the same source and linker script. Now if this is 100% your code, no libraries or any other files being used from WinARM or Yagarto then this doesnt make much sense. 3.x.x to 4.x.x yes I had to re-spin my linker scripts, but 4.1.x to 4.3.x I dont remember having problems there.
It could also be a subtle difference in compiler behavior: code generation does change from gcc release to gcc release, and if your code contains pieces which are implementation-dependent for their semantics, it might well bite you in this way. Memory layouts of data might change, for example, and code that accidentally relied on it would break.
Seen that happen a lot of times.
Try it with different optimization options in the compile and see if that makes a difference.
Both WinARM and YAGARTO are based on gcc and should treat ld files equally. Also both are using gnu make utility - make files will be processed the same way. You can compare the two toolchains here and here.
If you are running your project with an OCD, then there is a difference between the implementation of the OpenOCD debugger. Also the commands sent to the debugger to configure it could be different.
If you are producing an hex file, then this could be different as the two toolchains are not using the same version of newlib library.
In order to be on the safe side, make sure that in both cases the correct binutils are first in the path.
If I were you I'd check the compilation/linker flags - specifically the defaults. It is very common for different toolchains to have different default ABIs or FP conventions. It might even be compiling using an instruction set extension that isn't supported by your CPU.
