Unable to find headers when I compile

Humm... The headers are fine, but the function declarations are missing.
That must be caused by the last step when you tar -xvzf include.tgz into the compiler directory.
Compilation passes for me when I use g++ built by crosstool-NG without all the additional steps like 'adding SDK libs' and 'adding header files'.
What if you skip the last step and also skip copying libc.a?

I'm trying to compile a c++ application for the ESP8266. I've set up g++ through 'git clone -b lx106-g++' as explained above.

It's mostly working, except for the fact that constructors of global objects are not being called. For example:

Code: Select allclass TestClass
{
public:
   TestClass()
      : m_a(5) {}
   int m_a;
};

TestClass tc;

extern "C" void user_init(void)
{
 // if I print tc.m_a here, it will show 0 instead of 5.
}


These are my compiler and linker options:

If I omit -nostdlib and use -nodefaultlibs, the linker complains about crt1-sim.o and _vectors.o missing.

Can anyone help me out? BTW I don't need the C++ standard libraries, I just need to be able to work with my own C++ classes.

Thanks!

It looks like there are sources for both crt1-sim.o and _vectors.o

However, even if you don't care about C++ standard libraries, it looks like you are missing some pre-main code to initialize the global objects.

Right, these constructors are normally called from crtbegin.o/crtend.o, but looks like we should be able to call them ourselves from the user_main.

If I omit -nostdlib and use -nodefaultlibs, the linker complains about crt1-sim.o and _vectors.o missing.

Right, these defaults are hard-coded in the gcc. We don't need them, because we're not building for sim and exception vector handlers are in the ROM.

Let me look a bit more at our startup sequence...
