[TriLUG] compat-egcs on Red Hat 7.1

[Tom Bryan]

Okay.  I'm a bit confused.  I'm not sure what part I'm missing, but I must 
not be doing *something* right.

I want to use the compat-egcs* to compile some code.  I have the following 
RPMs installed (not sure if I need others)

$ rpm -qa | grep -i compat
compat-libs-6.2-3
nss_db-compat-2.2-3
compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.14
compat-egcs-g77-6.2-1.1.2.14
kde1-compat-1.1.2-8
compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.14
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14
kde1-compat-devel-1.1.2-8
compat-egcs-objc-6.2-1.1.2.14

First, I ran
$ g++ -o modules/test/hello_world modules/test/hello_world.cxx
And the program works as expected.  

Then, to switch over to using the compat-* stuff, I ran 
$ . /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh

followed by 

$ g++ -o modules/test/hello_world modules/test/hello_world.cxx
/tmp/ccyBRP4n.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccyBRP4n.o(.text+0x9): undefined reference to `printf(char const *,...)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Suddenly, printf has is unavailable to the linker!  I'm not sure what's going 
on here, and I'm finding little documentation about how I'm supposed to use 
this stuff.  Does anyone have any suggestions/pointers?

* I've got Oracle 8.1.7 installed on this box, and it required the 
compat-egcs to build some of its stuff.  Since I'll be linking against the 
Oracle libraries, I am assuming that I should also be compiling with the 
compat-egcs packages.  


Thanks,
