How to tell compiler where my header (.h) file is please?

[aus9]

Hi

in attempting to compile a package I have eglibc_base-dev loaded which is a part of deps for compiletc

nan.h sits under /usr/include/bits/

So to my fumbling brain I tried

export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -L /usr/include/bits/"

but cat *.log | grep error has

Code: [Select]

gcc: fatal error: no input files

according to appsearch (Rich's great database search tool) I get hits for nan.h as
nan.h
   eglibc_base-dev.tcz
   plt.tcz
   toolchain64.tcz

but I am not building 64 bit, can't see how plt applies so the top one is my target TCZ

Code: [Select]

sudo find / -name nan.h
/tmp/tcloop/eglibc_base-dev/usr/include/bits/nan.h
/usr/include/bits/nan.h
any clues?

clearly I don't know a lot about compiling but you guys are the best, so hopefully will give me an answer

if not thanks for reading

Hi aus9
I think the syntax is:

Code: [Select]

-I/usr/include/bits/and would be added to  CFLAGS  and/or  CXXFLAGS. However, if you look inside the nan.h file you'll find:

Code: [Select]

#ifndef _MATH_H
# error "Never use <bits/nan.h> directly; include <math.h> instead."
#endifso this may not be a good idea and suggests the problem may lie elsewhere.

thanks for your all your help, and I would not have guessed I needed to look inside a header.

I test this later but

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i eglibc_base-dev.tcz
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/eglibc_base-dev.tcz: OK
sudo find /usr -name math.h
/usr/include/math.h
will test

# depends
export CFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -I/usr/include/"
export CXXFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -I/usr/include/"
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"

Hopefully if it sees math.h then it sees the sub-folder bits and then nan.h?

EDIT (1)
nope same error but I look at configure stage output and see

Disabling code coverage for GCC

./configure --help offers
--with-coverage         build for code coverage with GCC (off)

is that an issue?

I enabled and still nan.h error

EDIT 2
maybe I should expose my current (untested) build?  as its only a 5M download
