Error compiling against libopcodes

Question

I'm following some code from here which is as follows:

The OP says that you can link with -lbfd -lopcodes.

However, for OpenSuSE I've found that for libbfd I need -lbfd -liberty -lz -ldl

When trying to compile, here is my results:

make

gcc ./main.c -lbfd -liberty -lz -ldl -lopcodes -g -o bfd_se

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../lib64/libopcodes.a(arm-dis.o): In function `print_insn_neon':

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'bfd_se' failed
make: *** [bfd_se] Error 1

What other flags do I need to add to have this program compile? I see the error is related to different architectures, but I'm not trying to cross compile.

Thanks!

Most of the time libbfd and libopcodes does not come as shared libraries in standard distributions (because they are not meant to be linked to). You must either link to the static libraries (libbfd.a and libopcodes.a) or recompile your distribution package and include the shared libraries in it (.so files).

So, to make it clear, try:

gcc ./main.c -liberty -lz -ldl -g -o bfd_se /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../lib64/libopcodes.a /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../lib64/libbfd.a
