[Solved] Help! Compiler can't find standard library?

Operating Systems & Open Source Linux

Hey guys, I'm having trouble compiling getting a compiler for an embedded linux-platform to work.

I'm running:
Ubuntu Gnome 14.10, installed it about two days ago.

It works whenever I use the regular compiler by invoking it directly: 

$ gcc -o hello helloworld.c

… and I get an executable file which works. But when I try with the one for my linux-platform, I get this:

$ arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -o hello helloworld.c 
helloworld.c:1:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

The code I'm trying to compile obviously isn't the problem, but anyway I'll include it here:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
	printf("Hello World!\n");
}

For the sake of detail, I also ran it with the verbose flag so that maybe someone can tell me how to fix it:

$ arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -v -o hello helloworld.c 
Using built-in specs.

It looks like you're trying to cross-compile for a different platform, correct? (x86 -> ARM)

Your cross-compiler is setup with special parameters / arguments. (see the "Configured with" part)

Check if there actually is a stdio.h in the "includedir" (see the log --includedir and --oldincludedir)
Probably not (see the error messages)

   ignoring nonexistent directory "/home/norgaard/stud/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_2010_x-eglibc/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/../../lib/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gcc/../../../lib/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.5.4/../../../../../arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/include" <--- here should be stdio.h

You're right, I can't find the stdio.h in that directory.
I have almost everything else:

How would I go about adding the missing files?

Well, where did you get that compiler in the first place? Usually it should ship with a standard library

Just solved it. The compiler was looking for the files in my /home folder instead for home/norgaard, so i just moved the folder with the compiler and everything into /home.

Thanks for the help, wouldn't have discovered this without it!
