cannot find -lncrt_balanced: No such file or directory¶

Problem Description¶

When building a project in Nuclei Studio, the following error messages are reported:

G:/NucleiStudio/toolchain/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-unknown-elf/13.1.1/../../../../riscv64-unknown-elf/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lncrt_balanced: No such file or directory
G:/NucleiStudio/toolchain/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-unknown-elf/13.1.1/../../../../riscv64-unknown-elf/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lheapops_basic: No such file or directory
G:/NucleiStudio/toolchain/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-unknown-elf/13.1.1/../../../../riscv64-unknown-elf/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lfileops_uart: No such file or directory
G:/NucleiStudio/toolchain/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-unknown-elf/13.1.1/../../../../riscv64-unknown-elf/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lncrt_balanced: No such file or directory

This happens because when creating the project, we created a 64-bit project, and in the Standard C Library settings, extensions with -lncrt_balanced and -lfileops_uart were selected. However, these extensions do not support 64-bit, which causes the build to fail.

Solution¶

-lncrt_balanced and -lfileops_uart do not support 64-bit processors. When creating a project for such processors, avoid using the libncrt library.
