Aws Lambda: C++ custom runtime - /usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a

[ashu0992sharma]

I am trying to add g++ inside AWS Lambda C++ custom runtime.

Now g++ requires .so (shared libraries) files as well as .a (static libraries).

For this, I installed g++ inside chroot directory (directory gpp) on the Amazon Linux machine.

Now, I created another directory that has bin, usr, lib, and lib64 directories (taken from chroot directory). I created a zip of this directory, uploaded to s3 (as it is more than 50MB), and created a Lambda layer using this zip directory.

Now, after adding this layer in the lambda function, I am trying to run.

execl("/opt/usr/bin/g++48", "/opt/usr/bin/g++48", "-Wall",  "/tmp/hello.cpp","-o", "/tmp/hello.o",
 "-I/opt/gpp3/usr/include/", (char *) 0)

Using the above g++ is able to find shared libraries as well as header files but it is not able to find the static library.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

libc_nonshared.a exists inside /opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/ but it is searching in /usr/lib64/.

I tried providing full path in g++ command as -L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a and -L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared and -L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/

But none of them works. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Are you trying to set up a lambda function that can build C++ code?

It seems like with g++ -L/opt/gpp3/usr/lib64 -lc_nonshared it should find /opt/gpp3/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.a, because it's -L<dir> -l<namespec> to find lib<namespec>.a in <dir>.
