------- Additional Comments From funtoos at yahoo dot com 2008-07-23 20:38 ------- OK, I thought it would be that easy and messed up confusing -rpath-link with -L.
But I sidetracked from the original bug, which is about a prefix install and -T fixing it. Assuming, you have installed binutils with --prefix=$PREFIX, do this: cd /tmp/mydir gcc -shared -o libmylib.so mysymbol.o mv libmylib.so $PREFIX/usr/lib/libmylib.so cp /usr/lib/libcwait.so /usr/lib/libmylib.so gcc -o mymain mymain.o -L$PREFIX/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -lmylib It won't honor the -L$PREFIX/usr/lib but pick libmylib.so up from /usr/lib. But when you get the command line for ld using gcc -c followed by collect2 -v, and use -T option to specify the linker script, it will work. Linker script used in both cases (internal or external with -T) is same as can be seen from --verbose output. In my case, it was: /scratch/devsk/usr/bin/ld -v -T /scratch/devsk/usr/lib/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.18.50.0.7/ldscripts/elf_i386.xc --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o mymain /usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o /scratch/devsk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/crtbegin.o -L/scratch/devsk/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/scratch/devsk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4 -L/scratch/devsk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/scratch/devsk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../.. mymain.o -lmylib -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed -lc -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed /scratch/devsk/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/crtend.o /usr/lib/crtn.o -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|WAITING |NEW http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6753 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
