[Bug ld/6753] -L order is not respected when searching for -l, but -T fixes it
--- Additional Comments From funtoos at yahoo dot com 2008-07-20 23:57 --- the command line is generated by libtool and I just passed '-v -v ' to g++ to get to the eventual ld command line. I tried adding -L= for fun but the result was same without -L=. All libs specified with -l were found in /usr/lib instead of /home/devsk/portage/usr/lib. -- 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
linker problem ? help needed !!!
Dear all , first of all thanks a lot for providing such a wonderful tools 'gcc' and 'ld'. i am trying to link some object files but i am getting error "System cant execute this program" i cant understand the reason because there is no appropriate descriptive error message. Pls suggest me . also tell me how to enable warnings etc. with the linker. thanks, navi ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
-L order is not respected when searching for -l, but -T fixes it
Hi, I filed bug http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6753 but I think I might be doing something wrong. Can someone please tell me why ld finds the right library when given an explicit -T argument and not if -T is not given but the internal script is same as the one provided with -T?
