Error wile compiling.

Anand_30 — Fri, 12 Sep 2003 15:18:53 GMT

I am trying to compile some Objective C programs in HPUX-10.20. The compiler is gcc. I am getting the following error while compilation:

/usr/local/bin/ld: Can't find library for -llibdb-3.2.sl

I don't have any idea about this error. Can anyone please help me out on this.

Thanks in advance.

I think if not a standard lib you will have to specify the path to library
e.g.

-L -llibdb-3.2.sl

in your makefile

further more, I think this should be
-L -ldb-3.2
as prefix lib and suffix sl are implicit.

Please let us know how you're getting on.

Anand,
You link libraries normally taking out the lib prefix. In your case check

1. The library is available.
2. The path is there after -L
3. Change -llibdb-3.2sl to -ldb-3.2sl.

I have changed the makefile but still I am getting the error:

/usr/local/bin/ld: Can't find library for -libdb-3.2.sl

Is there any way that I can see where the libraries are being searched during the make.

Anand,
Double check for the library. Add that path after -L.

I am not getting the previous error any more but I am getting the following error now:

/usr/local/bin/ld: Invalid fixup: 0x3e in file /opt/Apple/Library/Frameworks/EOs

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem.

Anand.

note that this is while linking error, not while compiling.

if you are building a shared library, make sure you compile with the correct compiler option - its either +z or +Z for cc/aCC, either -fpic or -fPIC for gcc. in your case -fpic should work.
