Missing library symbol table

Wayne Johnson_3 — Thu, 15 Sep 2005 09:35:03 GMT

I've just switched from the gcc compiler to the ansic C compiler. I am getting the error:

ld: Missing library symbol table in ../lib_native64/archive/libmqsutil.a
Fatal error.

From what I can see with nm, the archive is valid. All the compiles work fine. I'm creating both +DAportable and +DD64 versions of each module, keeping them seperate in different object directories and archives of course. The +DAportable archive works fine but the 64 bit fails.

Any ideas what would cause this?

there is a problem with archive libraries built with the GNU ar, rather than the hpux ar (/usr/ccs/bin/ar). perhaps you could rebuild that archive library and try lining again.

Have you run strip on that library.

I was using the gcc ar command. Thanks for the answer.
