(It needs those letters for itself. ;-)<BR /><BR />Note: -b above must be passed to driver for special handling. Did you mean -Wl,+b...?<BR /><BR />Or did you want to know why ld requires +h and +b? Just look at ld(1). +h sets the internal shlib name. +b sets the shlib lookup path.</P> Sun, 16 Oct 2011 10:07:15 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/wl-optiion/m-p/3949233#M97707 Dennis Handly 2011-10-16T10:07:15Z
