1205.0. "Linker commands and -u" by RHETT::HALETKY () Thu Feb 27 1997 15:34

    Hello,
    
    I am using Fortran DFA410 to compile a program and F77 does not appear
    to be passing linker flags properly.
    
    
    f77 -Wl,-u\ rich_  -v main.o lib1.a level.o lib2.a -o fromlib1
    
    passes -u rich_ to the linker yet the linker gives:
    -u rich_: Unknown flag
    
    
    Yes using 
    /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld -o goodlib1 -u rich_  ...
    
    The eact output with the -v above produces correct results.
    
    
    Any comments?
    
    
    best regards,
    Ed Haletky

1205.1	you want: -Wf,-u,rich_	WIDTH::MDAVIS	Mark Davis - compiler maniac	`Thu Feb 27 1997 16:45`	5
	the driver will then "put a space" between "-u" and "rich_". (Actually, the driver passes 2 separate args.) When you use the quoted space "\ ", the driver passes a single argument '-u rich_' to the linker (not 2 arguments). The linker doesn't understand '-u rich_' as a single arg.....

	If you have to pass it using the -Wl mechanism, then the correct syntax would presumably be f77 -Wl,-u,rich_ ... This tells the driver to pass -u and rich_ as two separate argument words. -Neil
