again problems with link

[angman]

Hi, I have an fpc console program that use a static library, I translated the .h  c header in a .pas unit file and added in the uses of my main program.

the .pas header file is i the same directiry of tha main and there are also the .ppu and .o files.  when I try to buid the project I get the link error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldscud

How can happen this?

Thanks,  angman

have you solething like /usr/lib/libdscud.so ?

[angman]

No I have a dscud.o in same directory of the main program.

The dscud.pas is a pascal header file for dscud6.lib, that I translated from the c .h, and is compiled within the same buid project of the main program.

make sure your LD path (or how is it called) is pointing to the current dir also. For security reasons . is normally not included in the library search path.

Try compileing with -sh. This will skip the link step, but will generate ppas.sh and a link.res. In the link.res you can see where libraries are searched etc.

I compiled with -sh option, and this is the context of li.res file:

There is the SEARCH_DIR(./) in searchPath, so wath happen here?

Is very strange, I tried the same in a windows version, and compile and link without any problem.

I found it.  Sorry, was a my error, a wrong name in the external of one only function of the header translation, and only in linux version.

However, I thanks very much all that helped me.

Thanks, angman
