I am having trouble installing the "slice" utility on my NCR Tower 32/600. For some reason, the link to subroutines regcmp and recex are not being established. The following is from the compile/link attempt and from a table of contents listing of the archive file. ---------------------------------------------------------------- # make cc -O -DUSG -lPW -o slice slice.o undefined first referenced symbol in file regcmp slice.o regex slice.o ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to slice *** Error code 13 Stop. ---------------------------------------------------------------- # ar -t /usr/lib/libPW.a abspath.o ... regcmp.o regex.o ... zeropad.o ---------------------------------------------------------------- Why are these subroutines not being found? Any insights will be appreciated.

Wrong order specified on the command line in the makefile. libPW.a (-lPW) ought to be specified _after_ slice.o. On the Tower (and many other Unix machines) libraries and object files are processed in the order found. When libPW.a is searched there are very few undefined symbols, only main() and exit() from crt0.o, but none from slice.o. This should do the trick: cc -o slice slice.o -LPW -- -Mike Wescott mike.wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM
