[comp.os.vms] RTLs -- fixed, I think

AWalker@RED.RUTGERS.EDU (*Hobbit*) (08/05/87)

Well, in my infinite assume-ing-ness I flamed about lib$put_output while
actually trying to link something that calls lib$find_image_symbol.
This latter call is *not* defined in starlet [why?? Because it only
applies to using shared libraries, I guess?], which is why link was losing
with /nosysshr.  Y'awl *did* get it after all, and I didn't until now
because I was calling something not in starlet.

The next question: what's in imagelib that ain't in starlet??  lib/list
gives me a short list of nnnRTL instead of the actual function names.

Interestingly enough, link/nosysshr seems to imply /selective_search for
starlet, because the resulting image isn't overly large [i.e. no difference
between letting /nosysshr do its stuff and including starlet/lib/sel as well].
It would be nice if the linker book explained all of this in the simple
terms that everyone who answered did [thanks guys, you can stop now, I've
received about 30 of them].
