What to the "-lg" and "-lld" libraries refer to? I don't think that I have those libraries. Should they be referenced in the Makefile? -- Peter Ham PO Box 3430 (h)(415) 322-4390 MS Computer Science Student Stanford, CA ham@cs.stanford.edu Stanford University 94309 (o)(415) 723-2067

I don't think that I have those libraries.

On some COFF systems, the library ${libdir}/libld.a contains
subroutines for manipulating COFF format files. I believe (CORRECT ME
IF I'M WRONG) that some of those same systems have ``debugable''
versions of the C library that contain extra debugging information;
-lg selects that library in preference to the default C library.
On a DECstation running Ultrix 3.1, the routines normally found in
libld.a have all been put into libc.a; in my experience both those
library references must be omitted there.
