Subject: helps needs on GCC options

Hi,

I am using GNU gcc 2.9 on AIX 5.1 and tring to have my C code compiled. The
C source file will be compiled with third party software libraries made with
GNU 2.9 under AIX 5.1.

I first try to link the program with a static libary "libFPLibrary32.a".
Here is the command and options:
gcc -o test_store test_store.c -I$I_DIR -L$L_DIR -lFPLibrary32 -DPOSIX

$I_DIR and $L_DIR have been defined as the include dir and library dir.

I get errors this way which is saying that $L_DIR/libFPLibrary32.a is not a
COFF file.

I then tried to use the dynamic link library with the command and options:
gcc -o test_store test_store.c -I$I_DIR -L$L_DIR -lFPLibrary.so -Wl,-brtl
-DPOSIX

I get errors again saying that libFPLibrary.so not found. However, the
library is under $L_DIR.

Please help. Thanks.

If you're not reporting a bug, you're more likely to get help on gcc-help, or on an AIX-specific list.  If you are reporting a bug, please look up the specific guidelines.

When you say L_DIR is defined, if it's an environment variable pointing to a real directory, your syntax is wrong.  However, I won't venture to make guesses which would depend on what shell you are running, nor what AIX-specific issues you're confused about.
