Error Messages
program. Or, if you don’t intend to create a program, then don’t specify the -nostdfiles
option.
Cause. You specified the -dll, -shared, or -ul option, together with the -b
globalized or -b semiglobalized option, to build a globalized or semiglobalized DLL, and
you also specified the -make_implicit_lib option, to tell eld to make one of the implicit
DLLs that constitute system library. That’s not allowed, because the implicit DLLs are
never created as globlaized or semiglobalized DLLs.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you are not building one of the implicit DLLs that constitute system
library, then don’t specify the -make_implicit_lib option. If you are, then don’t specify
the -b globalized or -b semiglobalized option.
Cause. You specified the -shared, -dll, or -ul option, which are all ways of telling
eld to create a DLL. And you also specified the -r option, which tells eld to create
another object file that can be used as linker input, not a DLL.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to build a DLL, then don’t specify the -r option. If your
intention is to use the -r option to build.anoter object file that can be used as input to
eld, then don’t specify the -dll, -shared, or -ul option.
Cause. You gave the -change interpose_user_library option, to tell eld that
the DLL you are updating is to be marked as an interpose user library, but the filename
specified with the -change option is not a DLL.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to update a file that is not a DLL then don’t specify the -
set interpose_user_library option. If you intention is to update a DLL then you must
specify the name of a DLL.
1202 The -make_implicit_lib option is only allowed when you
are creating a localized DLL.
1206 The -shared or -ul option is not allowed with the -r
option.
1208 The 'interpose_user_library' attribute is only allowed
for DLLs.
1210 <filename>: unresolved reference to <symbol name>.
