Almost another satisfied customer.

vZ> I can compile and link C programs without
vZ> any problems, but when I compile
vZ<> and link a C++ program I get an error with the linking.
vZ<> The C++ file name is TEST.CPP.  The command
vZ<> sent to the linker from RHIDE is as follows:
vZ<>   gcc -Lc:/djgpp/lib 0o test.exe test.o -lstdcx
vZ<> The error message I then get when linking is as follows:
vZ<> Error:  c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe:  cannot open -lstdcx:  No such file or
vZ<> directory (ENOENT)
vZ<> I checked the command line arguments passed to ld.exe and couldn't
vZ<> find
vZ<> the -lstdcx option.  I could only find  the option -l DIRECTORY.
vZ<> Now the way I see it is that it tries to open a file named -lstdcx
vZ<> to
vZ<> include in the linking and it doesn't find that file.  Could it be
vZ<> that
vZ<> somewhere in the configuration of RHIDE it passes that argument
vZ<> where it
vZ<> shouldn't?  If so, where and how can I change it.
vZ<> Note:  When I try to link from the command line, I don't have any
vZ<> problems,
vZ<> since I don't pass the -lstdcx option.

It's one of the top three most frequently asked questions
on comp.os.msdos.djgpp, so I added it to my short FAQ
list called "Read Me Third."

RHIDE 1.47 does.

But be careful not to rename your existing copy; that'll
cause problems down the road. Follow the instructions
in "Read Me Third" if you don't want an extra libstdcx.a
lying around.

P.S. Sorry about the spamming in c.o.m.p. I must
have had too much Miller Genuine Draft brand
cold-filtered beer that night.
