ld Problem

Miscellaneous Forums/MacOS X Discussion/ld Problem

I'm getting this error when linking any BlitzMax program:

ld: can't use -s with input files containing indirect symbols (output file must contain at least global symbols, for maximum stripping use -x)

Do I need a newer version of something or other or what?

I'm, quite frankly, confused, as I'm new to Mac stuff.

the only (useful looking) reference I can find to that error is here: http://www.mail-archive.com/qmail@...

Yeah, it's not so much a problem with ld itself but rather with versions I think. I get the impression that either a. I need a more recent version of the developer tools (as I'm running Jaguar 10.2.8), and in such a case I will suffer large (that's supposed to be a joke, but unfortunately I can't fit it all in here without making no sense whatsoever).

hmmm... did you download xcode or just install from the CD? maybe it's gcc related?

As far as I can see, Xcode isn't going to work on my Mac, because the developer section of Apple's website says it requires 10.3.

That's not what this thread suggests:

I have the July 2002 tools, so I guess now I have to spend a lot of time downloading 302mb of software on 56k.

Goody.

Thanks, skid.

I have xcode_1.2_7k246_cd.dmg on my hdd, if I could find a way to extract the necessary files, I could send them to you.

No, I have to get the December 2002 Mac OS X Developer Tools. The July 2002 ones are (obviously) insufficient, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this other than fire up wget.

You can order the developer tools on CD. Much faster than downloading I think :).

From what I can see of Apple's developer site, you have to hand over $99 for an ADC membership before you can order a CD with developer tools on it.

The basic ADC membership is free. The last time I checked it was 10$ for the developer tools CD (or was that the student version?). Anyway, by now you have already downloaded the developer tools I guess.

Nope, I'm waiting for our cable to get set up, since it's now in our area (and already up to our house, so we just have to get a modem and the wireless AP and cards for everyone but me because I'm the only person in this house that actually got a head start on this...).
