Hi Peter, : When linking against a shared library that references another : shared library, if the implicitly referenced library cannot : be located, ld will report an error like: : /usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: libfoo.so, needed by ./libbar.so, not found (try using --rpath) : : There is no option `--rpath' documented in either ld.1 or ld.texinfo : and the message should refer to `-rpath' and/or `-rpath-link'. : : (Note that ld parses `--rpath' the same as `-rpath', along with : other long options. I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature). It is a feature. : Index: elf32.em : =================================================================== : RCS file: /home/CVSROOT/src/contrib/binutils/ld/emultempl/elf32.em,v : retrieving revision 1.3 : diff -u -r1.3 elf32.em : --- elf32.em 2000/05/13 17:51:22 1.3 : +++ elf32.em 2000/08/03 20:52:35 : @@ -451,7 +451,7 @@ : if (force < 2) : continue; : : - einfo ("%P: warning: %s, needed by %B, not found (try using --rpath)\n", : + einfo ("%P: warning: %s, needed by %B, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)\n", : l->name, l->by); : } : } Approved and applied.
