Hi

I believe this was mentioned before...

I installed alpha 4/20 (without making a backup, tch..) on djgpp v2 I can compile and get .o files, but the linking stage doesn't find djgpp.lnk (I assume gpc does "ld @djgpp.lnk") at some stage.

I don't mind typing this myself, but I haven't got a sample .lnk file to work with (silly me ;).

I too think we have seen this error before. Maybe it's FAQ-able.

djgpp v2.0 uses the linker script 'djgpp.lnk' (in the djgpp 'lib' dir). djgpp v2.01 uses 'djgpp.djl' for this purpose.

So, either Peter (who built this GPC binary) is using djgpp v2.0 and you have v2.01, or vice versa.

I haven't seen this error with djgpp v2.01, but I always build my own compiler binaries.

BTW: 'djgpp.djl' and 'djgpp.lnk' are different files so renaming isn't going to work.

To Peter: since this GPC is searching for this obsolete 'djgpp.lnk', I assume you are indeed using v2.0. In that case you'd better upgrade to 2.01 to stop this confusion.

Hope this helps, JanJaap
