Hi,
I have a question for the gcc experts in this forum.
I am in a situation where I must compile a program using
some static libraries provided as .a files. My problem
is that these libraries are in a.out format while my
compiler is ELF(gcc-2.7). Consequently, the linker
refuses to use those libraries and I get a lot of undefined
references. I have read the gcc how-to but I couldn't find
a reference to my problem.
My questions are:
1)Is there a way to force the linker to use a.out libs? (Hopeful thinking!)
2) Should I drop back to an old version of gcc or binutils?
If so, which version, where do I get it?
Obviously, the source code for the libraries are not available to me.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Levy
