Error Messages
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, then don’t specify the -r
option. If your intention is to use the -r option to create another object file that can be
used as eld input, then don’t specify the -set cppdialect option.
Cause. You used the -must_use_iname option, which tells eld that it should be an
error if it cannot create an import library with the name specified for it, but you did not
specify any option to tell eld to build an import library.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to create an import library, specify an appropriate option
to do that. If that is not your intention, don’t specify the -must_use_iname option.
Cause. You used the -temp_i option, to tell the name that eld should use for an
intermediate file during the process of creating an import library, but you did not specify
any option to tell eld to build an import library.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to create an import library, specify an appropriate option
to do that. If that is not your intention, don’t specify the -temp_i option.
Cause. You used the -libname or
-set libname option, to tell eld the name of the
user library to place within the program that you are creating, but you have also used
some other option to tell eld to build another object file that can be used as linker
input, or a DLL, but not a program.
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program, which happens by default, don’t
specify an option such as
-r, -dll, or -ul that would tell eld to do something else. If
you are not creating a program, don’t specify the -libname or -set libname option.
1181 The -must_use_iname option is only allowed when you are
making an import library.
1182 The -temp_i option is only allowed when you are making
an import library.
1183 You can only specify a user library name for a program.
1184 The 'highpin' attribute is not allowed with the -r
option.
