Error Messages
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, only specify one filename.
Cause. You gave the -temp_o option more than once on the command line. This
option tells the name of a file to use as a temporary file while creating the output file.
You can give this option more than once, but only if you specify the same filename.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, only specify one filename
Cause. You have specified the -make_implicit_lib option, which means that you are
building one of the DLLs that constitute system library. These DLLs are not allowed to
contain writeable data. In other words, the -instance_data data1constant
option is imposed, to say that the file cannot contain any writeable data. You can
specify the -instance_data option if you wish, but only if you specify data1constant
as the parameter, and you specified something else.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Assuming you really do want to specify the -make_implicit_lib option, do
not specify the -instance_data option with a parameter value other than
data1constant.
Cause. You are trying to create an object file. eld first creates it in a temporary
location, deletes any file that previously existed with the name specified for the object
file, and then renames the temporary file to the final location. That process failed. In
such a situation, eld would usually leave the file in another location and tell you about
it. However, you also specified the -must_use_oname option, to say that it should be
considered an error if the file could not be created in the named location. So, that is
what happened.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If there already was a file with the same name as the file you wanted to
create, and you didn’t have permission to delete it, either find some other way to delete
that old file, or specify a different filename for the object file that you want to create. If
there was no file of that name already, and you are not able to rename a file to another
name in the same location (Guardian subvolume, OSS directory, or PC folder), that is
an operating system question that is beyond the scope of this document..
1370 Multiple specifications of the -temp_o option with
different filenames.
1371 With -make_implicit_lib, -instance_data must be
data1constant.
1372 Cannot create -o file <filename>.
