Error Messages
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, decide which filename you want to
specify, and only specify that one.
Cause. You gave the -check_registry option more than once on the command line,
with different names given for the parameter, to tell the name of the private DLL
registry file. You can give the option more than once, but the filename that you specify
must be the same each time.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, decide which filename you want to
specify, and only specify that one.
Cause. The private DLL registry that was specified for this link in the -check_registry
or -update_registry option contained more than one -dllarea command. That is not
allowed. Presumably, the format of the file is bad because it was incorrectly edited by
hand.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Fix the format of the file, as explained elsewhere in this manual.
Cause. You did not give an option such as -dll, -shared, or -ul, which would tell
eld that you want to make a DLL, but you specified the -make_implicit_lib option,
which tells eld more specifically what kind of DLL to make, namely, one of the implicit
DLLs that constitute system library.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is not to build one of the implicit DLLs that constitute
system library, then don’t specify the -make_implicit_lib option. If you are trying to do
that, then this indicates some problem with the procedure for building and installing the
NSK operating system, which is beyond the scope of this document.
1377 Multiple specifications of the -check_registry option
with different values.
1380 DLL registry line <number>: two -dllarea commands in the
registry file.
1381 The -make_implicit_lib option is only allowed when
creating a new DLL.
1382 The <option name> option is not allowed with the
-make_import_lib option.
