Recovery. Remove the offending option.
Cause. You specified the -alf option, telling the name of the program or DLL that
you want to update. Various other options are allowed with the -alf option, and
some of these other options also have filenames as parameters. But, in addition to all
these filenames, you also had two other filenames on the command line by
themselves, not as parameters of options. It is possible to have one such filename, to
tell the name of the zimpimp file that represents the DLLs that constitute system library.
However, it is never legal to have more than one such filename.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Perhaps you need to review the section of the manual that describes the -
alf option. The only filenames that should be on the command line are as described
above.
Cause. You used the -no_preset or -must_preset option, which affect the eld
program’s behavior when it is creating a program or DLL, and you also used the -r
option, to tell eld to build another object file that could be used as eld input, rather
than a program or DLL. That’s inconsistent.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, don’t use the -r option. If
your intention is to create another object file that can be used as eld input, rather than
a program or DLL, then don’t use the -no_preset or -must_present option.
Cause. The -no_preset option tells eld not to mark the file “preset”, because you
know that you don’t have the right linker inputs to fix up references correctly. The -
must_preset option tells eld that you believe you do have the right linker inputs to fix
up references correctly, and it should be an error if eld can not do that. These are
contradictory.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Based on what these two options do, decide which one you want to give, or
neither.
1524 You can put one filename on the command line with the
-alf option, to be the zimpimp file, but more than one
filename is an error.
1526 Can't specify the -no_preset or -must_preset option with
the -r option.
1527 Can't specify the -must_preset option with the -
no_preset option.
