Linking problems

[g_vaz]

Hello everybody:

I cannot link my code with my created .a libraries. However if I link directly with the .o files that are inside the .a files than it links. Is there any trick when considering user created .a libraries?

Thanks.

There *shouldn't* be a difference between linking against .o and .a.

Can you post the error(s) you got, what version of Intel Fortran you are using, and what Linux distribution you have.

Thanks -

I have Fedora Linux 3, ifort v8.1. First it was very difficult to link with the .a libraries that were in different folders. The options -L -l seem not to work (or I am doing something wrong and different to what what I use to do in Unix and a different compiler) and so I did manually: ifort procal_main.o -o procal ../IoLib/libIo.a If I do that it complains (several times): procal_main.o(.text+0x10a): In function `MAIN__': : undefined reference to `init_procal_' But if I copy all .o to the local folder and do: ifort procal_main.o *.o -o procal it works. Can you maybe give me a hint? Thanks. Guilherme
