Trouble linking BREW objects under WinARM4.1x

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to use WinARM 4.1.1 to compile and link object files for a BREW project. I got started using this page: http://brew.wardco.com/.

First thing to note is that I have this successfully working under the GNUDE tool chain. When I switched over to WinARM, I initially got it to work till I noticed that I had -Lc:/gnude/arm-elf/lib instead of -Lc:/WinARM/arm-elf/lib in my linker library path. I obviously don't want to have both systems in place in my environment. Using the WinARM library path causes me to get the following linker errors:

Stop.

I am not sure how to approach solving this; it appears that I am simply missing a path somewhere, but which path? I notice there are "c:\winarms\gcc-4.1.1..." 'paths' listed... this not a location on my computer. Is it a library reference?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Have you tried c:\WinARM\lib\gcc\arm-elf\4.1.1 ? Your lib path could also depend on what kind of instruction set you are using. I use something like c:\blahblah\WinARM\lib\gcc\arm-elf\4.1.1\thumb because I build most of my sources into the thumb instruction set.
