ld: assumes incorrect path

GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.23.2

AmigaOS4.1FE update 1

I have a project where, on linking, i get an error about a missing libc.so:

Development:Coding/SDK/gcc/ppc-amigaos/bin/ld: warning: libc.so, needed by /SDK/local/newlib/lib/libSDL2.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

Snoopy shows that ld is in fact looking in the wrong path (or so i believe) for libc.so:

16440 : ld : o.k. = GetFilePosition(0x13D86B42) = 1024 [2uS]
16441 : ld : FAIL = Open("SDK:newlib/lib/libc.so",OLD) = [0x00000000] [35uS]
16442 : ld : o.k. = Open("SDK:newlib/lib/libc.a",OLD) = [0x13D86B78] [37uS]
16443 : ld : o.k. = ExamineObject(0x42F3C618) [15uS]

libs.so though, together with all the other libs, reside in SDK:local/newlib/lib (as installed per the SDK installer)

For some reason it also refuses to look into the other subdirs to search for the file (like it does with libSDL2 libs), instead it picks up the static lib and links with that, leading to a crashing exe obviously.

A workaround would be to softlink a libc.so into that directory, but maybe ld needs to be fixed to also look in the local dir.

But unless I'm mistaken
SDK:newlib/lib/libc.so

Is the correct location for libc.so

Did you modify your SDK?

There is normally a copy or link to the version in SOBJS: depending on how the SDK was setup / installed.

No, i don't tinker with the SDK.

The most of what i do when i change something is set a new (soft)link to another place when some obscure port looks for it in a different place.

Then i'll copy that file back to where it belongs, maybe that link got removed somehow.

Thank you

I think that can be closed. If the problem still persists, please file a new issue.
