Description Amihai 2001-11-12 00:53:13 AEDT

While doing make, at the linking stage of making "ssh" execfile I got the errors
below. (I use gcc version 2.95.2).

ld: fatal: file ./libssh.a: unknown file type
ld: fatal: library -lssh: not found
ld: fatal: file openbsd-compat//libopenbsd-compat.a: unknown file type
ld: fatal: library -lopenbsd-compat: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to ssh
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ssh] Error 1

Thanks,
Amihai

What OS version? How was libssh.a built earlier in the build?

Comment 3 Amihai 2001-11-12 18:24:37 AEDT

The OS is Solaris 8 on a Sun-sparc computer.
libssh.a was built by the "make" process of openssh-3.0p1.
Please note that doing "ar t libssh.a" gives a proper list of objects.

if ld -L. -lssh fails you need to figure out what is wrong
with libssh.a or ld.
