Hi all,

as you can see there is no option for end group or "-)" in my build but the linker says such error.

Can you please help me if im missing something.

 


Regards,

    Hi,

    I'm not sure, but the mistake provide from this sequence :
    gcc -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mthumb -Wall -gstrict -dwarf -gdwarf -3 -g -mfpu=fpv4 -sp -d16 -mfloat -abi=softfp -O0 -lm -ldl genmakefiles.o

    i mean -g strict sequence or -l dl may the source of this error

    Try to reinstall the lastest ld-dev library before recompile

    Hi Jerome,
    Reordered options as per your suggestion but still the error.

    Hi ShyamThella

    There is a Community on launchpad dedicated to the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain, you might find an answer to your question there if you are having persistant issues.

    In the meantime I'll see if someone can help here.

    Hi,

    Try passing -v to the GCC command line. This will show the collect2 command line. Adding -v to the collect2 command line will then give you the ld command line which I'm guessing will contain that closing parenthesis.

    Best regards.
