gcc 4 linker error

[iwanj]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace GCCE 3.4.3 with GCCE 4.3.2 on S60 3rd FP1_2 SDK to enable epocallowdlldata support. I've followed the instructions on this wiki but experiencing this problem during linking

Anyone's seen this?

solved now. it was caused by corrupted ld.exe.

[krzysztof.kucharewicz]

I've encountered the same error,
It's hard to say what exactly was the cause, because after some restarts of my PC I managed to compile the code once more, and then it didn't work again.
It didn't work with any of the SDK I have (3rd_MR, FP1, FP2, 5th...)
nor different Carbide.C++ versions (2.6, 2.7)
It failed with different projects.

As I concluded it would be either the problem with corrupted executable or library in the toolchain, I did two things:
Uninstalled Perl and installed it again (5.6.1, preferably on c: drive),
Checked my Path variable and removed obsolete paths (also Cygwin which I don't use anymore, but it had some similar tools).

I also tried to update the GCC compiler, but that didn't help much, and brought lots of new compilation errors, so I'd discourage that.

For now it works properly...

Hi,
For the past few days even I have also started getting same error all of a sudden. After reboot I can compile properly only 2-3 times, but after that due to above issue my build fails and need to reboot again.
To address this,
a. I deleted / uninstalled all apps which has ld.exe including that of CSL Tool chain, Carbide, MINGW (I had in my PC), etc
b. Uninstalled ActivePerl, Carbide and all Symbian SDKs
c. again reinstalled Activeperl, Carbide and S60 3rd Ed.
But after done with all these and after couple of trials again I am getting the same issue. Iwanj, can you please let me know if this is the issue with ld.exe, how to replace / rectify it. Any hint will be appreciated alot.

Has anyone found a solution to this???? This is really impacting my development and I tried the things already mentioned but they didn't work.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit. Don't know if that matters or not.
