I'm working on a sunvox.dll header tranlation from c++ to fpc. works
fine on windows with both static and dynamic linking but on linux it
gives me such errors when trying to link in static 'mode':
Code: [Select]/usr/bin/ld: warning:
/home/luksz/SunVoxPas/test/bin/link.res contains output sections; did
you forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsunvox
SunVoxTest.lpr(59,1) Error: Error while linking
I'm totally fresh to programming under linux so no idea what it means
project can be found here: https://github.com/laggyluk/SunVoxPas

On linux, when you specify -lsunvox, ld will search for libsunvox.so
or libsunvox.a. The sunvox library on linux is named sunvox.so. The
easiest solution is to create a symlink libsunvox.so to sunvox.so in
your library path.

If you are new to linux, watch out for the search algorithm for
libraries which is quite different from windows. The current directory
is NOT in the library search path per default. See the ld manpage
http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ld and search for
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
