Can anyone out there tell me how I might use ld as a stand alone linker -
i.e. not use gcc as the linker.  If I understand correctly, gcc simply calls
ld with the correct command-line options.

For example, if I had two files main.c and process.c and process.c made a
call to printf, after compiling with gcc, using the -c flag, what would I
need to include in the linker script.  I've had a go at this, and assume
that I need to include libc.a, but when using the command line:

ld -o test.exe -Lt:\djgpp\lib -lt:\djgpp\lib\libc.a main.o process.o

I get the error message:

T:/DJGPP/BIN/ld.exe: cannot find -lt:\djgpp\lib\libc.a

What am I doing wrong?

Any help much appreciated.

Hax
