Using GCC 4.2.1 cross comiling on Windows to Linux.
I am getting a link error:
"collect2: ld returned 53 exit status"
What does this error code mean?
I looked all over google and the only error codes I managed to find
was 1 and 12. Nothing on 53.
Is there a place I can go to to view a listing of all the error
codes
and their meaning?
I found the issue. It was a bad path setting. I don't know why ld
would return such a strange undocumented error code because of it
A bit of googling (cygwin 53 exit status) found me
<http://www.nabble.com/Does-exit-code-53-mean-missing-DLLs--
td7019809.html>
which says it is an error from mswindows, nothing to do with ld (or
even cygwin).
It also has a bunch of hints on how to debug this kind of thing (but
you've
solved it already).
