Object file linking problem

[jeemonjoy]

Hi,

When I tried to create an independent project with all the required platform (driver, hal, OSA, system, start_up, utilities, CMSIS, ...) files, following error occurred during the linking.

Error is:

arm-none-eabi-gcc: error: ./Libraies/fatfs/fsl_sd_disk/src/fsl_sd_disk.o: No such file or directory

make: *** [SD.elf] Error 1

While observing the error, I could see that the directory name (Libraries) in  linking path "../Libraies/fatfs/fsl_sd_disk/src/fsl_sd_disk.o" is wrong ("r" is missing in "/Libraries").

And also object file "fsl_sd_disk.o" is created in specified directory.

Work around:

Limited the linkage of number of object files by including some of the *.c files to a single .c file and excluding those included *.c files from the project.

After doing this I could create independent project successfully.

Is there any limitations on linking the number of object files?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Jeemon Joy,

The issue seems to be related with the 8192 character command line limit on Windows. Please take a look to the following post created by our colleague Erich Styger, it explains how to solve this issue:

Hope it helps!
