ld:tldr:eb6e0
ld: Dynamically link an x86_64 program to glibc (file paths change depending on the system).
$ ld --output ${path-to-output_executable} --dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/crt1.o /lib/crti.o -lc ${filename-o} /lib/crtn.o
try on your machine
This command is written in the terminal to link and create an executable file from object files. Let's break it down step by step:
ld
is the linker command, used to link object files and libraries.--output ${path-to-output_executable}
specifies the output executable's path and name.${path-to-output_executable}
should be replaced with the desired location and name.--dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
sets the dynamic linker that will be used during execution./lib/crt1.o
and/lib/crti.o
are object files containing some startup code and initialization routines necessary for an executable.-lc
specifies the C library that should be linked (libc
). This is essential for any program written in C.${filename-o}
should be replaced with the object file(s) or library file(s) to be linked. Multiple files can be specified./lib/crtn.o
is another object file that contains routines to be executed when the program exits.
So, when you run this command, ld (the linker) will combine the object files (crt1.o
, crti.o
, ${filename-o}
, crtn.o
) as well as the C library (libc
), and create an executable file at ${path-to-output_executable}
.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
