[build] How can I change how the linker is called?
This is for my PowerPC Tiger Mac system. I've installed GCC 4.7 fromMacPorts on it. I have it set in C++11 mode.
Yesterday, I wrote on the list that I couldn't get the example file torun in my new trial project. (It's athttps://github.com/CTMacUser/Unionize.) As soon as I added acompile-fail test and the corresponding line to Jamfile, everything worked!
Sort of. The compile-fail test fails as expected (at compile-time).The example file still doesn't run due to a linking error I've seen before:

I don't think my versions of "ld" have"--start-group" or "--end-group" options. What should they be instead,and where do I make these changes? (Even if no one here can answer thefirst part, they should be able to answer the second. That's where I'llmake the changes if I have to ask about the first part elsewhere.) Oh, I've uploaded the version of the project used here. Its SHA ID is"535241c3f13a9488bd845549ce3b1cf661ffcbac". (It's the latest as of this writing.)
Try using gcc : 4.7 : /command/ : <linker-type>darwin ; In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Try
using gcc : 4.7 : /command/ : <linker-type>darwin ;
It worked. In fact, I think I've had posted this same problem before, and the solution wassimilar. (But it was to call the toolset "darwin" instead of "gcc". This probablydoes the same thing.) Thanks. (Sorry for wasting everyone's time.) Daryle W.
