You should contact the third party and ask them why they put an invalid object into their library. You can also remove that object: ar dv library.a lib_obj.o and re-try your link. If the lib_obj.o wasn't necessary to begin with, your link will succeed. If it was necessary, the link will fail and you have no other choice but to get a fixed version of library.a from the third party. > And i have no idea what Format error is supposed to mean.... It means that the linker couldn't figure out what 'lib_obj.o' is (apparenly it's not an ELF object file). Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
