Hi,

where do the SEARCH_DIRs in link.res come from?

My build has started failing, after trying it on a new computer with "/home/benito/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ld.bfd:android/libs/armeabi/link42815.res:17: ignoring invalid character `'' in expression"

link.res starts with:

SEARCH_DIR(/home/benito/opt/android/sdk/ndk-bundle/platforms/android-21/arch-arm/usr/lib/) SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/modules/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/aspell/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/gnome-shell/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/binfmt-support/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/udev/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/gcc/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/cups/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/firewalld/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/X11/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/cmake/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/realmd/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/klibc/)
SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib/sasl2/)
SEARCH_DIR('/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/')

...

I guess '/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/ is the problem.  Why would it even add such a dir

How are you specifying your cross-compilation sysroot? Make sure you use the -XR parameter for that, and not -Fl or so. -Fl just instructs the compiler/linker to add a directory to the list of standard directories to search, rather than to completely ignore your host system and only look for libraries in the hierarchy below the sysroot.

Some are hardcoded, and fpc.cfg might contain -Fl lines with paths too from parsing ld.so.conf on install

I use -Fl in ~/.fpc.cfg...

When I use -XR nothing happens. The link.res is the same, except -Fl prepends the path to link.res and -XR just ignores it. (same for -Xr)

Well, I did not put them in ~/.fpc.cfg
In /etc/fpc.cfg there is

-Fl/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10
-Fl/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fpc/$fpcversion/lib/$FPCTARGET -Fl/usr/lib/$fpctarget-*

The last one explains it. I actually have a directory /usr/lib/'${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}'.  Why would Ubuntu even ship such a directory.

$ dpkg -S DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH
libnss3:i386, libnss3:amd64:
/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/libfreeblpriv3.chk
libnss3:i386, libnss3:amd64:
/usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/libfreeblpriv3.so
libnss3:i386, libnss3:amd64: /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/libfreebl3.chk libnss3:i386, libnss3:amd64: /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/libfreebl3.so libnss3:i386, libnss3:amd64: /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
