Whatever anybody wants to say about Microsoft at least they do not have weird quirky bugs in their sdk’s. When you write code that uses Microsoft SDK’s at least you know it is not going to do totally weird things. Apple’s SDK’s are laden with their own bugs. Hey apple fix your own bugs!!

I don’t have control over the link line, since I am using a CMake generated XCode project, but “man ld” revealed this, which solved the problem for me.

-no_order_inits
When the -order_file option is not used, the linker lays out functions in object file order and it moves all initializer rou-
tines to the start of the __text section and terminator routines to the end. Use this option to disable the automatic re-
arrangement of initializers and terminators.

@yasirr – I don’t really want to go into depth about what I’m trying to link against – it’s largely irrelevant anyway.

I really suggest that everyone files a bug report and then maybe things will happen Apple’s end to fix it.

thnx for a very fine prompt reply Galloway. can we discuss what we both are basically want to do and this public forum i am not familiar with her policy .. ok i just start if admin allow me i will proceed, i am on mencoder’s x264 .a files to produce a video out of images stream, my problem is when i link .a files which are pretty dependent to each other so linking order i can predict is what causing all mess in my project

@yasirr – No real fix found yet AFAIK. Please file a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com/ – I have and they replied immediately but no fix found yet. If everyone files a bug then maybe they’ll fix it!

ld: ldr 12-bit displacement out of range (4260 max +/-4096) in _AudioFileCreateWithURL$stub in _AudioFileCreateWithURL$stub

i am facing similar kind of problem any solution or suggestion ? thanks in advance

i have tried every option mentioned by @all above but hardly found a kind success build i am thinking if there is a link reordering solution for static libraries we are using …

It’s still a major problem for me and happens when I’m linking against too many things / too large libraries. It only happens when building for armv6 and it’s mightily annoying!

Has anyone found a solution yet? I am also having this problem. It started when I added the libiSlide.a library, which is an advertisement fetching library (don’t hate me!).

If I remove the library the error goes away. But I need the library to finish the project.

BTW this same library links without error in my other projects so I know it isn’t that library that is the problem.

I’ve also rearranged the link order of my other libraries and the error still occurs.

I began adding other libraries that I didn’t need to see what would happen. I managed to get it to link correctly once with some random unneeded library, but the error just came back later.

Any help would be appreciated!

Winston, what about frameworks? Which ones are you linking against?

I’m also receiving the same errors. My libraries that I’m linking in is:
-lMagickWand -lMagickCore -lMagick++ -lpthread -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lm -ltiff.
I am trying the reordering strategy. For me, the same experience as above, Device 3.0 build+deploy works.
