copied!<p>I'm not sure that there is any option for simply printing the full effective search path.</p> <p>But: the search path consists of directories specified by <code>-L</code> options on the command line, followed by directories added to the search path by <code>SEARCH_DIR("...")</code> directives in the linker script(s). So you can work it out if you can see both of those, which you can do as follows:</p> <p>If you're invoking <code>ld</code> directly:</p> <ul> <li>The <code>-L</code> options are whatever you've said they are.</li> <li>To see the linker script, add the <code>--verbose</code> option. Look for the <code>SEARCH_DIR("...")</code> directives, usually near the top of the output. (Note that these are not necessarily the same for every invocation of <code>ld</code> -- the linker has a number of different built-in default linker scripts, and chooses between them based on various other linker options.)</li> </ul> <p>If you're linking via <code>gcc</code>:</p> <ul> <li>You can pass the <code>-v</code> option to <code>gcc</code> so that it shows you how it invokes the linker. In fact, it normally does not invoke <code>ld</code> directly, but indirectly via a tool called <code>collect2</code> (which lives in one of its internal directories), which in turn invokes <code>ld</code>. That will show you what <code>-L</code> options are being used.</li> <li>You can add <code>-Wl,--verbose</code> to the <code>gcc</code> options to make it pass <code>--verbose</code> through to the linker, to see the linker script as described above.</li> </ul>
