ld: cannot find

[Meulendijks, J.]

Hi all,

I read the following on the internet:

"You can specify a file name to include sections from a particular file. You
would do this if one or more of your files contain special data that needs to be
at a particular location in memory. For example, use the following input.
  
data.o(.data)"

But when I use this the linker says: "cannot find data.o". But the linkcommand
is including the directory in which data.o is located. I do this with the -L
option.
I don't see what's is wrong with it but I only get this to work if I replace
"data.o(.data)" with "c:/bla/bla/data.o(.data)". So I must give the absolute
path and that's NOT what I want.

Thanks in advance.
