Differently from Windows, the list of linking libraries must be in the descend order of dependency, that is, the most dependent first and the less dependent last. Our construction mechanism keep the order of the list defined in the SConstruct, so, keep the libraries in the correct order there. http://www.cantovirtual.com.br/dev-adventures/the-order-of-libs-matter-in-gc.html http://www.cantovirtual.com.br/dev-adventures/the-order-of-libs-matter-in-gc.html Thu, 29 May 2008 17:32:50 -0300 Highlights of chapters 1 and 2 of Peopleware for the Book Meeting of 28.may.2008. http://www.cantovirtual.com.br/dev-adventures/book-meeting-peopleware-chapte.html http://www.cantovirtual.com.br/dev-adventures/book-meeting-peopleware-chapte.html Wed, 28 May 2008 12:49:13 -0300 Ben (the server machine) wasn't using the correct time and every time we try to update it generates the following error: bc.
