Thanks Greg and Brian.

Yes Greg you were right, the problem was because of my inherited settings from the project. I had to turn off "position dependant binary" from the project. I'm used to CodeWarrior you see which does generate position dependant code, so I thoguht it wouldn't hurt? Guess I was wrong. I hope this won't slow down my library???

Adn thanks Brian for the explanation. After reading it, I finally had the brain wave to detect the problem and fix it.

Works fine now!

For posterity, the fix is turn off "generate position dependant code", which is the GCC_DYNAMIC_NO_PIC setting.

I'm being told that I can't link my product, for some odd reason I have no clue about. I've no idea where these __TEXT or __DATA sections come from and to be honest I don't really want to know about them ;) All I want to do is know about C++ and build a library. Anyhow I guess I will have to learn what these silly linker flags are about.

To be honest this seems to be part of the game when using compiled languages. There are other languages where this is not an issue;o)

So why am I being told these linker errors?

I got the linker errors below and my customised settings below.

These warnings suggest that you are trying to tell the linker to assemble code segments in the same address ranges. The linker is warning you incase you actually need to assemble the code at specific memory address, for example when you compile for a custom microcontroller device, however the linker does rearrange them to addresses that don't overlap. First check if you have prebindings turned on in your settings. For 10.3 or greater, you can turn this off, which should stop these warnings. Also, you may want to look for setting that would be telling the linker to link your code to a specific memory address and change it accordingly. (Prebindings is trying to arrange everything at address 0x0 in this case.)
