Remote-Mode Custom Library Doesn't Link Properly

[awneil]

Building a custom library is easy - just check the appropriate box in the Project Wizard.

But actually using this Library seems to be virtually impossible!
See: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1436

Even having struggled through all the slings & arrows of Wavecom’s outrageous scripts, so that the project compiles and the Linker looks to the correct library, the Remote Mode Link fails abysmally with loads of warnings & errors; eg,

Linking…

It seems that the Library has included all the runtine support, and the application is trying to include them all again!

The result is the same whether the library is included with full source, or via the plug-in hack…

The linker can be forced to ignore all these errors and warnings with the /FORCE option - but that seems rather rash!

So, what am I missing here?

This only applies to the Remote Mode (MSVS) build - the Target build (GCC) is fine.

I’m using Open-AT v3.12/3.13.
