building using shell file is giving error

[code_carnage]

Hello Guys,

I am facing a strange problem.

My shell file build.sh contains

g++ -o Client *.cpp -I ../ace5.5.static -lACE -L ../ace5.5.static/ace

when I run the shell file to do the build.

I am getting following error.

-bash-2.05b$ ./build.sh
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lACE
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
-bash-2.05b$

But when I run this without shell file directly in the shell it comiles all right...

-bash-2.05b$ g++ -o Client *.cpp -I ../ace5.5.static -lACE -L ../ace5.5.static/ace
-bash-2.05b$

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Prashant.

The error message indicates that ld is interpreting -lACE as an argument, not as an option. The only reason for that that I can see, is if *.cpp evaluates to an empty string, which would be very odd behaviour.

Please post the complete shell script.
