To address the ld returned 1 error, I systematically investigated potential causes and implemented solutions:
-
Examined Build Scripts: Verified that all paths in Makefile were correctly specified, ensuring no missing libraries or header files.
-
Analyzed Error Messages: Carefully reviewed the detailed error messages provided by ld, which indicated a missing library ( libssl.so).
-
Linked Necessary Libraries: Added –lssl to the linker options to include the SSL library during compilation.
-
Resolved Path Issues: Ensured that the correct paths for libraries were set using environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
By addressing these areas, I successfully resolved the error and achieved successful program compilation.
