Hi Everyone

I am fooling around a bit today. I used a null terminated record and passed it to printf in C code and now I am just fooling around with Jim Tcl.

I am having this error:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libjim.a(jim.o): in function `Jim_AppendStrings':
/home/patrick/JIM-DOODLING/jim2/jimtcl/jim.c:2544: undefined reference to `__va_start'

gnatlink: error when calling /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-9  

Does gnatlink add libc by itself when there is C code being linked? I am assuming not but I don't know how to add it.

here is my build.sh

gcc-9 -c   call_printf_src.c  -I/usr/local/include
gcc-9 -c    pointer_test.adb c.ads
gnatlink -o pointer_test  -ljim -lm -ldl  -shared-libgcc pointer_test.ali  call_printf_src.o

I don't want to use gprbuild or anything that will hide what is happening. I want to learn a little more about compiling Ada.

Thanks for reading-Patrick
