Just using plain libOSLib32.a in the command worked fine with a copy
in the source (CSD) directory, so I new it /would/ work once it could
be found.
I followed up the use of -LOSLib:, and found that I had previously
put the supplied OSLib setvars commands in my !GCC.!Run.
Once I changed the path to
Set OSLib$Path <SharedLibs$Dir>.lib.
now
-LOSLib: -lOSLib32
works fine with -static
Yes, -LOSLib: /is/ needed when static linking, I was lazely thinking
that because non-static was finding the lib then all was well.
I also started off thinking native gcc defaulted to -static so
was slow getting here.
Thanks Ron M.
