I have a library that I got from a patented source, and I'm trying to link it, but I get the following error.
libxxx.so: file not recognized: file format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
and really
$ ldd ./libxxx.so statically linked
what does it mean? Never seen statically connected in my life. It may be worth noting that the latest version of the same software included the same .so, for which ldd shows "normal" output, and this works great.
$ file ./libxxx.so ./libxxx.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV) shared
but nm, objdump also does not see anything and readelf returns errors reading the table of strings. Is it possible to assume that this .so is spoiled or is there something else that I can try before I go to "corporate support" and wait two months for them to acknowledge my existence.
