Bug 153208

Summary: 
I use NetBeans (v. 6.5 Beta, now RC2 ; v. 6.1 not used by downloaded) to develop scientific programmes coded in 
Fortran. I am currently building dynamic libraries, as well as static libraries (but not preferred as indicated in your 
documentation). Linking my libraries with a main.f - or main.c to test this process through a simple hello programme) 
always fails. One reason put forward by NetBeans : crt0.o not found.

With the Finder, I looked for crt0.o. It doesn't exist. I found crt1.o in /Developer/STKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/lib, but 
NetBeans doesn't call it (through dyld and ld for the linking phase).

The APPLE Technical Q&A 1118 is very explicit and very useful, but not with NetBeans it seems. Not found crt0 
(.c, .as ???) in the Darwin download page.

Steps to Reproduce:
Linking (with -L and -l options) libraries - dynamic or static - with NetBeans. 

Expected Results:
Download the library, and issue the correct results (e.g., such a message).

Actual Results:
Some errors : 
i) dyld : library not downloaded.
ii) crt0.o not found.
iii) Reason : image not found.

Regression:
Mac OS-X Leopard 10.5.5. Xcode 3.1.1. NetBeans 6.5beta, NetBeans 6.5RC2, NetBeans 6.1.

Notes:
First programme used : a radiative transfer simulation software coded in Fortran.

To test the "error", having wriiten a simple Hello programme with a library :
i) hello.h :
void hello (void) ;
ii) hello.c :
#include <stdio.h>
void hello (void)
{
    printf ("Hello ! Si ça s'affiche, c'est que ça marche.\n");
}
iii) main.c :
#include <stdio.h>
#include "hello.h"
main ()
{
        hello () ;
}

Building the library linhello.dylib (or libhello.a) with hello.c. Then linking with main.o. With GNU gcc in a Terminal 
window, it works. Not with NetBeans. Regrets.

Hoping you a good receipt.
