Description Tom Tromey CLA 2005-09-02 14:24:13 EDT 
I noticed recently that link errors show up strangely in the Problems view.

On Linux an easy way to see this is to make a managed build project
with a single source file that uses '#include <zlib.h>' and, in main(),
calls 'zError(5)' -- but do not link with -lz.

In the Problems view I see two errors related to this project.
First, and correctly, there is:  undefined reference to `zError'.
Clicking on this takes me to the correct line in main.cc.

Second, and incorrectly, there is an error whose text reads:
  *g++ -odemo ./main.o ./new.o In function `main':
Clicking on this attempts to open main.o.

Reassigning to core.

If this problem still happens please provide example of console output related to the error. This might've been fixed for the last 5 years.

I tried out the example and it correctly reported the error of the undefined reference plus the make failure, but no extraneous problem as described.
