Corrupt Object File (Windows CE 5.0)
Sometimes the linker cannot process object files because they are corrupt.
In addition to the usual causes of corrupt files such as network problems or exposing a floppy disk to a magnetic field, sometimes the compiler writes an incorrect object file, which you should report to Microsoft Product Support Services.
After you rule out a hardware, OS, or network problem as the cause of the corrupt object file, try the following tips. Changing compiler options and recompiling sometimes causes the compiler to write a noncorrupt object file.
The following list shows possible solutions for this error.
- Turn off optimization with the /Od (Disable) option.
- Compile with the /Gy (Enable Function-Level Linking) option to package functions.
- Use a different code generation option. See the /G (Optimize for Processor) options.
- Change the order of functions and global variables.
