Fully Display Linker Errors

Post by rmgregory »

Currently, a link error is displayed in a fixed-size popup window and will typically be truncated (due to the display of innocuous warnings regarding variant segment attributes). It would be helpful if the complete text of any link error was displayed in the log region of the IDE.

Background: In PB version 5.70LTS (64-bit Windows variant), a link error arises periodically mentioning a single unresolved external whose name is omitted. I realize that it is possible to see the full error by manually linking the object -- and someday I might be to make the effort to do so -- but for the longer term displaying full link error messages seems wise.
