The sold linker

sold linker

sold is a fork of mold that supports not only Linux but also macOS/iOS. Originally, sold was available under a commercial license. Now, it has been relicensed under the MIT license.

How to build

The build instruction for sold is the same as for mold except that you check out https://github.com/bluewhalesystems/sold.git instead of https://github.com/rui314/mold.git. For the details, please see https://github.com/rui314/mold#how-to-build.

How to use

sold is installed under several different executable names as follows:

1. ld.sold: GNU ld-compatible linker for Linux and other ELF-based systems. The instructions to use sold on Linux is the same as the mold linker. For the details, see the mold's README.

2. ld64.sold: Apple's ld-compatible mode for macOS/iOS. You can use the linker on macOS by adding --ld-path=path/to/ld64.sold to the linker flags.

3. ld.mold and ld64.mold: They are just aliases for ld.sold and ld64.sold, respectively.
