<sco_object>.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there anyway to use the SCO object under linux?  I have messed around
with the iBCS and that seems to only be for binary compatibility not so
much "object" compatibility.  Would it be possible to use a SCO compiler
to compile the project?  If so, where might I get a hold of a SCO
compiler?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Could it be that the SCO object file is 'coff' object format, not ELF?

Try 'file SCO.object' on both the linux and SCO box if you can.

On my SCO box, the default object format is COFF, not ELF.
