VxWorks provides separate host-side development tools and target-side runtime environments to manage variables. 1. Setting Variables via the Target Shell
In VxWorks, LD_PATH (Load Path) is an environment variable that defines a list of directories the kernel searches when looking for object modules to load. It functions similarly to the PATH variable in Unix/Linux shells or the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Linux, but specifically tailored for the VxWorks module loader.
If ld returns an error indicating the file cannot be found, verify the LD_PATH syntax.
