Hi, I'm trying to compile a special version of sqlite and I've run into a wall near the end. Apparently qcc does not recognize libtool .lo files.  

sqlite3.lo: file not recognized: File format not recognized

This is what the file looks like

# sqlite3.lo - a libtool object file
# Generated by ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.

# Name of the PIC object.
pic_object='.libs/sqlite3.o'

# Name of the non-PIC object
non_pic_object='sqlite3.o'

Perhaps there is a flag missing that I need to get this to work? I then later tried to directly point the qcc to the .o file, but his left me with many undefined references.

What exactly do you run when you get sqlite3.lo: file not recognized: File format not recognized

This is in OSX using the bb10 compiler.

--- this is part of a larger command from libtool that is not creating the right output.

should create libsqlite3.so.8 inside of the .libs directory, but it isn't there. I think it is because the qcc command does't work.

.la and .lo files are to be used with libtool not with qcc/gcc

Turns out I was spelling my libraries wrong!  Thanks for taking the time to answer.
