Linking is part of compiling source code into an executable file. The ld command builds the final executable. ld is part of GNU’s Binutils. An example linker script is vmlinux.lds used when compiling the Linux kernel. It is located in the arch/ [processor type]/ kernel/ directory.
2 file types use the .lds extension. One type is the Binutils LD Linker Script. LDS files are supported by Linux devices. LDS files belong to the Developer Files category with 1205 other extensions. The software to manage LDS files is GNU Binutils.
LDS files have a “Low” Popularity Rating. So they are rarely in most user’s files. LDS files can be opened by 9 programs. Microsoft Notepad is the main one. These files work on Windows, Mac and Linux. LDS files are found on both desktops and mobiles.
The GNU Project defined the LDS format standard. GNU Binutils make and manage binary programs, object files, libraries, profile data, and assembly code. The common LDS file problem is no association with a program. So when opening a LDS file, a wizard starts instead.
To open a LDS file, first double-click its icon. If the system has a suitable app and an association, it will open. First, verify GNU Binutils is installed. If not, download and install it or similar LDS-supporting software. We list the top LDS-compatible applications below.
