libtool issue on shared lib

libtool issue on shared lib

[marco atzeri]

I am trying to adapt socketxx to cygwin
(http://www.linuxhacker.at/socketxx)

In addition to a lot of other problems, I have a puzzling libtool issue


make[2]: Entering directory 
`/pub/devel/gdcm/socket++-1.12.13_build/socket++'
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX    --mode=link g++   -Wall -g -O2 
-version-info 1:2:0  -o libsocket++.la -rpath /usr/local/lib 
sockstream.lo sockinet.lo sockunix.lo  pipestream.lo fork.lo protocol.lo 
echo.lo smtp.lo ftp.lo  sig.lo
libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin 
shared libraries

but

g++   -Wall -g -O2 -shared  -o cygsocket++-0.dll 
-Wl,--out-implib=libsocket++.dll.a sockstream.o sockinet.o sockunix.o 
pipestream.o fork.o protocol.o echo.o smtp.o ftp.o  sig.o
Creating library file: libsocket++.dll.a

$ cygcheck ./cygsocket++-0.dll
E:\cygwin\pub\devel\gdcm\socket++-1.12.13_build\socket++\cygsocket++-0.dll
   E:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
[cut]
   E:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll
   E:\cygwin\bin\cygstdc++-6.dll


So where is the undefined symbol ??


I am already using "autoreconf -f -i" and the libtool
seems equivalent to what is working for any other package

adding LT_INIT([dlopen win32-dll shared])
to configure.in had no effect

and the  Makefile.am is very basic
---------------------------------------------
INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_builddir)

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libsocket++.la
libsocket___la_SOURCES = sockstream.cpp sockstream.h \
         sockinet.cpp sockinet.h \
         sockunix.cpp sockunix.h\
         pipestream.cpp pipestream.h \
         fork.cpp fork.h \
         protocol.cpp protocol.h \
         echo.cpp echo.h \
         smtp.cpp smtp.h \
         ftp.cpp ftp.h \
         sig.cpp sig.h

libsocketincludedir=$(includedir)/socket++
libsocketinclude_HEADERS = \
         sockstream.h \
         sockinet.h \
         sockunix.h\
         pipestream.h \
         fork.h \
         protocol.h \
         echo.h \
         smtp.h \
         ftp.h \
         sig.h
libsocket___la_LDFLAGS = -version-info @LIBSOCKET_SO_VERSION@
-------------------------------------------------

Any idea about what I should look for ?

Marco

Libtool want's the package to declare that it does not have any
undefined symbols.  But if this package does have undefined
symbols in it, then it can't be build (easily) on Cygwin.

You can try to feed -no-undefined to libtool when it links, telling
libtool that the library does not have any undefined symbols,
libtool will then at least try to create a DLL.  I would add it
to libsocket___la_LDFLAGS.

Cheers,
Peter
