Subject: gcc the gnu linker and the -z extract option
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:58:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <18635245.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


Hi,
     I'm a new poster here. I am porting some Solaris code over to Linux and
using the GNU compiler and linker. Now I have a "meta library"(creating a
"master" shared object from mayny shared objects) which creates fine in
Solaris but in Linux it doesn't create as a meta library - ldd suggests that
it depends on the libraries which were previously used to produce the meta
library on solaris.
     Looking into this I can see that with every .so we effectively lose the
identity and so with a metalibrary what we need to do is to "unravel" the
.sos to produce the meta library.
     I do this in Solaris using the -z extract option. I can't see how to do
this in Linux using the GNU linker. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks
