symbols of a library

symbols of a library

[Puneet Singhal]

HI all
This is kind of offtrack from gcc. Please bear with me.

I am creating libraries using the -G switch.
I get the libraries fine.
It is advised to use the -shared switch. But I get a lot of errors with this
switch.
They are as below:

given above is only a part of the errors. The output is voluminous.
Any clues??

Also, is there any tool which gives me the symbols (functions and variable)
that the particular library defines taking as input the .a or .so.

thanks for ur time,
Puneet

Solaris, eh?  Use -fPIC to compile the object files you're going to
store in a shared library.

One more thing. Id there any tool which takes as input the .a or .so and
gives the symbols that the library defines.
