 Hi John, Brian

Thanks much for your information. I checked and found that the libraries
are C++ and I had to add /usr/lib/libC.a in AIX and
/usr/lib/libCstd.so.1 for Solaris and it worked fine. Thanks for the
information on the C++ ABI, it was helpful.

With Regards

Vardhan

Hi Vardhan,

I've never has problem linking non-GCC compiled libraries with GCC on
AIX, or GCC on Solaris.

All C compilers on those two respective platforms comply with the
platform ABI.

(Now if you were using C++, that'd be a different story, since their is
no standard C++ ABI.)

Hi All

Is there any way to link a non-gcc compiled library with a gcc compiled
binary? I have a 3rd party software which has been created using native
AIX and Solaris compilers as shared library and archive. I have recently
ported my application to compile and link with GCC on Solars and AIX. I
need to use this 3rd party software to complete to test. Is there any
way I can make this link. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
