RE: GCC problem on Solaris

[steve_wong at macroview dot com dot hk (Steve Wong)]

	Thx. Oliva, the problem were solved.
	However, I have one qu.,  -static and -shared seems somehow to have
relationship.  I have
tried to specify both for a gcc build statement.  It returns:

ld: warning: option -d appears more than once, first setting taken
ld: fatal: option -dn and -z[text|textwarn|textoff] are incompatible
ld: fatal: option -dn and -G are incompatible
ld: fatal: Flags processing errors

	Now for my understanding,
	-shared means I am going to make a shared object
	-static forces the linking to use archive file rather than shared object.

	Correct me if I am wrong.

Thx. and Regards.
Steve.

It means this library wasn't built with -fPIC.  You can manage to add
it to a SO by using gcc -mimpure-text.

-ldl isn't available as a static library.  Note that -static has a
meaning totally unrelated to that of -shared.  You use the latter to
*create* a shared library, whereas you use the former to *link with*
static libraries.
