Is it possible to build shared lib using gcc and g77 ?

[Jie Zhang]

Dear Sir/Madam:
 
I am asking help to solve a problem associated 
with g77 and gcc.
 
Problem description: A C program and a 
Fortran program, we  want to compile and link  them together under 
Solaries 2.6 by using gcc and g77 to create a shared lib 
(.so).   
We have tried enumerous ways. All failed. (note: 
we are aware of the underscore 
convention of g77)
 
To give you a example, one way I tried 
is, ----------------------------------------- gcc -fpic -c 
myCProgram.c g77 -fpic -c myFortranProgramc. gcc -G -o libmyGod.a 
myCProgram.o myFortranProgram.o -lg2c -lc 
-lm ----------------------------------------- The trouble is : 
"MAIN__" of libg2c.a cannot be resolved. I also tried using 
"ld" as link command rather than "gcc" or "g77". 
The created lib just cannot be load correctly. The last way I tried 
was to use the utility of f2c to translate all the Fortran code to C 
code.  However, the library of libf77.a and libi77.a 
which   
come with f2c get me into the same problem of 
before. That is "MAIN__" cannot 
be resolved. Now I start to doubt if I am 
able to create my shared lib by using gcc and g77. Do I need to switch my 
compiler to a commercial product like f77 ? Is there a definite answer to 
this ? Your input is highly appreciated.
