libtool

I have a problem building a shared library with GCC/Linux. Currently this shared library is created with GCC/libtool option "-shared" and everything is fine. Now there are two additional, static libraries (.a-files) that have to be added to this shared one since they provide some functionality that is required by the shared one. Adding these static libraries with option "-l" does not help, afterwards they are not part of the .so file. So how can I force GCC/libtool to really add the code of these static libraries to the shared library? Thanks! Dmitry Yudakov You need --whole-archive linker

I've installed mingw and msys by using mingw-get-setup.exe . I've also installed Autotools(autoconf, automake,m4,libtool) into C:\/opt/autotools . When I run automake, the following error always occurs: configure.ac:11: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found If I copy ltmain.sh from libtool’s installed tree, execution will finish normally. How can I configuure automake to find ltmain.sh without copying? In an autoconf / automake / libtool project you have to invoke: libtoolize : this copies/links a few support scripts, including ltmain.sh (which is the main component of libtool). aclocal

I'm trying to setup an automake project that uses a mix of libtool libraries and exectuables, and I'm having a hard time grokking the automake documentation, esp. as relates to telling the compiler to link against. So can someone explain the differences between LDADD and LIBADD ? Things like: when is one used over the other, which one takes -lname_of_library style values vs. direct filenames, etc. Whenever I try to read the relevant documentation, it seems like it assumes that I know things that I don't. Use the LIBADD primary for libraries, and LDADD for executables. If you were building a

This is about plugin features in my program. I need a C++ class(and object) in a plugin could be used by main module through an interface. The interface inheritance like this: typedef struct _rwd_plugin_root_t RWD_PLUGIN_ROOT_T; struct RWD_PLUGIN_API _rwd_plugin_root_t { virtual int add_ref() = 0; virtual int release() = 0; }; typedef struct _rwd_plugin_base_t RWD_PLUGIN_BASE_T; struct RWD_PLUGIN_API _rwd_plugin_base_t : _rwd_plugin_root_t { virtual RWD_PLUGIN_TYPE_T get_plugin_type() = 0; virtual const char * get_plugin_label_a() = 0; virtual const wchar_t * get_plugin_label_w() = 0; };
