Don't expose symbols from a used library in own static library

Question

I am writing a reusable static library for the iPhone, following the directions provided here.

I want to use minizip in my library internally, but don\'

Answer 1

You could rename all exported symbol from minizip with objcopy.

something like

objcopy -redefine-sym=minizip.syms yourstaticlibray.a 

and minizip.syms

_unzOpen     _yourownprefix_unzOpen
_unzOpen2    _yourownprefix_unzOpen2
...          ...

No clash if an executable is linked with an other minizip.a and yourstaticlibray.a, and because you renamed all the symbol in yourstaticlibray.a your call inside yourstaticlibray.a to minizip will use the prefixed symbol, and not the unzOpen one.
