Creating lib with g++ 4.0.1

Question

I'm trying to create a lib with g++ 4.0.1, but it looks for _main (which deliberately isn't in the code). Must I put a _main in there or can I circumvent with some nifty switch? My current command line looks like:

g++ -shared -o mylib.so myobj1.o myobj2.o ...

On a sidenote I'm using g++ powerpc-apple-darwin9, but I'm guessing/hoping that this should be irrelevant. A more complete printout:

Answer 1

i am not getting any error though the g++ version is 4.1.2. Please post the error message and how you are compiling the source files.

Answer 2

The solution is to upgrade the compiler. As stated by Adil, 4.1.2 seems to work. Myself, I upgraded to 4.3.4 and that worked great too.
