Creating a static library on Mac 10.5 with xcode via libtool and with ar via the command line both generate a libMainProject.a file however, when trying to use the one generate by libtool to link into a xcode application I end up with multiple message like "vtable for project1 referenced from: _ZTV27project1$non _lazy _ ptr in libMain...
I have a project with a huge amount of auto-generated code, which we build into a static library before linking into the final executable. We use gcc/gnat 5.04a There are so many files, we have to break the job into batches and invoke ar multiple times to construct the library (in order to avoid the command-line length limitation), e.g...
I have a small piece of code that depends on many static libraries (a_1-a_n). I'd like to package up that code in a static library and make it available to other people. My static library, lets call it X, compiles fine. I've created a simple sample program that uses a function from X, but when I try to link it to X, I get many errors...
Question: Is it possible to compile a program on linux using a .dll file? Where this is going: This .dll will be used to write a php extension to some proprietary software from a third party. Background and Research: I have been given a library called proprietary.lib. I was curious, as I have never seen the .lib extension before, so ...
Is there a way to find out from .a file what version of glibc is expected or was used when building the .a? ...
in general we use ar rcs command to create a static library on unix. what does the flag 's' mean over here man page says Do not generate an archive symbol table. This can speed up building a large library in several steps. The resulting archive can not be used with the linker. In order to build a symbol table, yo...
When using ar with an archive name that already exists, this message is generated: + ar rcs /tmp/libcpfs.a.3nbsv /tmp/cpfs.c.ERGsn /tmp/log.c.1lk6G ar: /tmp/libcpfs.a.3nbsv: File format not recognized The existing archive name is either an empty file (created by mktemp). I want to clobber whatever contents are there anyway, the conte...
When I look at the help output from gar -h, it tells me: [...] gar: supported targets: elf64-x86-64 elf32-i386 a.out-i386-linux [...] How can I instruct gar to create an elf32-i386 output? ...
Hi I have 2 static linux libraries, created by ar cr, libabc.a and libxyz.a. I want to merge them into one static library libaz.a. How can I do this. I want to create a merged static library, not to give both libraries to final link of applications ...
