Linking Fatal Error

Skandh — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 07:12:15 GMT

I am creating shared library, say A.so, which links to other library, say B.so.
B.so depends on,say, C.so.

A.so <- B.so <- C.so

On my system B.so present but C.so is not present.

So while linking I am getting
Fatal Error : ld: Can't find dependent library C.so

Linkline:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld -b +nosymb _ZTS* -o A.so +pi 16M +pd 16M +s -B immediate -Llibs/ a.o -lB

As per my understanding there should not be any linking error.
Please help me to circumvent linking error.

Thanks

Where does it say this?

You'll need to create an "empty" shlib or possibly create a symlink to libc.so.1.

Note: You should NOT be using ld directly to create aC++ shlibs, use "aCC -b".
