Error while using C linker

Sujata_1 — Sun, 22 Feb 2004 11:00:46 GMT

Hello All,

I have a shared library 'A' written in C. This library has dependency on another shared library 'B' written in C++ and exposes some APIs which 'A' library uses. Now the problem is that if I use the C++ linker, thinks work fine. But if I use C linker, then I get the following error,
ld: Unsatisfied symbol "main" in file
1 errors.

I am using HP-11.00 RISC with aCC 3.37 compiler and OSF 5.1 CPQ 6.5 compiler. Is there any linker flag that I should use? Any workaround? My requirement is basically to use the C linker and not C++.
I don't have main implemented in both the libraries.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sujata.

Hi,

from the error it seems to miss the option when try to create other
Shared. To create a shared library from one or more object files use the -b option at link time.

For examples:
aCC -b -o MyShared.sl Func1.o Func2.o

In every case, the C++ compiler must know that f(int,char,float) is to be called by a C compiler using the extern C construct.

Best Regards,
Cristiano
