library problem

[shilpa_1]

Hi,

While compiling my code on HP 11.x system, the compiler by default links takes dynamic linking. To statically link to libraries I added the following as a flag to cc:
-Wl,-a,archive.
However I get the foll. linker errors:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
shl_findsym (code)
shl_load (code)
shl_unload (code)
On a verbode mode I find that the error comes from libc.a

Why should libc.a call the above functions ?
How do I solve this error ?

Regards.

Hi,
This problem occurs because some functions use Dynamic Name Service
Switch (DNSS), which has dependency on libdld.

For a list of commands that use DNSS, see 'man 4 nsswitch.conf'.

To solve the problem, add '-Wl,-E -Wl,+n -l:libdld.sl' when compiling.

The excutable contains all archived libraries but libdld.sl. Unless
you change these function, an application that uses these interfaces
(DNSS) cannot be fully archive bound.


Best of luck
