unable to link shared library

[sushant keerti]

Hi all,


We are using nmake utility to build our application. we are able to link the .a library, but unable to link .sl libraries.
Is there any compilation flag do we need to use?.

Actually we are migrating from hp-ux 11.0 to 11.23. We are able to link .sl library in 11.0, but the same is not working in 11.23.

What errors are you getting?
You need to use the -b option to create shlibs in either ld, cc or aCC.
And of course you need to compile with +z/+Z on PA to create PIC code.

Dennis,
We have code which uses dmq messageQ functions. We have installed dmq messageQ and there are dmq libraries which we need to link. One of them is libdmq.sl,this lbrary we are unable to link. But at the same time we are able to link the library named libfml32.a of dmq. These both are in the same directory.

below is the output when i compile the .nmk file with the command
nmake -v -f

You can see that libfml32.a got linked , but for libdmq.sl , it is throwing error.

Is there any specific compilation option do we need to add for linking .sl libraries?

No, I see nothing, just some nmake debugging stuff. (Take the -v off.) I need to see the actual compile and link lines.

Do you have evil "@" at the start of your make rules?

If this is a dependency rule, where is the make rules?
../../../../../develop/bin/MISQRY : -ldmq
You need an actual filename instead of -ldmq.
