Using aCC shared libs with cc

[Andrew Herrmann]

I compiled a simple "hello world" program in C++ using aCC (options -b,+z). This is a simple shared library that contains a function called hw which displays the string "Hello World."

If I build a test program using aCC that calls hw and uses my "Hello World" shared library, everything works great.

If I build a test program that using cc INSTEAD of aCC, I receive the following error message when I try to run it:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: unresolved symbol __shlinit (code) from ./libhello

Note: I've used an extern "c" on the function hw to prevent name mangling.

Is it possible to use an aCC shared library from a cc compiled program? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Andy

An aCC built shared library needs to be linked with the c++
runtime libraries if it will be used by a program linked without
aCC. The details are described in this document (for the
A.03.37 release of aCC)
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/2213/distributing.htm#distributing
You can run "aCC +help" to view the documentation for the release that you have installed.
