I am having problems in Red Hat Linux 8.0 in building shared files. Could someone help. I never face the same problem with Red Hat Linux 7.3 Below are the details of the problem. Zakaria Aygula [shell]$ g++ -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/u sr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --host=i386-redhat-linux --with-system -zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) [shell]$g++ sum_array.cc -c Where sum_array.cc is the code below. sum_array.cc //####################################### float sum_array(int argc, void *argv[]) { float *fp, s=0.0; int n; for( n= *(int *)argv[1], fp=(float *)argv[0]; n--;) s += *fp++; return (s); } //########################################## now the shared file is [shell]$g++ -shared -o example.so sum_array.o [shell]$ nm example.so ................................ ................................ 00000514 T _init 000017bc d __JCR_END__ 000017bc d __JCR_LIST__ w _Jv_RegisterClasses 000016cc d p.0 00000628 T _Z9sum_arrayiPPv <======= Here is the diference with Red Hat 7.3 g++ compiler, and the shared file does not execute in Red Hat 8.0. The last symbol is different from Red Hat Linux 7.3 as shown below. [shell]$g++ -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110) Which gives 00000680 t gcc2_compiled. 00000670 t init_dummy 00000710 t init_dummy 00001858 b object.2 00001744 d p.0 00000680 T sum_array__FiPPv <======= Here is the difference with Red Hat Linux 8.0 g++ compiler And it is the correct one. Can someone out there help how to compile corectly on Red Hat Linux 8.0 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
