Ok having attempted to build both static and shared was the problem. I
opted to build only static by configuring with --disable-shared and so I
believe it build the static version of the library. Now when I do an
'ar tv' on my static library I get nothing returned. Is this normal?
Unfortunately, when I try to compile using this library I get the following:
g++ -g -O2 -o bin/ac2gi atlas/cpp/src/apps/ac2gi.o
lib/.libs/libseqget.a /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a
/flash/home/jling/install/lib/libubic.a -lz
collect2: /flash/home/jling/install/lib/libubic.a: not a COFF file
make: *** [bin/ac2gi] Error 1
What does it take to get that library into COFF format?
Thank You,
John Ling

This is incorrect. It looks like the library contains both shared
object and static objects. You should build one other the other, not
both.

Your actions are incorrect. Do not install the .so file. The .so
file should be archived, as is occurring.

If the export file already is being created, that's fine. The
problem may be the two different objects in the archive. You probably
should use --disable-shared or --disable-static when configuring libtool.
