I am trying to convert the gsl libraries from static to shared. I only became aware of the beasts and their difference in the past few days, and I found the following command example to do it (http://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~gcc/shared_libraries.html): #! /usr/bin/ksh -p # # Makes a shared library from a static one # static_library=$1; shared_library=$2 ld -shared -s -h /freeware/gcc/linux-i386/lib/{shared_library} -o ${shared_library:-${static_library%%a}so} -whole-archive ${static_library} But on cygwin, ld does not have the -h option, and following the suggested command thus: ld -shared -s -o libgsl.so -whole-archive libgsl.a gives a long listing of undefined references. And of course, no .so library at the end of the exercise. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Mirko
