Ok - I now know better what I want to do. Basically using gcc I want to statically link a number of .as to a shared object and dynamically link the rest. In Solaris I do -h <so name> -z muldefs -z allextract -Bstatic <list of archives> -Bdynamic In gcc what I'm trying is -shared (I require this option due to a few other things) -z muldefs -static <list of archives> -shared This however does not statically link the archives into the shared object(acccording to ldd). Any ideas? Thanks eoin wrote: > > Hi, > I'm a new poster here. I am porting some Solaris code over to Linux > and using the GNU compiler and linker.
