Re: Shared library linking with external static libraries.

Thanks, I'm getting closer to what I want.

I've created a simple Version script:

[code]
VERSION {
    {
        global:
            SomeRootNameSpaceClass*;
            SomeOtherRootNameSpaceClass*;
            SomeNameSpace::*;
            SomeOtherNameSpace::*;
        local:
            *;
    };
}
[/code]

But then, if I try to link with the produced so, i get undefined references
to methods that should be exported:

/usr/bin/gcc -o myApp $(OBJS) -L/path/to/the/SdkDir -lMySdk
someObj.o: In function `SomeClass::someMethod()':
someObj.cpp:(.text+0x367): undefined reference to
`SomeNameSpace::SomeClass::someMethod(<params>)'

And a lot of other missing symbols appear. This happens eventhough when i
execute following command:

nm -C --defined-only /path/to/the/SdkDir/libMySdk.so  | grep
"SomeNameSpace::SomeClass::someMethod"

I get, the proper method, which should have been exported:

00087790 t SomeNameSpace::SomeClass::someMethod(<params>)

I bet i'm still missing something.

Thanks again,
Florent.
