Hey, I'm trying to use gmodule, but am unfamiliar with libtool and
linking, and am unsure about what compilation commands to use (I've gone
through the libtool info pages, but still can't quite get it to work).
Can anyone tell me how to compile a single source file that uses glib
and gmodule into a ".so" file on Linux, such that gmodule can use it?
I've pasted the source for the very simple test library and test
executable I'm trying to get to work below, though I don't expect that
their contents are important. Many thanks,
It is probably overkill, but you can take a gander at the Makefile.am
Makefile.in configure and configure.ac in:
http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf4/branches/glib_migration
for examples of what may not be pristine, nor adhere to chapter and
verse, but seem to be functional use of libtool with automake et al and
GModule.
test.c (an executable that loads the library at runtime)
------------------------
#include <glib.h>
#include <gmodule.h>
#define PLUGIN_FILE "./libtestplugin.so"
One thing I've just learned getting netperf4 to work on Linux, HP-UX,
AIX, MacOS X and Windows is that "g_module_open means never having to
include the suffix" so you can, and perhaps should (?) drop the ".so"
