Thank you Tristan.
I actually tried the --export-dynamic flag before posting, but could not get it
to work. I feel that it is most likely a problem in my makefile.am (I am using
automake and libtool to generate the makefiles).
Here is the make file for the compilation of the dynamic library:
libmyplugin= /
libmyplugin_LTLIBRARIES=libmyplugin.la
libmyplugin_la_SOURCES=libmyplugin.c libmyplugincallbacks.c
include_HEADERS = libmyplugincallbacks.h
libmyplugin_la_LDFLAGS= -lc -lgcc -avoid-version @PACKAGE_LDFLAGS@
libmyplugin_la_LIBDADD = --export-dynamic @PACKAGE_LIBS@
INCLUDES = @PACKAGE_CFLAGS@
Here is my configure.ac
AC_PREREQ(2.59)
AC_INIT(myapp, 1.0)
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0 gmodule-export-2.0)
PACKAGE_CFLAGS="-g -Wall $GTK_CFLAGS"
PACKAGE_LIBS="-g $GTK_LIBS -ltar"
PACKAGE_LDFLAGS="-Wl, --export-dynamic $GTK_LDFLAGS"
AC_SUBST(PACKAGE_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(PACKAGE_LIBS)
AC_SUBST(PACKAGE_LDFLAGS)
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()
AC_PROG_CC
AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile src/Makefile src/modules/Makefile
src/modules/libmyplugin/Makefile)
AC_OUTPUT
For some reason though, callbacks in "myapp" the main app that loads in the .so
files work fine. Any ideas appreciated. :)
