Hello,
I've been trolling around google and the mailing list archives and can't
find the answers I'm looking for, so hopefully this is the right place to
turn...
I'm trying to extend a package by allowing it to crease shared dynamic
libraries which I plan to link against in a perl package. I've found a
way to create what I want, but upon reading a bit I've found it's probably
not portable beyond linux, so I'm trying to determine the "right way" to
do it. Everything I've read indicates I should use libtool, but I'm
having trouble determining exactly how to get libtool to make shared
dynamic libraries.
I've currently modified this package's existing Makefile.in to have the
following line:
libhmmer.so: $(OBJS)
$(CC) -shared -Wl,-soname,libhmmer.so -o libhmmer.so $(OBJS)
>From what I understand .so is very linux-centric. How would I create
something more portable? Or even configure things so a dynamic library is
only created when supported by the OS?
This package already has the following section:
libhmmer.a: $(OBJS)
$(AR) libhmmer.a $(OBJS)
$(RANLIB) libhmmer.a
chmod 644 libhmmer.a
Which again, I'm unsure of the portability of this.
Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
