Spooles does not have config files, so I’m passing the env during build. I used ld to create the dylib from the static library:
--- spooles.2.2.orig/MT/src/makeGlobalLib 1998-09-17 14:25:59.000000000 -0500 +++ spooles.2.2/MT/src/makeGlobalLib 2018-12-01 09:25:00.000000000 -0600 @@ -19,3 +19,4 @@ $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) ../../spooles.a $(OBJ)_*.o rm -f $(OBJ)_*.o $(RANLIB) ../../spooles.a + ld ../../spooles.a -dylib @@LDARCHFLAGS@@ -x -install_name @@PREFIX@@/lib/libspooles.1.dylib -compatibility_version 2.0 -current_version @@VERSION@@ -o ../../libspooles.1.dylib When I check the symbol table using nm, its empty. So I took a look at the build log to see what args are passed, for example: :info:build make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_marbre_ports_math_spooles/spooles/work/spooles.2.2/BKL/src' :info:build /usr/bin/clang -c -Os basics.c -o BKL_basics.o :info:build /usr/bin/clang -c -Os evalfcn.c -o BKL_evalfcn.o :info:build /usr/bin/clang -c -Os exhSearch.c -o BKL_exhSearch.o :info:build /usr/bin/clang -c -Os fidmat.c -o BKL_fidmat.o :info:build /usr/bin/clang -c -Os init.c -o BKL_init.o :info:build /usr/bin/clang -c -Os util.c -o BKL_util.o :info:build ar rv ../../spooles.a BKL_*.o :info:build a - BKL_basics.o :info:build a - BKL_evalfcn.o :info:build a - BKL_exhSearch.o :info:build a - BKL_fidmat.o :info:build a - BKL_init.o :info:build a - BKL_util.o :info:build rm -f BKL_*.o :info:build ranlib ../../spooles.a Don't the objects need to be compiled with the -dynamic flag?
