Derek Fields" <derek@gamekeeper.bellcore.com> +Date: Thu, 08 Sep 94 14:14:07 -0400 + +There are two important points. First, the python executable must be +linked with the -E option to explicitly export all symbols. This +works with the vanilla interpreter, but I am not sure how friendly it +will be when I try to embed the interpreter in a larger application. +It may be necessary to hand tune the exports using the -e option. +Anyway, the additional flag to $(CC) is "-Wl,-E", which passes the -E +flag to the compiler. My link line (from an actual run) looks like +this: + +cc config.o -Wl,-E libModules.a ../Python/libPython.a ../Objects/libObjects.a ../Parser/libParser.a -lm -ldld -o python + +Second, the dynamic module must be compiled with the +z option to make +it position independent and then linked into a shared library: + +ld -b -o <modName>module.sl <object list> + +The -b tells the linker to produce a shared library. |
