642.0. "building shareable library" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Mon Mar 14 1994 15:39

Subj: 	building shareable library

Has anyone seen a similar problem whereas a flag to ld is interpreted as a file 
name?  I have tried this against BL8 and also against the latest goldos backing 
tree.

The weird this is that the Log/usr_shlib.log shows that the build was 
successfull.  It seems as if there is something really strange going on when 
the build is done from a private sandbox.

Thanks,
- Vikas

This error message occurs because
	`genloc /obj/alpha/usr/shlib/alpha/so_locations`
returned nothing.  I've seen this kind of problem multiple times before,
but always from sites in UNX.  I've never heard what it took to resolve
it.

The problem occured in UNX because they only supped the src
collection and never obj, nor did they ever build it so the file
/obj/alpha/usr/shlib/alpha/so_locations did not exist in their
backing tree.

If you create this directory in the backing tree and copy
src/usr/shlib/alpha/so_locations to it, your build should
work fine. I'm not sure that a sandbox copy of this will work
as I believe it needs to be found in the backingtree.

	Re:  building shareable library

Bingo!!

I just found it.

It seems that one needs to do a build from /usr/shlib.  This sets us the genloc 
command properly.

Actually, I killed the /usr/shlib build after it started compiling libc as by 
that time it had finished with the so_locations stuff.

Now /usr/shlib/libxti built successfully.

To get around the problem: 	

cd /usr/shlib/alpha
build

Then go and build your shared library.
