9163.0. "script to unpack archive and convert to .so?" by PEACHS::LAMPERT (Pat Lampert, UNIX Applications Support, 343-1050) Thu Mar 13 1997 10:17

Does anyone have a script or tool which will convert
an archive to a shared object? Something that would
extract all the .o files from a .a file and then link
them into a .so with a single easy command.

	There is no need to unpack a .a (ala static library) in order
	to create a shared object (.so).  Simply specify the name of
	the .a file right where you should have specified the list of
	.o's that make up the .a on the ld command line.

	See the ld(1) man page for how to link a shared object ....
