View 3 RepliesI think that the solution is very simple, but I cannot reach this solution. I'm trying to build an B.so that uses A.so.
A.so is compiled using C;
B.so is compiled using C++;
Inside "Aso.h" file I'had declared:
Code:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
[code]....
There's no error to compile that, this library seems to be compiled correctly, but using the "nm" command the Aso.so functions appear with "U" of undefined. Trying to build an executable using the Bso.so library, I got this error: /lib/../lib/libBso.so: undefined reference to `foo(int, int, int)' I think that to solve this problem it's only link the Aso.so with the .o files generated at the compilation phase of my Bso. Using the "ldd" command I'm able to see that Bso.so depends on Aso.so, so what am I missing?
I'm reading about shared, static, and dynamic libraries. What is SDL? Is it static, shared, or dynamic?
I always thought a library would be a lot of .h and .cpp files compiled separately into .o files and then if you compiled your own program you could use the -l parameter to link the library and it was all compiled together. Now I'm not so sure.
I don't even see any SDL .cpp files in my system anywhere. All I have are lots of SDL .h files in /usr/include/SDL and I don't really understand the code in them.
I'm making a wild guess here: SDL is a shared library. SDL itself is NOT compiled into my program, therefore SDL must be on any system my program tries to run on. When I compile and link SDL all it needs is the header files to know what SDL function and objects it can use. And then on every system it uses an already compiled SDL shared library thingy somewhere.
So... where is that part of SDL? All I can find are header files.
I'm thinking the advantage of shared libraries is that someone could say update SDL on their own system and take advantage of the new features without having to download new executables with the new version of SDL compiled into them for every program that uses SDL.
So if I'm making an editor and a game engine and they both use a lot of the same .cpp and .h files that I wrote and I'm tired of updating one and then the other and I need to turn them into a library, then a shared library might be kind of a silly solution. I could just make a static library. Right? Because it's not SDL. Nobody else is ever going to use this library.
I'm trying to install the latest debug flashplayer available here:

I follow the embedded instructions and this is the error:
root@vostro-ubuntu:~# /home/berrie/work/download/install_flash_player_10_linux/flashplayer-installer
[: 258: closing paren expected
ERROR: Your glibc library is older than 2.3.

I'm running Ubuntu Karmic Koala and it is up to date.
Could it be that the flash installer parses the version number wrong as previously it was glibc-2.9-1, a '9' after the dot, now there is a '1'.
We recently ported an application over from IRIX to Linux, specifically SUSE Enterprise 11 and gcc (glibc 2.9). On IRIX there was a library trace utility call 'par' that allowed me to execute a C program and trace all the library calls it made, tracking how much time was spent in each call. I have been trying to find something similar for SUSE. I have found the ?trace programs (strace, ltrace, and ktrace) none of which is default installed on SUSE 11.Does any one have a suggestion on which ?trace to install and use or is there something else out there better?

I read this morning that MicroSoft and Adobe Flash released a huge security update to counter the threat of malicious apps taking over systems. Included in the fix was Excel spreadsheets. Apparently a hacker could send a spreadsheet that if opened could remotely take over your machine. I opened my update manager and there was a sizable Open Office and Java update.
Question: Are Linux/Ubuntu machines susceptible to the security flaws?
Question: Since Adobe Flash is considered proprietary and not updated through the Ubuntu update manager, do I have to manually update that package?
I am using Centos 5.2, and I installed all of the available gnome and gnome development libraries available via the "add software" menu item. Still, when running some programs, I get the following error message:

My code needs to link to some libraries. In my project file, I specify linker to link to abc library, for example. By default, does gcc link to libabc.a or libabc.so ? What if I really need to specify static or shared, how do I do that?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have written a simple library and ended up with a .so file. I have a header file from writing the code that describes how to use the functions in the source code I have written. I think this .h files needs to be available to other programs that access this code.
I have seen lots of tutorials on how to copy the .so file to the relevant directories and make links with the version number. What I can't find is where to put the header file so that any programs I write to use my new library can access the header.
Hope this makes sense. For example, I might use <stdio.h> normally, I will need to access <mylibrary.h> once mylibrary.so is loaded (as far as I understand!)
It's weird, I've been using C compilers for embedded processors over ten years now and never given a second thought to how libraries and headers work behind the scenes!

2) I've set the environment variable.
3) I'm having trouble creating an executable to test my .so with
I've also contacted MATLAB tech support, and they didn't help much. They said the wrapper (libatr2.c) is intended to be a template, and may not actually run my library unless eddited. Perhaps I should edit it to reference something called main? I'm not sure how to do that if that's the case.

I have written a shared library and successfully used debhelper 9 to create a Debian package from source using a Makefile generated by cmake. I then went about writing a python wrapper to that library and wish to package that wrapper in with the library so I can have a single distributable rather than 2 separate ones.
All of my attempts so far have me placing my python source and a setup.py file in the same directory as the makefile at the time where I call debuild.
From here I have tried a couple different configurations to my debian/rules file as seen below:
Attempt 1:
# -*- makefile -*-
%:
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
This try seemed to package up the python stuff nicely but proceeded to ignore my makefile for the shared library and therefore ultimately failed.
Attempt 2:
# -*- makefile -*-
%:
dh $@ --with-python2
This try ran make, but completely ignored the python stuff. From some research I have gathered that the --buildsystem flag tells debuild to ignore any makefiles in the directory, which obviously causes a problem in my case.
Another attempt was to modify the build dependency to first run make and then call the python build process that file looked like this
Attempt 3:
# -*- makefile -*-
build:
dh $@
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
%:
dh $@ --with-python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
This appears to somewhat work as both processes do build, but a few of the python files are still not getting installed.
Is this the way I should be going about doing this? I've noticed that most python wrappers tend to package themselves individually and then make that package dependent on the library it is attempting to wrap.
I've decided to make the plunge and switch to linux! Actually, I plan to dualboot Win XP and Ubuntu 10.04. I figure I might as well keep XP for a few games and for syncing my iPod nano with iTunes.I want to set up my computer so that my music library on my windows partition will be accessible to Banshee (or perhaps another program) so that I can listen to my tunes in Linux. However, I want to make it so that Banshee can't actually edit my files/tags (I want to leave iTunes in charge of that). I just want it to be able to play the mp3s and aac's (none of my files are in DRM format luckily). So I guess what I am asking, is can I make my iTunes folder on the Windows partition READ-ONLY to the Linux OS maybe?

I'm trying to install Google Chrome on Slackware 13.1 (32 bit) and I have a little problem with shared libraries.The google-chrome applications looks for nss libraries with file names ending in apparently non-standard ways (for me and my system, at least): for example, it looks for libnns3.so.1d, but I have libnss3.so, so I created a symbolic link libnss3.so.1d -> libnss3.so. The problem now is that if I run google-chrome as my usual regular user I still get the missing library error, but if I run it as root I don't get the error anymore (well, it still complains about other libraries missing for the same naming reason, but anyway it's able to find the one I just renamed). The permissions seems fine to me:
