Hi mentors, I recently adopted camediaplay, which uses non-FHS lock files for serial devices; I decided to do it right by installing liblockdev1 and liblockdev1-dev and patching the source to use them.
It works fine, but the liblockdev1 functions get linked statically to camediaplay, rather than dynamically (shared), and I don't know how to change the gcc invocations (or something else) to force it to use the shared library. After reading the gcc howto, and some experimenting, I discovered that if I move /usr/lib/liblockdev1.a out of the way, the functions get linked shared (unresolved) as desired, but that's certainly not the correct way to force it to do what I want. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. ... make[1]: Entering directory `/var/home/david/debian-packages/camediaplay/camediaplay-20010211/build' cc -c -O -I. -I./../include -DHAVE_LIBLOCKDEV -c ./../src/main.c cc -c -O -I. -I./../include -DHAVE_LIBLOCKDEV -c ./../src/uucplock.c cc -o camediaplay main.o uucplock.o -llockdev make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/home/david/debian-packages/camediaplay/camediaplay-20010211/build' touch build-stamp
