Dear -hackers, I've traced the unsatisfied link error I get from the Swing demo's in the new JDK1.2.2 port to a missing __pure_virtual symbol. It is defined in /usr/lib/libgcc*.a. However, I suspect that I need a libgcc.so instead. How do I convert libgcc_pic.a into libgcc.so? After looking in the mailing list archives I tried: gcc -shared /usr/lib/libgcc_pic.a -o libgcc.so This yields a shared library that defines no symbols, however. What am I doing wrong? How do I convert a static library into a dynamic one? I then created my own libgcc.so from the source files of libgcc_pic.a, and that seems to work. Why is libgcc.so not created by default?
