demo-nopic is the one that will expose the limitation of the system: non-PIC objects may not be put in shared objects. We skip it correctly here, but we currently don't have a test that exposes the failure you reported, namely that we need to make sure that on these systems we do not try to link shared libs against static libs. > > > billie$ uname -a > > > SunOS billie 5.8 Generic_117350-24 sun4u sparc > > > > Unfortunately, I still don't know enough about Solaris to fix this right > > away without breaking other uses. > > Let me know if I can help in testing. You could write a simple test that exposes this error. This would be extremely helpful, as we fail this issue on other systems as well (linux/x86_64 for example). The test could go somewhere like this: compile a lib statically, install it (the test suite has some default dirs for temporary installs), then build a shared lib that tries to link against it. Then build an executable that need symbols from both that shared and that static lib. Patches are always welcome. :) Regards, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
