In regard to: Build shared library with shared libraries and static...:
Hello,
I would like compile a shared library of PHP for loading it into apache on
the HP-UX os.
The problem is that i cannot because :
- one of the different libraries used by php for
compiling is c-client (imap) who is only
available as a static library.
- and libtool doesn't accept mixed static and shared library
the final result in this case is always a static library.
This situation occured on HP-UX but not on Linux.
My question are :
- Why it's not possible to mix libraries on HP-UX ?
I haven't had access to HP-UX for a couple years, but used it extensively
in the past. In my experience, it *is* possible. The static library must
contain all position independent code (PIC), though. Libtool likely
prevents it because there's no easy way to guarantee that requirement with
static libraries.
- Is there a way to resolve this situation ?
Manually build c-client as a shared library, or build c-client so that
all object files are compiled as PIC and then hack libtool so that the
checks for static libraries are skipped.
