Hi I am using libtool in a makefile to create a shared library containing my application code, which also links to wxWidgets libraries. As a consequence of changing both platform (including gcc version) and wxWidgets packages, my makefile ceases to work. It seems that the libtool command is trying to make a static, rather than a shared library. I don't understand libtool well enough to fix the problem and would be grateful of some help. Although I have mentioned wxWidgets, I am inclined to think that it is more appropriate to ask help from the libtool community than the wxWidgets community.
Here is the failing command: libtool --mode=link g++ -shared -o libGUI.so <my object files> -rpath /usr/local/lib -rpath /usr/lib64 -pthread -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.8 -lwx_baseu_net-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8 -pthread -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 libtool: link: g++ -o libGUI.so <my object files> -pthread -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -pthread -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.8 -lwx_baseu_net-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8 /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so -lm /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so /usr/lib/libcairo.so /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so -lfontconfig /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so -lrt /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so -pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main' Now, on the previous (working) environment, libtool created a command that started with: g++ -shared -o /libGUI.so whereas the failing command (above) starts with: libtool: link: g++ -o libGUI.so I realise that the absence of '-shared' in the latter is probably causing my problem. Why is it not present please? Best regards David
