Let me explain: I have written a "C" function which contains calls to other functions, all of which work with an API to a mileage database product called PCMiler. These functions make connections to the PCMiler databae, do error checking on the origin and destination, get directions, etc. There is only one function loaded into postgres and it makes calls to everything else. I create a shared object library containing one object file: pcmiler.o and also containing a link to the PCMiler SO, libpcmsrv.so. Here is the make file code:
libpcmiler.so: utility/pcmiler.h logpro.h utility/pcmiler.c rm libpcmiler* -f gcc -Wall -fPIC $(APPINC) -DUNIX -c utility/pcmiler.c gcc -shared -W1,-soname,libpcmiler.so.1 $(PCMSRVLIB) -o libpcmiler.so.1.0 pcmiler.o ln -s libpcmiler.so.1.0 libpcmiler.so.1 ln -s libpcmiler.so.1 libpcmiler.so psql rnd < sqlfunc/loadCfuncs.sql The function loads into postgres and everything works flawlessly. Now, we have an X-Windows front end to this application which is a transportation app. Obviously, we need to do lots of mileage lookups. There are times when I need to make call to some of the functions residing in pcmiler.c bypassing the call to the postgres function. I thought I could simply link my pcmiler shared library with my app binary, but I get errors when I do that. Here they are: pcmiler.o(.text+0x8d): In function `PCMilerConnect': : undefined reference to `elog' pcmiler.o(.text+0x12a): In function `PCMGetMiles': : undefined reference to `elog' pcmiler.o(.text+0x166): In function `PCMGetMiles': : undefined reference to `elog' pcmiler.o(.text+0x3c3): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `pg_detoast_datum' pcmiler.o(.text+0x3d7): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `pg_detoast_datum' pcmiler.o(.text+0x3ff): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `CurrentMemoryContext' pcmiler.o(.text+0x406): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `MemoryContextAlloc' pcmiler.o(.text+0x423): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `CurrentMemoryContext' pcmiler.o(.text+0x42a): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `MemoryContextAlloc' pcmiler.o(.text+0x48a): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `elog' pcmiler.o(.text+0x4dc): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `pfree' pcmiler.o(.text+0x4ea): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `pfree' pcmiler.o(.text+0x51f): In function `psql_pcmgetmiles': : undefined reference to `Float8GetDatum' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [logpro] Error 1 All the complaints are regarding pgsql server functions. Obviously, I need to link with some sort of library, but I don't know which one. I'm already linking with libpq and I tried libepcg but that didn't work. I'm not very knowledgeable regarding some of these things so please excuse my ingorance. Can somebody give me a clue as to the error of my ways? Thanks... -- Quote: 6 "[G]un control often serves as a gateway to tyranny. Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control. Our Founders, having just expelled the British army, knew that the right to bear arms serves as the guardian of every other right. This is the principle so often ignored by both sides in the gun control debate. Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government." --Ron Paul Work: 1-336-372-6812 Cell: 1-336-363-4719 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
