Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Dick Dunbar (dickdunbar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: AIX shared library fix Initial Comment: By default, the ld command only looks for *.a archives to resolve library references. To recognize dynamic shared libaries (*.so), two flags need to be added to the Modules/ld_so_aix script: -brtl -bnortllib Line 170 in the script should read: CCOPT="$CCOPT -Wl,-bM:SRE -Wl,-T512 -Wl,-H512 -brtl -bnortllib -lm -o $objfile" -brtl ... says you want to include libtk8.4.so when searching for the library -ltk8.4 -bnortllib ... says you do not want the semantics of the AIX "run time linking" services ... just the search for the library. This resolves a problem when Python is built with tk support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2005-10-02 20:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I added a comment based on the above information. I don't want to make a real change, since I can't test it. If we get access to some AIX boxes, we could really fix. I'm hestitant to break stuff without testing. Checked in as: Modules/ld_so_aix 2.6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=941346&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
