Hi all,
Using Linux and g++, is it possible to create a shared object that statically links to Boost.Thread (1.33.1)?
I'm doing something like:
g++ -static -pthread -lboost_thread-gcc-mt -shared -o <name>.so <sourcefiles>
to create a shared object (it's a JNI library written in C++).
It compiles fine, but when I use it from Java I always getting an exception stating that libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1 cannot be found - but that's intentional, I haven't put /usr/local/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH because I don't want to dynamically link.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Please read the docs of the -static and -shared options -- they don't do what you seem to think. Then, read up on linker options -Bstatic and -Bshared (which can be passed on gcc command line as -Wl,-Bstatic and -Wl,-Bshared). - Volodya
