Can't set up my shared cygwin lib project [message #119813] Tue, 07 September 2004 15:42 Go to next message

Hi,

usally I create my own working shared Cygwin-Lib "MyLib" by calling the
following command line:

---
$ g++ -shared -Wl,--out-implib=libMyLib.dll.a -o cygMyLib.dll ABC.o
DEF.o GHI.o JKL.o -Wl,--export-all-symbols /lib/libNeededLib.dll.a
---

Now I am trying to integrate the making of my lib into an eclipse3.0/CDT
2.0 project.

The first thing I do, is to call the C/C++ Build properties of my
project. Then I enter my build output "cygMyLib.dll" (Active
Configuration/Manage...).

After that I set the shared flag in the "Shared Library Settings"
section. "Shared object name" gets the value "libMyLib.so", "Import
Library name" gets "libMyLib.dll.a".

Finally, I set linker flags (found in Miscellaneous) to
"-Wl,--export-all-symbols /lib/libNeededLib.dll.a".

The problem is, that my managed makefile looks like this:

---
cygMyLib.dll: $(OBJS)
@echo 'Building target: $@'
null null $@ $(OBJS) $(USER_OBJS) $(LIBS)
@echo 'Finished building: $@'
---

After building, an error is reported:

---
....
make: null: Command not found
....
---

Shouldn't there be "g++" instead of "null null"? Are my settings wrong
for shared cygwin lib? If only there was a tutorial about such a project...

Hi Patrick,
First-off, you can ignore the shared object setting for a Windows DLL.
It is not relevant for non-Elf binaries.

I am guessing that you started with an executable project and set about
flipping the settings manually. The problem with that approach is that
the executable target doesn't have a linker that understands how to
build something with a DLL extension. You should probably start with a
"Shared Library (Gnu on Windows)" project.

Hope this helps,

Sean
