Subject: Dynamic Linking under HP-UXFrom: "C. Derek Fields" <derek@gamekeeper.bellcore.com>Date: Thu, 08 Sep 94 14:14:07 -0400There are two important points. First, the python executable must belinked with the -E option to explicitly export all symbols. Thisworks with the vanilla interpreter, but I am not sure how friendly itwill be when I try to embed the interpreter in a larger application.It may be necessary to hand tune the exports using the -e option.Anyway, the additional flag to $(CC) is "-Wl,-E", which passes the -Eflag to the compiler. My link line (from an actual run) looks likethis:cc config.o -Wl,-E libModules.a ../Python/libPython.a ../Objects/libObjects.a ../Parser/libParser.a -lm -ldld -o python
Second, the dynamic module must be compiled with the +z option to makeit position independent and then linked into a shared library:ld -b -o <modName>module.sl <object list>The -b tells the linker to produce a shared library.
