I am trying to build a shared object for gstreamer. I have a static library that I need to link into it.
I have tried many things, but no matter what libtool discards my shared library.
I tried:
-Wl,--whole-archive ${EZSDK}/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/lib/cmem.a470MV -Wl,--no-whole-archive
But libtool simply removes it and shows
-Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--no-whole-archive
I tried to add it to mylib_la_LIBADD=$(EZSDK)/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/lib/cmem.a470MV but that also did not work. The libtool echo shows the cmem.a470MV but when it executes the link, the archive is gone.
Could anyone offer any suggestions?
I solved this by giving libtool the finger and specifying
-Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,${EZSDK}/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/lib/cmem.a470MV -Wl,--no-whole-archive
Alternatively, you can:
-Wl,--whole-archive,${EZSDK}/linux-devkit/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/ti/sdo/linuxutils/cmem/lib/cmem.a470M,--no-whole-archive
