This is driving me insane... I would like to provide a client with a .o file so that he can link static against my library. Unfortunatly I need to hide nearly all the symbols in my object file. For a shared object this works out super easy, all I do is generate the .so file, then run strip -N on each symbol I want to nuke. I'm having a hell of a time doing this so I can produce a static .o or .a with most of the symbols stripped. Two problems seem to be that even if I use "ld -r -o main.o obj1.o obj2.c libfoo.a" then I can not strip symbols in obj1.o that are referenced from obj2.o even after I combine the object files. Any hints? -- - Alfred Perlstein - Research Engineering Development Inc. - email: bright@mu.org cell: 408-480-4684
