Building a shared library with gnat

Building a shared library with gnat

[Frank Piron]

Hi,

i'm just trying to build a shared library
for use in non ada context with gnat 3.15p
on a sun sparc with solaris 5.8.

I followed the advice in the gnat user guide,
but the .so which came out contains many lazy
dependencies to gnat runtime.


How can i build a shared object which itself
is linked with a static gnat runtime.

Do i have to recbuild gnat runtime with -fPIC?

Regards,
Frank Piron

Yes, rebuilding gnat runtime with the -fPIC flag
and then linking together the archives libgnarl.a,
libgnat.a with the object files of the ada library
produces a standalone shared object.
