Creating libraries using jcompile

Hi,

We all know from jBASE4.1 the jBASE programs are compiled using jcompile.

Do any one know how to create library files using jcompile?

Lets say, I have 5 jBASE routines. I need to compile all the jBASE routines and to put them in a iibrary 'libMyLib.so'.

Hi Malai,

In 4.0 the command jbc is used to compile and jBuildSLib is used for creating libraries.

But from 4.1 jcompile is capable of doing both.

follow this

-->jcompile -c SUBROUTINE1.b
-->jcompile -c SUBROUTINE2.b

This will create object files SUBROUTINE1.o and SUBROUTINE2.o

-->jcompile -s libMyLib.so SUBROUTINE1.o SUBROUTINE2.o

This will create library files libMyLib.so and libMyLib.so.el.

If the no of routines are more, there may be some other option to do the same.

Lets find out.

Hi,

There's an alternate way for this if the no of routines are more.

here's the solution.

Instead of giving

--> jcompile -s libMyLib.so SUBROUTINE1.o SUBROUTINE2.o

we can give

--> jcompile -s libMyLib.so *.o

hi,

There's a slight correction in the jcompile method, which i've posted previosly.

the command
---> jcompile -s libMyLib.so *.o
will not execute in jbase prompt. but it works perfect in sh prompt.

$ jcompile -s libMyLib.so *.o

works fine.
