Post by: harsha on September 04, 2007, 04:52:58 AM

I have a precompiled library called:

cts.a

does newlisp support importing of such libraries apart from

.so, .dll etc..

Hi,

NewLisp does not support such static libraries, as the call to import a library is 'dlopen' (Unix) or 'LoadLibrary' (Win32). The call 'dlopen' literally means 'Dynamic Library open'.

As far as I know there is no possibility at all to import static libs.

Regards

Peter

Perhaps you could link the .a object to a shared library this way:

Code Select Expand
cc cts.a -shared -o cts.so

or on Mac OSX

Code Select Expand
cc cts.a -bundle -o cts.dylib

and then use it
