For example I have two programs , test.cxx and client.cxx. I compile test.cxx to get a shared library. Now test.cxx has a function called callme() which is not declared but not defined. I could compile this to get the .so. However , on trying to compile , client.cxx with this .so, I get undefined reference to callme(). Note that client.cxx DOES NOT call the function callme(). Is there a way to go around this problem and get the linker to search for only those functions which are called ? I would be greatly indebted 2 U if U could suggest a way out. Thanking you in anticipation, Pradipto Kolay Design Engineer (Wipro GE Medical Systems) Pradipto.kolay@geind.ge.com Code : Test.cxx - #include char *printhello() { cout << "Hello world " << endl << flush; } void func() { callme(); } gcc -shared -embedded-relocs -o libTest.so test.o (Works fine) client.cxx - #include extern char *printhello(void ); main() { printhello(); } g++ -v client.cxx -L. -Bdynamic -lTest O/P : ./libTest.so: undefined reference to `callme' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status g++: file path prefix `dynamic' never used --
