How do I compile libgimp and create .so file? - c

I am trying to create compile libgimp and generate .so file. What are the options I have?
gimptool-2.0 --build plugin.c
The above command just create executable. I would like to create .so file and need to use it in a Rust program.

Is it a prerequisite for a rust library you're trying to use? You should probably just install the libgimp2.0-dev package for your system.

For compile files using command prompt, you use g++ Hello.cpp after you do ./a.out to execute the file. Remember that when downloading the application, there should have been an option that was a link to the command prompt. only if you've selected that it would work.

How to Make Link File in Command Prompt Windows?

I want to make link File which in that link file there are more file. Example, I want to combine several library files into one to make it easier to compile. If on Linux, i use the command :
ar -c
How about in windows?
The Microsoft tool for managing static libraries is a called lib. It will
be provided with MS Visual C++ or a developer SDK. To build a static library mylibrary.lib
with it, run:
>lib mylibary.lib file0.obj file1.obj ... filen.obj
at the Developer command propmpt.
Here is the documentation
The file format of lib archives is the same as that of Unix ar archives.

Export C library to Windows dll

So I have source code written in C for the LibIdn2 library. I am looking to port it into C# but running in to some issues along the way and would appreciate some help.
Installed Cygwin along with Make and GCC G++ packages
Successfully able to run the./configure command on the source directory
After this, running the "make" command produces an .exe file.
I have been trying to get a .dll file created but cannot seem to do so using gcc compiler. The command I am running is:
gcc -shared -o idn2.dll src/idn2.c
but it complains that it cant find the header files referenced in the idn2.c source file.
I have checked that in the idn2.h file, dll_Export is defined.
Any ideas how should I proceed? I need to get a dll.

Compile a C project to DLL file in windows

I downloaded libnova library from here.
Following the README, I can create .a and .so libraries. But I need the .dll file for a Qt program on Windows. Can you tell me how to generate a .dll file ? I'm very familiar with Linux but a newbie regarding Windows.
Any reply is appreciated.
Use following command in console window:
g++ -shared -o example_dll.dll example_dll.o -W
note: GCC need to be installed before do this.
This Method is for Static Library here
Go and Refer here... this is for windows dynamic linking...
Thanks & Regards...

Linking a library built from source code to a program managed by autotools

I have a c program which needs a library named libnuma to be installed. But I dont have root access in the parallel machine in which I need to run this program. So I downloaded the source code of libnuma and compiled it. I have a libnuma.a file which i assume is the library. I need to link this library with the c program that I have. This program uses autotools for generating the configuration files and the makefile. I am new to autotools. Please tell me what I have to do to link this library without being root.
Ajay.
It should be sufficient to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. First, try:
$ ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/include
(where libnuma.a is /path/to/lib/libnuma.a and numa.h is /path/to/include/numa.h.
That is, specify the directories.) If that does not work, check config.log to see what went wrong. If the configure script for the program you are using was built with an old version of autoconf, you may need to do:
$ LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/include ./configure
instead. (The second invocation will only work in Bourne shells. With csh/tcsh, you will need to set the environment variables some other way, for example with env.) You also have the option of making those settings in the environment of your shell (eg, in a .bashrc) or in a config.site file.

How to create executable coff file from a C source

I am trying to do a simulate with Simcore Alpha/Functional Simulator and I need to create an image file but it is giving an error like "This is not Coff Executable" how can I create an Executable Coff file from a C source in linux?
In order to do this, you'll need a cross compiling gcc that is built to output COFF files. You may need to build gcc yourself if you can't find a pre-built one.
After you download gcc, you will need to configure it. The important option is --target; so if you want to target an Alpha architecture you would do:
configure --target=alpha-coff
I would also recommend you add a prefix to the binaries and install them into a different directory so you have no problems with the compiler interacting with the system compiler:
configure --target=alpha-coff --prefix=/opt/cross-gcc --program-prefix=coff-
(this will create coff-gcc in /opt/cross-gcc/bin, you can tweak those if want something different).
Linux executable format is called ELF.
COFF is a common file format for object modules, which are linked to make an ELF file or an EXE file
In your case if you have access to gcc, you can try
gcc mysource.c -o myprogram
