Compile Lua C Module with another 'external' library - c

gcc -fpic -c -o LuaLIB.o LuaLIB.c -lFOREIGNLIB -Wall
gcc -O -shared -lFOREIGNLIB -fpic -o LuaLIB.so LuaLIB.o -lFOREIGNLIB
This gives me:
lua5.3: error loading module 'LuaLIB' from file './LuaLIB.so':
libFOREIGNLIB.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
How can I use/include another library while compiling a C-module for Lua?

how do I build a static shared library(self-sustain) using musl?

For some reasons, I want to build a static shared library: a self sustain
library that without any external dependent library.
My build environment is alpine linux.
(I believe that gcc is /usr/bin/aarch64-alpine-linux-musl-gcc)
I build my shared library as follows:
gcc -fpic -c jpg_to_bmp.c -o jpg_to_bmp.o
ld -fpic -shared -static -lc -lstdc++ jpg_to_bmp.o FreeImage/Dist/libfreeimage.a -o libmy_img_static.so
gcc -I ./ -L ./ main.c -o main.o
However
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./main test.jpg test.bmp
dies with Segmentation fault
if I link the shared library without -static -lc -lstdc++
ld -fpic -shared -static -lc -lstdc++ jpg_to_bmp.o FreeImage/Dist/libfreeimage.a -o libmy_img_static.so
Everything works fine.
How do I build a static shared library(self-sustain) using musl ?
Did I miss any step or flag ?

GNU g++ -G option to create a shared library available on Solaris not on Linux

I am using GNU g++ 4.9.2 compiler both on Solaris and Linux.
On Solaris platform, to create a shared library from a source file (a.c), I use the following command:
g++ -G a.c -o a
a becomes a shared library
a.c contains the following code:
void libfn1()
{
}
If I try not to use -G option i.e. compile as:
g++ a.c -o a
It gets a linker error: Undefined Symbol main
But, on Linux, if I do the same thing: it says:
g++: error: unrecognized command line option -G
How to create a shared library on Linux? What is the g++ option for that?
The g++ documentation says this:
These additional options are available on System V Release 4 for
compatibility with other compilers on those systems:
-G Create a shared object. It is recommended that -symbolic or -shared be
used instead.
Normally you want to generate position independent code too, for a shared library, with the -fPIC flag.
So you'd want to run:
g++ -fPIC -shared a.c -o liba.so
The process to create a shared library on a Linux system is a bit different.
Shared libraries on Linux are .so (for "shared object") files, not .g.
You do it like this:
First, you need to generate position-independent code from your C++ source. That is so your library works from wherever it is called. To do that, you should use g++'s -fPIC flag.
So, for each source file you want to be included in your library, you should only compile it to position-independent code. We'll handle linking later.
For each source file:
g++ -c -fPIC file.cpp
(The -c flag tells g++ "compile, don't link").
for each file.cpp, g++ will generate file.o, an object file containing position-independent code.
To then build the object files into a shared library, you should use
g++ -o -shared myLibrary.so {all_object_files}
So if you have file1.o, file2.o and file3.o, the command would be:
g++ -shared -o myLibrary.so file1.o file2.o file3.o
Of course, if you have a lot of files this can get pretty tedious, so you should write a Makefile to automate this process for you! Here's an example:
myLibrary.so: file1.o file2.o file3.o
$(CXX) -shared $^ -o $#
file1.o file2.o file3.o : CXXFLAGS+=-fPIC

Cython and cross-compilation

I have a file test.pyx and a test.c generated by $ cython test.pyx. I want to create a shared object test.so with gcc so that I can import it into Python. Compilation for linux x86-64 with
gcc -Wall -fPIC -I /usr/include/python2.7 -shared -o test.so test.c
Terminates successfully.
I want to compile the same file to a .dll for windows with mingw32. However when I attempt to execute
i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -Wall -fPIC -I /usr/include/python2.7 -shared -o test.dll test.c
I get this error:
test.c:1: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent)
In file included from /usr/include/python2.7/Python.h:58,
from test.c:16:
/usr/include/python2.7/pyport.h:338:24: error: sys/select.h: No such file or directory
Am I doing something wrong?
You do this with it:
<your_compiler> <cython_generated_c_file> -o <your_outputfilename> -fPIE -lpython<python_version>
<cflags> <ldflags>
To get cflags:
python-config --cflags
For ldflags:
python-config --ldflags

How can I compile with shared library if I use Autotools

I have two C programs named drive.c and mylib.c.
drive.c is main module mylib.c is sub modulle that I want work as shared library .
I can compile them with following step and run.
gcc –fPIC –g –c –Wall mylib.c
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libmylib.so.1 -o /c/opt/lib/libmylib.so.1.0.1 mylib.o -lc
gcc -g -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -I./ -L/c/opt/lib -o drive.exe drive.c –l:libmylib.so.1
Now I want know is How can I compile them by autotools as same effect of above way ?
What and how do I have to edit configure.ac and Makefile.am for compile them?

Error compiling c using gcc on AIX

I'm trying to build a simple c application using gcc on aix
gcc -I. -c hello.c -o hello.o
gcc -o helloWorld hello.o -L helloHelper.so -ldl
I get the following errors
ld 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .PrintHello
PrintHello is a method in the library helloHelper.
I can build the application in windows.
The option -L is for indicating directories where to search for libraries. To link a dynamic library directly, just put it in the linker command:
gcc -o helloWorld hello.o helloHelper.so -ldl
Other option would be to use -lhelloHelper but then the library should be called libhelloHelper.so.
Try this:
gcc -o helloworld hello.o -L. -lhelloHelper -ldl
