Dear all,
I wish I knew better - howto use ld to craft an archive member, but I do
not. (Below was sent to openssl-dev, if it arrived, please ignore for
now - however, once I understand this AND if I figure out a "simple"
change, I shall submit a patch for future AIX builds.)
===
To be compatible with the standard AIX libraries I would like to learn
howto generate a single
".so" file that goes into the .a file.
FYI: AIX supports multiple versions of the ssl libraries using this
convention:
root@x093:[/data/prj/openssl/openssl-0.9.8.27]ar tv /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
| head
rwxr-xr-x 370769/647632 2192276 Nov 09 07:44 2009 libcrypto.so.0.9.8
michael@x054:[/data/prj/apache/httpd/test]ar tv /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
rwxrwxr-x 435159/781431 2965832 May 01 06:57 2014 libcrypto.so.1.0.0
rwxrwxr-x 435159/781431 2253655 May 01 06:58 2014 libcrypto.so.0.9.8
Members are, as expected, object modules
michael@x054:[/data/prj/apache/httpd/test]ar xv /usr/lib/libcrypto.a
x - libcrypto.so.1.0.0
x - libcrypto.so.0.9.8
michael@x054:[/data/prj/apache/httpd/test]file libcrypto*
libcrypto.so.0.9.8: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not
stripped
libcrypto.so.1.0.0: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module not
stripped
Unfortunately, the archive created by the tarball ./config and make are
individual .o named object modules.
Again, for compatibility I would like to have them contained in a .so

And applications expect the .so.$version as member name

I am going to look in the ./config for a "shared" versus "not-shared"
flag that I missed on my first attempt. All suggestions welcome!
Thanks for your assistance!
