Hi all, I've recently decided to try to hook up the wxWidgets GUI library with parrot and Pugs. I haven't dabbled much with parrot yet so I consider this a good way to learn more :-).
Right at the start, I ran into a curious problem loading the Wx libraries with loadlib. (I'm on Mac OS X 10.4, by the way). After trying different versions, I finally compiled Wx into one big dynamic library called libwx_macu-2.6.0.2.0.dylib. However, I could only link to it when I renamed/symlinked it to libwx.dylib or libwx_macu.dylib. Otherwise, I get error messages like "Couldn't load 'libwx_macu-2.6': unknown reason" (and doing a "typeof" on the PMC var reveals that it is indeed undef). It seems loadlib fails as soon as the library name contains a number. Is this normal/desired behaviour? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm not very experienced with linking on Unix systems. In fact, my questions are gonna get worse right now :-): How do I find the right symbol name for a function? For example, the void wxBell(void) function can be found in the library as __Z6wxBellv (found using otool -vT /usr/lib/libwx.dylib), but I guess on Windows it bould be something like _wxBellA. And of course it gets harder in the case of overloaded methods/constructors/destructors with different parameter signatures. So how would I go about finding the symbol I need (short of compiling a small C++ program and find out which symbols it imports...)?
