Howdy All!
I am the developer of netcdf, a free software tool for scientific data
storage.
I am using libtool 2.2 and am having a strange problem on an AIX
system.
When building a shared C library with gcc everything seems to
work. Here's the link:
libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libnetcdf2.a .libs
Howdy all!
What does it mean while I get the following response to ./libtool
--features
bash$ ./libtool --features
host: powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0
enable shared libraries
disable static libraries
Does this mean that static libraries will not be built on this
platform?
Yet my build is having the pr

Not on AIX. AIX differentiates between the notion of 'shared object'
and 'shared library'.
A shared object is a single object file that has the Shared object
SHROBJ flag in the XCOFF header. A shared object normally has a name of
the form name

No. There is an OS called AIX which can deliver shared libraries with
this extension. :-)

Not on AIX.
A .a file can be a shared library, a static library, or
some combination of the two.

I am the maintainer for a freeware scientific software library called
netcdf. There are C, Fortran, and C++ libraries.
When building shared libraries with older versions of the tools, I get
problems. gcc works fine, and I get a shared C library, but my fortran
and C++ programs seg faul
