accessing multiple user-defined libraries from one .so file

elbertj · March 3, 2011, 19:52

I have created a few user-defined libraries into "libmy.so" and would like to use them one at a time in application simpleFoam. Hence I refer to only "libmy.so" in the controlDict. What I notice is that only the latest built library is accessible.

Can I store more than one user library in a single .so file?

Thanks,
Elbert

To me it sounds like this: You have multiple folders with the Make/files specifying the same output file. Now naturally every time you run wmake libso, the linker will overwrite the last binary - it's what you told it to do. If you want to link all files into one library, you will have to write one Make/files for all of them, doing something like the following:

Code:

lib1/source1.C
lib1/source2.C
lib2/source2.C
[...]

LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/mylib

Thanks Anton! I am now able to store multiple user-defined libraries in one .so file and use them.
