Q) Okay, DXE2 modules are built. How can I use them?
- A) Usage of the dynamic modules requires three things:
- - include DMESADXE.H in one of the sources, so references inside
- dynamic modules will get resolved (or use `-include' directive).
- - link against import libraries (libI*.a) and LIBDL.A, which will do
- the dynamic linkage job for you
- - put the DXEs somewhere along the library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) or
- in the current directory
+ A) Build your export object file; then link it with your application.
For example:
- gcc -o OUT.exe -include dmesadxe.h IN.c -ligl -liglu -liglut -ldl
+ dxe2res -o dmesadxe.c gl.dxe glu.dxe glut.dxe
+ gcc -o dmesadxe.o dmesadxe.c
+ gcc -o OUT.exe dmesadxe.o IN.c -liglut -liglu -ligl -ldl
- Q) The application dies with "Abort!" due to unresolved symbols.
- A) This is bad! Extract the unresolved symbol list from this module. For
- example:
- dxe2gen --show-unres gl.dxe > u
- Check DMESADXE.H; the symbols in `u' must either be present here or be
- exported from another module that has to be loaded before your faulting
- one. Then recompile.
+ Q) What is that `dxe2res.exe' thing?
+ A) That is an utility that generates the export file for a given set of
