[ooc-compiler] libgc - how to make dynamic?

[Alan F. <Ala...@gr...>]

Hi,

I have tried to make OOC dynamically load its garbage collector with no
luck.
The only way I can get it to work is to have gc.a statically linked into
the compiler
when I build it.  Can anyone offer some suggestions?

First, here is some background information.

I run RedHat linux versions 7.1 and 7.2, which have libtool installed on
them.
GC does not come with RedHat, nor is an rpm version available for it (to
the
best of my knowledge), so I built the GC from scratch and copied
libgc.so.0 into
the directory /usr/local/lib, which is in my path (it appears in
/etc/ld.so.conf).

When I remove /gc from my /oo2c directory, make the distribution clean,
and rerun configure, I get an error message stating that configure could
not
locate an installed libgc...  The only way I can build oo2c is leaving
/gc under
/oo2c, and when I do this the building of oo2c statically binds the
garbage
collector to it.  This is verified by executing ldd /usr/local/bin/oo2c
where
libgc.so.0 is found missing (the other dynamic links are present, when
compared
with Stewart Greenhill's output).
