On Solaris, I create a bunch of shared libraries using g++. One of the libraries used to be a C library that I 'converted' to ANSI C. It contains some global variables (I am not sure this is relevant but ...). Whenever I link that library with g++ -shared -o I get the following: g++ -g -shared -o libiSearch.so fields.o heap.o dia.o plurals.o se.o Text relocation remains referenced against symbol offset in file 0x560 se.o 0x55c se.o 0x558 se.o 0x554 se.o 0x564 se.o 0x568 se.o 0x548 se.o 0x544 se.o 0x540 se.o 0x53c se.o 0x56c se.o 0x570 se.o etc ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections When I link statically everything is OK. If I use ld -G the library gets created but my executables crash because it seems that a bunch of const String& variables defined in another library have not been initialized (they are null or bad references). I have been strugling with this for a couple of days and I am running out of ideas. Anyone who might know or might have experienced similar problems?
