Re: How to make an .so file for Linux binaries

Quoting Garrett Cooper <youshi10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (from Wed, 03 Jan 2007 12:42:38 -0800):

Trying to add Flashplayer 9 functionality to FreeBSD (via the
Linux binary and www/linux-pluginwrapper) and I was wondering how I
should go about determining which symbols need to be used in the .so
file, and also how I should go about including the files (#include for
the C files, `cat`, etc?).

You should see complaints about missing symbols when you start the browser on the console and the output is not redirected to /dev/null (this may be done in a shell wrapper of the browser, you should check). You can also use "nm" to have a look at missing symbols in the .so.

Regarding the last part of your question... have a look at what the linux-pluginwrapper does.

Note: linux-pluginwrapper will not work on 7-current because of symbol versioning.

Bye,
Alexander.
