Re: Continuing Linux Porting issues

This appears to be doing lazy linking of symbols in the library, but at some point it just gives up and hangs in the mutex, I'm not sure why. I do know that initializing the classes in libapplication will require initializing many classes in the other libraries as well.


This sounds very much like a problem we identified. For us a work-around was to always build dylibs with -single_module.

It sounds like a lot of the problems Greg is having would be solved by using a modern (1.5.x) GNU libtool. Most of these things are automatically handled, including using -single_module and -bind_at_launch and such (at least, in most cases).

Might want to give that a shot, and it makes portability a lot easier.
