Issues in building a shared library

[Arun]

Hello,
I am trying to build a shared library called "libjxx.so" using Visual
studio2008 V9.0. The module contains both C & fortran routines. I am
making the C-source as start up project and linking the F-source
against it. I am also linking couple of other libraries called
libm7.lib & libm8.lib. I am getting the following errors concerning
undefined references.

libjxx_F.lib(jmxx_cmd.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
half_initialise_ referenced in function jm45_init_
libjxx_F.lib(jmxx_cmd.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
half_get_error_msg_ referenced in function jm45_init_
libjxx_F.lib(jmxx_read.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external
symbol half_get_error_msg_
libjxx_F.lib(jmxx_write.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external
symbol half_get_error_msg_

These symbols are basically present in libm7.lib. I am sure i am
linking this library correctly with paths are in place in the
"Additional library directories" section. Also i am inputting the
additional directories in correct linking order ie., after the
concerned module. My suspicion is that i am linking a ".lib" which is
nothing but a static library to form a final shared library (.so).
Should libm7 be compiled as a shared module and then linked against
the sources of libjxx? I am not pretty sure on this.

Any ideas or suggestions in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Arun

You will get better answers in a Visual Studio news group.
(the microsoft.public.vc.* hierarchy perhaps)

Thanks mate.

Microsoft has shut down their server for the
microsoft.public.* hierarchy, so what you can
find in that hierarchy now is mostly spam in
many of the newsgroups. It may still be worth
checking if that applies to whatever newsgroup
you're interested in, though.
