As far as I am concerned, a question about C++ linking is not off-topic in
this forum.

I already had a look at the forum you talk about and did not find any reply
=> that's why I am posting here.

Thanks to the person who can help me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am working under Solaris 2.8 and compiling/linking C++ code using
SUN Workshop 6.

I have to use a static lib provided by an external company.
The lib is installed in :

    /soft/external_company/lib/libfoo.a

I need to build a static lib "mylib.a" which need the "libfoo.a"
functionnalities. My link command is :

   CC -xar -o mylib.a myobj1.o myobj2.o -L/soft/external_company/lib
-Bstatic -lfoo

=> When I do "nm -A mylib.a", I can see that all the symbol defined in
"libfoo.a" are undefined in "mylib.a"

Removing the "-lfoo" link option gives the same result => it seems
that the provided static lib "libfoo.a" can not be linked to my
project.
(of course, if I try to link "mylib.a" to make an executable, I will
get all the undefined symbol errors)

If I try to make a shared library using the following command :

   CC -G -o mylib.so myobj1.o myobj2.o -L/soft/external_company/lib
-Bdynamic -lfoo

It works perfectly !
But that is not what I was asked to do.

Can anyone give me the right command line for statically linking
successfully ?

Thanks in advance.
