We are using shared libraries for our soft IOCs and don't need package
managers or containers. The trick is to make sure all the libraries are
installed along with the application and to set the RPATH accordingly.
Our setup is roughly as follows: in the place where IOC binaries are
built, we specify
LINKER_USE_RPATH=NO
USR_LDFLAGS += '-Wl,-rpath,../../bin/$(T_A)'
In addition we have a special SupportModulesApp directory that contains
only a Makefile with the following content (stripped to show only the
Linux stuff):
TOP=..
include $(TOP)/configure/CONFIG
MODULE_PATHS = $(SHRLIB_SEARCH_DIRS)
MODULE_LIBNAMES = $(notdir $(foreach dir,$(MODULE_PATHS),$(wildcard
$(dir)/lib*.a)))
MODULE_NAMES = $(MODULE_LIBNAMES:$(LIB_PREFIX)%.a=%)
MODULES_Linux = $(foreach dir,$(SHRLIB_SEARCH_DIRS),$(wildcard
$(dir)/lib*.so*))
BIN_INSTALLS_Linux = $(MODULES_Linux)
include $(TOP)/configure/RULES
SupportModulesApp must be built after all otehr *App. It copies all the
shared libraries from all support modules listed in configure/RELEASE
and stores them in the local bin directory, so that the IOC binaries
find them.
We have been using this scheme for quite some time now. It requires *no*
pre-installed libraries on the target host except the standard systenm
libraries (libc, libm, etc).
