Dear EPICS:


I want to link an IOC against an .so supplied by a vendor. The compile seems to only look for .a type libraries.
Also I notice that on linking, -Bstatic is turned on. (I am using linux).
I have epics base CONFIG_SITE file set to:
SHARED_LIBRARIES=YES

#  Build client objects statically ?
#        must be either YES or NO
#
STATIC_BUILD=NO

This seems like it should work.

How do I get rid of the -Bstatuc on my link, so it will look for .so files on link?

Here is the failing command:

/usr/bin/g++ -o pcoApp -Wl,-Bstatic -L/local/pco/EPICS/base-3.14.12.5/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/areaDetector/ADCameralink/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/areaDetector/ADCore/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/areaDetector/ADPCO/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/asyn4-26/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/autosave-4-7/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/busy-1-3/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/calc-2-8/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/caputRecorder-1-4-2/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/seq-2-2-3/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/sscan-2-6-6/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/local/pco/hdf/lib -L/local/pco/sisw/lib64 -L/local/pco/szip/lib -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/base-3.14.12.5/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/areaDetector/ADCameralink/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/areaDetector/ADCore/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/areaDetector/ADPCO/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/asyn4-26/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/autosave-4-7/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/busy-1-3/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/calc-2-8/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/caputRecorder-1-4-2/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/seq-2-2-3/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/EPICS/synApps_5_5/support/sscan-2-6-6/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/hdf/lib -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/sisw/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/local/pco/szip/lib        -m64                pcoApp_registerRecordDeviceDriver.o pcoAppMain.o   -lpco -lcameralink -lcaputRecorder -lclsersis -lNDPlugin -lADBase -lnetCDF -lNeXus -lcalc -lbusy -lsscan -lautosave -lasyn -lseq -lpv -lrecIoc -lsoftDevIoc -lmiscIoc -lrsrvIoc -ldbtoolsIoc -lasIoc -ldbIoc -lregistryIoc -ldbStaticIoc -lca -lCom -lhdf5 -lsz -Wl,-Bdynamic -ltiff -ljpeg -lxml2 -lz -lpthread   -lreadline -lm -lrt -ldl -lgcc
