Why a shared version is needed

Trying to make a library and get this error :

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lming32.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
*** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
*** or is declared to -dlopen it.

Followed by some wierd errors, such as

... undefined reference to '_imp___ctype_' ...

Can anyone tell me why a shared version is needed? Has something to do with inter-library dependencies? And the most important thing, what should I do?

THANKS

You need the lming32 library. What environment are you in, Windows? MinGW is only a windows thing. I don't think there is a unix version....

Shared memory for shared library

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability. Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)
