We have a problem... our XVT/XM applications, when linked with
our Motif libraries are just over ONE MEG (!!!) each.
We are on Sun-4 sparc machines. Is it possible to make these
libaries shared by compiling the source with "cc -bdynamic"
option? I am not primarily interested in saving memory
(although that would be nice), but in saving disk space.
I don't have the source, but will be happy to buy it if we can
solve our disk space problem. (anyone from OSF listening? :-)
If you don't have shared libraries, how do you handle these
big executables?
Please copy me by email if you follow up here, Our newsfeed
is occasionally "odd".
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

We've build Motif 1.0.3 (with some of our modifications) shared and have had no problems (Sparc with SunOS 4.0.3 and 4.1 and a set of very, very large Motif applications). -- Sivan Mahadevan Salomon Brothers Inc Bond Portfolio Analysis Analytical Applications Group One New York Plaza 44th Floor 212-747-5418 New York NY 10004 sivan@bpa_su10.sbi.com uunet!sbi.com!bpa_su10!sivan

Is the procedure for building shared libraries well documented? If not, can you provide some tips?
