Re: [Gm2] building a shared object

[SiTex Graphics]

Hi Gaius,

Thanks for the FIO fix.

I sent a repro archive for a compile failure when trying to build a
shared object on April 23.  Did you receive that?

I'm still trying to figure out the general workflow for building a
shared object:

1.  How do I specify which symbols are exported?

2.  What command line options are required?  I've looked at the swig
example, but I don't know which steps are specific to swig and which
are required for any shared object.  E.g., do I always have to use
-fmakelist and -fuselist?

Thanks,
Scott
