Hello,
I cannot get ltdl to load plugins on AIX 6.1. I am compiling plugins
with -module -avoid-version. libtool generates a ".so" but then embeds
it inside a ".a" and it looks like it really wants me to use this ".a"
since the ".so" doesn't even get installed.
When lt_dlopen tries to open the plugins (tried dlopen with an extension
and dlopenext without extension), it fails saying "file not found". The
raw dlopen doesn't want to load the .a file because of a "bad magic number".
dlopen succeeds if I use "foo.a(foo.so)" as a file name instead of
"foo.a", and if I add RTLD_MEMBER to the flags. But I don't see any
reference to RTLD_MEMBER in libltdl, so I assume I am not building the
plugins correctly.
What should I do to properly build my plugin? I assume I need to .la to
point to a .so instead of a .a but I can't find how do that. FWIW,
things work fine on Linux and Solaris, at least.
Here's the (dummy) plugin compile lines:
