I have recently discovered that the Portland support that I sent
patches in for does not work for shared libraries (a LAM/MPI user
told me this -- not the Portland support group, which I find odd).
The issue is that when making shared libraries with --whole-archive,
the PGI linker needs one big argument
("-Wl,--whole-archive,foo.a,bar.a,baz.a") as opposed to a
space-sparated list ("-Wl,--whole-archive foo.a bar.a baz.a").
I'm trolling through the source code to figure out how to do this --
I see that $convenience is built up as a space separated list. I'm
trying to figure out the exact flow of things, but my first
impression is that it might be easiest to just parameterize on the
delimiter (" " or ",") in $convenience. Am I off base here?
Hi Jeff,
In a case such as this it would probably be best to set
whole_archive_flag_spec to the empty string. This will cause libtool to
unpack the static archive and add the objects to the link line. I'll
look
and send you a patch to try tonight (JST).
