I had the same problem. I wanted to add the file gl.o to the
shared library ( libforms.so.0.87) given the files libforms.so.0.87,
libforms.a, and gl.o. Notice that I did not had all the *.o files, so I
could not use
the command used in the mkconfig.h file.
by suggestion of Dr. Zhao I try the following command
ld -shared -soname libforms.so.0.87 -o libforms.so.0.87 libforms.a gl.o
but still it didn't work, it seems that the problem is when it tries to
link a static library with a shared library.
I still haven't found the solution, in the mean time i'm linking
statically with the gl.o file.
cheers
