Static linked programs

[oph]

What is necessary to link a program with -static option using DISLIN?

Regards,

OPH.

Hi,

to link a Dislin program completely static is not a good idea. Dislin
uses
the X11 library, which requires a lot of other libraries, and also an
OpenGL
library, where a static library makes no sense. What you can do is to
link
with the static Dislin library libdislin.a instead of the shareable
library libdislin.so.
For exanple:

gfortran t1.f90 /usr/local/dislin/libdislin.a -lXm -lXt -lX11 -
lGL

Additional, you can also link with the static OpenMotif library, since
OpenMotif
is not installed by default on other systems:

gfortran t1.f90 /usr/local/dislin/libdislin.a /usr/lib/libXm.a -
lXt -lX11 -lGL

Best regards,

Helmut

I agree. I am distributing a big program, and not all the users know
what to install to run it.

With an old version of Linux I can compile a static program, but the
new features of DISLIN are lost.

I see that is more simple to explain what must the user install
(DISLIN and libXm.so.3) that generate a static program.

Thank you.

or just link static with Dislin and libXm.a as I explained in my mail
before, so that the user don't have to install Dislin and OpenMotif.

Best regards,

Helmut

I also tried to compile Dislin program statically with (K)Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. I just want that the target machines do not need to have Dislin installed.

 gfortran -o map_f90 map_f90.f90 -I/usr/local/dislin/gf /usr/local/dislin/libdislin.a /usr/lib/libXm.a -lXt -lX11 -lGL

does not work. I get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL

BTW: Shared compiling with gf95link works perfectly. I tried to locate the missing libs:

$ locate libXt
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6.0.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6.1.0

$ locate libX11
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11-xcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11-xcb.so.1.0.0

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6.3.0

$ locate libGL

/usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libGL.so
/usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1
/usr/lib32/nvidia-current/libGL.so.295.40

I make symbolic links of

• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXt.so.6
• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6

with the suffix ".so" in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and /usr/lib/ directories. But it did not work. Furthermore I had no idea which GL-lib I have to use with Dislin.

Does anyone have an idea? Any comment is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Hani

PS: With former Ubuntus "gfortran -o map_f90 map_f90.f90 -I/usr/local/dislin/gf /usr/local/dislin/libdislin.a -lm -lXm -lXt" did the job but it does not work with current versions.

one solution is to pass the shareable Dislin library libdislin.so.10
with
your program.

you have to install the packages libx11-dev, libxt-dev and libgl1-mesa-
dev
to solve the linking problem. After installing libmotif-dev, the
command

gfortran -o map_f90 map_f90.f90 -I/usr/local/dislin/gf

/usr/local/dislin/libdislin.a -lXm -lXt -lX11 -lGL

was working for me. Linking with the static OpenMotif library libXm.a
requires some more X libraries I think.

Hi Helmut,

first of all, thank you for your prompt and competent help.

This is just a symbolic link to /usr/local/dislin/lib/dislin-10.2.so . I guess I have to copy this lib and rename it to the upper filename. And if I use the double precision lib I should do the same with /usr/local/dislin/lib/dislin_d-10.2.so.

Yes this did the job for me perfectly. As another positive  side effect it is then possible to start the 64-bit Dislin program by (double-)click from the GUI-filemanager.

Again, thanks for your assistance.

Kind regards, Hani

Yes, exactly. I've forgot to explain.
