I have wrote a code compiled as shared library on a Linux machine to define a set of classes and functions. All work fine without any problem. An user now likes to use this library under a MacOSX machine.
How to compile the code to generate a library that can be loaded by ROOT?
Hi,
I would go via ACLiC: Create a source file (say MyLib.C) that #includes all the sources of your library, add a pragma link line for each of your classes at the end of MyLib.C like so:
#ifdef __MAKECINT__
#pragma link C++ class MyClass+;
#endif
Then any user can build your library on any platform by simply running “.L MyLib.C+”, and it automatically comes with a dictionary.
Cheers, Axel.
Sorry for the delay. The problem that I have is a bit different. I have a custom Makefile building a valid shared library. I’m using this Makefile successfully under Linux but if a try to use it in a MacOSX environment I receive an error producing the shared library.
The final command that works under Linux, and fails on Mac OSX, is:
where in Linux:
which are the correct flags for OSX?
see example in $ROOTSYS/test/Makefile and look around line 253 (depending which version of macosx you use).

Sorry for delay in the answer, anyway I tried to use your suggestion but I failed. when I try to load the library I receive the following error message:

the flagslibrary I used to create the library are:
SOFLAGS = -dynamiclib -single_module -undefined dynamic_lookup
[/code]
It seems that you have a function declared in a header file but not implemented. I would need your code to investigate.
I strongly suggest to use ACLIC to load your code instead of building a shared lib and loading it, ie
gROOT->ProcessLine(".L mycode.C+");

Ok, I’ll check but I’m not the owner of the Mac and this will delay the answer.
Anyway what is surprising me is that the code (a bunch of c++ classes with their dictionaries) is correctly compiled and loaded ina Linux system. Are the ROOT compilation/linking flags under MacOSX as Linux?
Thanks, again.
Guido
Compilation flags are not identical. see
