building a shared lib using ipp static?

[alienpenguin]

Hi all, is it possible to create a shared lib that links statically with IPP 7.0?

i get the following error message: /usr/bin/ld: deps/lib/linux-ipp/libipps.a(ipps00423as.o):

relocation R_386_GOTOFF against undefined symbol `ippJumpIndexForMergedLibs' can not be used when making a shared object

Am i making a mistake or is it impossible?

thanks

Building a shared library with static IPP is definitely possible. That's how we use it as well. I don't think I can be of any help on the error itself though. You might do well to post some example code.

Hi Mark, unfortunately i have no idea on how to provide more feedback, my build script (that works when i link to with shared libs) fails with the error i posted earlier.

the libraries i am linking are:
libippcore.a libipps.a libippsc.a libimf.a libsvml.a libirc.a libiomp5.a (i tried also with libiomp5.so since i read in the release notes that is deprecated)
as i said when linking against the .so counterparts, the build goes just fine. All Ipp functions are called from the USC libspeech.a that i compiled from ipp-samples.

any ideas?

thanks

Did you check the sample code that illustrates how to make a custom shared library? See this link:

I'm not clear I understand what you mean by a "shared lib that links statically" -- Do you mean you want to create a shared library that will link statically with your application? (not really possible) Or do you just want to make a shared library from the static IPP libraries? (see the sample) I'm not clear on your objective...
