ilib_build

utility for shared library management

Syntax

ilib_build(lib_name,table,files,libs [,makename,ldflags,cflags,fflags,ismex, cc])

Arguments

lib_name

a character string, the generic name of the library without path and extension.

table

2 column string matrix giving the table of pairs 'scilab-name', 'interface name'

files

string matrix giving source files needed for shared library creation. Since Scilab 5.3.1, object files are deprecated.

libs

string matrix giving extra libraries needed for shared library creation

makename

character string. The path of the Makefile file without extension.

This parameter is useless since Scilab 5.0. Default value to use: [].

A warning will be displayed in Scilab 5.3 if you use another value that the default.

ldflags,cflags,fflags

character strings to provide options for the loader, the C compiler and the Fortran compiler.

ismex

Internal variable to specify if we are working with mex or not.

cc

Provide the name of the C compiler.

Description

This tool is used to create shared libraries and to generate a loader file which can be used to dynamically load the shared library into Scilab with addinter

Many examples are provided in SCI/modules/dynamic_link/examples directory. They are all released into the public domain.

Note that a compiler must be available on the system to use this function.

Languages handle by this function are: C, C++, Fortran and Fortran 90.

On the internal technical level, under GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, the ilib_* function are based on the autotools. First, a configure is executed to detect compilers available. Then, a make is launched with the provided arguments. For more information: Full technical description of the incremental link / dynamic link

Since version 6.0.1, under GNU/Linux, Scilab detects where the libstdc++ is located (thanks to the command gcc -print-search-dirs|awk -F= '$1=="libraries: "{print $2}'). Previously, the dynamic link was using the libstdc++ embedded in Scilab.
