I have a peculiar problem(NOT RELATED TO FREEBSD). Hope you will be able to help me nevertheless!. Our product has many shared libraries and we are required to provide a cobol front end to it (ie., API). But the cobol compiler(MFCOBOL) which our clients have does not link with shared libraries (Our platform is SunOS 4.1.x, running on sparc 20 [sun 4m]). Therefore my plan is to write a cobol stub library(static) which will load the required shared libs and after getting the fn. address call the function using fn. pointers. But the problem is dlopen,dlcose & dlsym, which are the required fns. to load, unload and get fn addresses in SunOS 4.1.x, are themselves present in a shared library!. Therefore I am still unable to resolve my problem. Do you know of any solutions to this problem?. Or, do you know of any public-domain software to help me out. If nothing else, can you tell me how I could load a shared library and resolve function addresses? Thanks in advance (PLEASE HELP) Ryan (ryan@genius.tisl.soft.net)
