Hi,
i am using the 3.0 Release of FreeBSD. I want to link several
objectfiles and libraries toghter to runable program. Now i have the
problem that the FreeBSD libraries are in elf format and some libraries
(Accelerated X and OpenGL) are in the old format. The linker can't link
this libraries toghter. To look to the format of the libraries i use the
command objdump to do this. For the new FreeBSD libraries i get
elf32-i386, for the older ones i get "File format not recognized".
Without the format string it is impossible to link several libraries
with different objectformat with the -b flag of the linker toghter. Have
anybody a idea to link a program in this mixed mode? Which is the format
string for the old aout files? By the way i set the objformat variable
of the system to aout and make a make world to build a complete aout
system. Than everthing work fine, but i think it is better for the
future to work in this mixed mode to have all libraries of the system in
elf format and only the Accelerated X and OpenGl in the old aout format.
Thanks for help.


Bye

Andreas Strobel
