[cells-devel] [Fwd: Re: [spr28621] AllegroCL6.2 Trial user attempt to load his C++ shared library fails]

[Frank Goenninger]

Solved! Great support from Franz!

Simple cause - simple fix in the current state of Cello. But with ugly
consequences for a production environment.

Summary:

ACL identifies foreign files by their endings. A ".so" file is
recognized as a shared library - but most shared libs on Linux have a
version info behind the ".so". Example: "libc.so.6" ... As these are
different from file to file the recognition fails. 

Unfortunately it is not helpful to make a symbolic link that is named
just "libc.so" (to stay with the above example).

See below for details.

Regards,
  Frank

Frank Goenninger:

In Allegro CL 6.2 only files for which the file extension is an
element of the list which is the value of the unexported symbol
excl::*load-foreign-types* are recognized as foreign files.

(This behavior is likely to be improved in Allegro CL 7.0)

To make your file libftglint.so.1 recognizable to Allegro CL 6.2 as a
foreign file, you can push "1" onto the value of
excl::*load-foreign-types*, change the name of the file, or create a
symbolic link with extension .so and load that.

Please send any further email related to this problem report to
