Simple dylib/dll problems gcc

Hi guys,

I googled for how build a dylib/dll with gcc and found a few simple examples. I have a file with a single function in that just needs to be compiled to a dll so I can test out petite Schemes foreign function interface.



Should be easy right? However when trying to compile this I get an error about the symbol _main not being defined, understandable except that it should be compiling as a shared lib and shouldn't need main?

Could someone try compile this and maybe post the steps used from the command line?

Thanks guys its very appreciated,

Mark.

The first step is
gcc -c prog.c

This just compiles the file to produce prog.o

If you need other command line options to make the .o file suitable for a particular kind of library, then add those to the command line, but the -c option is key to stopping the linker from running, and complaining about the lack of main()
