SCons to make .so with .a

[xavjuan]

I'm trying to get SCons to make a shared library. One of the items going into the .so is a .a static lib.

I have a line like:
env_2.SharedLibrary('libstuff.so', Split("""stuff.cxx
mylib/libMine.a""")

And upon running get an error:
scons: *** Source file: mylib/libMine.a is static and is not compatible with shared target: libstuff.so

However, I know that a shared library can be made from the .a via command like.

g++ -m32 -shared -o libstuff.so stuff.o mylib/libMine.a

Any ideas on getting this to work are doing the run around the issue would be greatly appreciated.

First, all the objects in the static library have to be compiled with the PIC (position indepent code) option. Next, you probably need to extract all the .o files from the archive in order to link them into a shared library.
