[mercury-users] Debian package stuff

[William Lee Irwin III]

It looks like the shared runtime system libraries were built using
gcc --shared foobar.a in the Debian package, which failed to make
anything of use, at least in the Debian package. I could be off on
this, but on the other hand, I built my own versions of the runtime
system libraries using
	gcc --shared *.o -o libfoobar.so # with *.o taken from libfoobar.a
and managed to successfully link an executable which also worked.
Also of note is that there is a library sitting somewhere in /lib
or /usr/lib called libgc.so, so an
-Xlinker -rpath /usr/lib/mercury/lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu flag might be
in order to make sure that the right version of libgc.so is linked in.


Cheers,
Bill
