I bought an expensive new program called IDL (Interactive
Data Language)

In order to link to a C function, for SunOS 4.1.3 using the
Sun compiler, the sequence is:

% cc -pic -fsingle -c example.c

% ld -o example.so -assert pure-text example.o

This results in a shared object that can be accessed by IDL.


-------------------------
cc options mean:

-pic generates position-independent code
-fsingle prevents default promotion of single precision to 
	double precision.
-assert pure-text guaranttes that the resulting load has no 
	relocation items in its text.
-------------------------

So:  What are the equivalent options for GNU C?  The man page was not
much help.


Believe it or not, the commercial vendor says it has never
had this question before.

Help!  Don't make me program in K&R C again! Especially with all
that developed code.  Please!


Thanks,
