Help in compiling/linking a DEVICE DRIVER in SOLARIS10 x86
hello!
PROBLEM:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i need assistance in compiling/linking a video capture
driver (bt848x) (http://bt848x.sourceforge.net/) for
solaris 10 x86.
the driver uses the /usr/lib/libc.a (specifically the _xtoll.o)
which, if im not mistaken, is not available in solaris 10
anymore. so how am i going to compile it?
BACKGROUND:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the original compile/link code in the makefile is:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x -r bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o _xtoll.o
i modified it to:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o -L/usr/lib -lc
(NOTE: i removed the -r and _xtoll.o; and added
-L/usr/lib -lc)
the output was:

QUESTIONS:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1.) What other libraries do i need to include so that
there would no more "symbol referencing errors" ?
2.) Is my linking code correct?
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o -L/usr/lib -lc
i mean, is it ok to build a driver with dynamic libraries?
or the device driver should always be statically linked?
