Equivalent to Polib

Progi1984 · Post by **Progi1984** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 11:20 am

Working on the reflexion to this project, I asked me what is the equivalent for Linux systems to polib.

C:\Program Files\PureBasic\Compilers>polib.exe
Pelles Library Manager, Version 3.00.1
Copyright (c) Pelle Orinius 1997-2005

Syntax:
POLIB [options] {files | @commandfile}

Options:
/DEF:filename           Build import library from module-definition file
/EXPLODE                Create object files for all members
/EXTRACT:member         Create object file for the given member
/LIST                   List all member names
/MACHINE:{ARM|IX86|X86} Set target machine type
/NOUND                  Don't add underscore
/OLDIMPLIB              Create import library in old format
/OUT:filename           Name the output file
/REMOVE:member          Remove the given member
/VERBOSE                Display more information

Thank you

IIRC "ar" is the linkingtool for purebasic libraries on linux.

Code: Select all

> ar
Usage: ar [emulation options] [-]{dmpqrstx}[abcfilNoPsSuvV] [member-name] [count] archive-file file...
       ar -M [<mri-script]
 commands:
  d            - delete file(s) from the archive
  m[ab]        - move file(s) in the archive
  p            - print file(s) found in the archive
  q[f]         - quick append file(s) to the archive
  r[ab][f][u]  - replace existing or insert new file(s) into the archive
  t            - display contents of archive
  x[o]         - extract file(s) from the archive
 command specific modifiers:
  [a]          - put file(s) after [member-name]
  [b]          - put file(s) before [member-name] (same as [i])
  [N]          - use instance [count] of name
  [f]          - truncate inserted file names
  [P]          - use full path names when matching
  [o]          - preserve original dates
  [u]          - only replace files that are newer than current archive contents
 generic modifiers:
  [c]          - do not warn if the library had to be created
  [s]          - create an archive index (cf. ranlib)
  [S]          - do not build a symbol table
  [v]          - be verbose
  [V]          - display the version number
  @<file>      - read options from <file>
 emulation options:
  No emulation specific options

Yep, thank you !

I'm just finding this same answer in walker's "Tailbite for Linux"'s sourcecode.
