dlopen()

[Altera_Forum]

Is there a way to build libdl? The java interpreter which I'm trying to build (jamvm) wants it. Normally this is a part of libc, but it doesn't seem to get build into microtronix uClibc. Do I have my LDFLAGS incorrect, or is there some way to build libdl.so? 

 Thanks.

As far as I know, the nios2 tool chain Altera provides does not support PIC. Therefore, shared libraries is not supported.

Actually, I discovered that there is a dlopen provided by the standard libraries. At least you can compile with it and when linking, you don't get problems with resolving it. I haven't tried to actually use a program which uses dlopen() yet, though.
