Shared library support #7

Closed nwmcsween closed 4 years ago

nwmcsween commented 6 years ago

Issues:

Generation of symlinks for lib install (e.g. /lib/libfoo-1.5, /lib/libfoo-1.5.2, ...)
Tracking of dependencies
RUNPATH without having to chroot
Probably a few dozen more

statically-linked system

michaelforney commented 6 years ago

Yes, though it might still be desirable to support dynamic linking for a couple cases:

Interpreted language modules (python, lua, ...)
If I end up adding a ports-like system for heavier components, they might require dynamic linking (e.g. mesa).

But this is low-priority, so I'll just leave this open for now.

Now, the musl package provides a libc.so (if you select it for installation). This can be used to bootstrap external package systems like pkgsrc or nix. Dynamic languages with module support and heavy components that require dynamic linking can be installed that way.
