Thread: loading external modules for Mac version

Shang-Lin

Try setting the environment variable SACSOLIST to the location and
filename of libstp.so. For example
export SACSOLIST=/usr/local/sac/lib/libstp.so

A function named stp must reside in that shared library if you are using
the load stp command.

By the way, what versions are you using on Linux, Solaris and Mac ?
I would imagine the Mac version is new, but what about Linux and Solaris.

Hello,

I am working on an external module for the Mac version of SAC2000 that
will let users interact with another program through the SAC interface,
and I'm having trouble getting it to load. Because the version of gcc on
the Mac I used to test this doesn't support the --shared option, I used
this command to compile the module:
libtool -o libstp.so stp_read.o stp_int.o stp_int_sac.o

libstp.so was compiled without any errors, but I couldn't get SAC2000 to
load it. I entered
setenv SACSOLIST libstp.so
and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the directory containing libstp.so.
When I started SAC2000 and tried to load the module, I got the error
"ERROR 1028: External command does not exist:".

SAC> load stp
ERROR 1028: External command does not exist:
SAC>

Modules for Linux and Solaris, using the same source code, work
correctly. Is LD_LIBRARY_PATH the wrong environment variable on a Mac?
If you want to try out the module, its link is
http://www.data.scec.org/ftp/programs/stp/libstp.so.mac. It should be
saved as libstp.so instead of libstp.so.mac.

I was testing on OS X.

Thanks in advance!
