I would like to convert 'libcrypto.a' into a Shared Library.
So I extraced the objectsfiles into a directory and try to build
a new Shared Library.
But there ia a problem: (at least) two functions have the same name
'mit_des_cbc_encrypt` in f__cbc.o and in enc_dec.o
'mit_des_cbc_cksum` in f_cksum.o and in cksum.o
This problem is already fixed in the Beta 5 distribution. As it so
happens, we are currently working on getting full shared library support
into the Kerberos V5 distribution; the platforms which will likely have
shared library support first are Solaris, Alpha OSF/1, and Linux. (It's
really neat to see a kinit binary that's less than 20k under Solaris. :-)
The way we are adding shared library support into configure
scripts is such that it should be easily extensible to handle other
operating systems as well. (Although I should be careful saying that;
nearly every single operating system seems to have its own traps and
pitfalls in their shared library implementations.)
