How to compile genode os code along with .so file from some other library

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hello
I want to do some modifications to genode code using a C library, I want to
compile Genode code along with a .so file from some third party library and
the corresponding .h file. I am using functions from that library in
vm_base.h in os sub-directory. Is there some simple way to directly change
the Makefile to include .so file or something similar?

Thanks
Abhishek

You will need to port the library i.e., compile it with the Genode code
base using the compiler that comes with the Genode architecture you are
interested in. It should not be very difficult in case of one library and
little dependencies. If you share some details it might be convenient for
others to comment more but I guess this is how we do it. The code will
break and you fix it. I am not very fluent with Genode as to whether how
much it is consistent with lets say standard C library that comes with
Linux runtime.

I hope this helps.
