Description

very few small changes in the build files only, make it possible to build Tango on linux with -fPIC and the GC set to GC_Use_Data_Dyld, such that it can be used in dynamically loaded libraries.

attached is a patch to 0.99.4 that does these changes. they would have to be integrated such that they can be selected as an option to the build-scripts.

actually, that didn't work. the GC needs another mode for determining the segments. new patch attached.

More problems: memory allocation works with the changed GC mode, but garbage collection crashes. I guess there are GC changes required that i don't know how to do. I can deliver a test-lib and app if required.

  • milestone changed from 0.99.6 to 0.99.7.

I'm pushing this off because I don't know enough about *nix dynamic libs to fix this without some research.
