problems creating library on unix-pc

[Thomas J. Pusateri]

	I was recently creating a library of the Numerical Recipes in C on
my AT&T 3b1. I may be asking too much but ar didn't seem to want to handle
this large of a library. I even striped the internal symbols out to make
the objects smaller with the following sequence when compiling each C file:

--------------------------------------------
libnrc.a:	$(OBJS)
	ar rv $@ $(OBJS)

.c.o:
	$(CC) -O $(CFLAGS) -c $<
	@ld -r -x $*.o
	@mv a.out $*.o
--------------------------------------------

	I would like to make this a shared library file if possible. Does
anyone know how to create your own shared libraries on the unix-pc? If I
could link it with the existing shared libaries as well, this might also
reduce the size. Is there a limit on the number of objects that ar can
handle?

Thanks for any info
