Thanks for trying tcc.

What is the tcc version you are using? Usually the latest code lives on
the mob branch and with today's mob (bcc913) there is no problem with
-Wl,-soname,<something>:

$ touch x.c
$ tcc -c x.c 
$ tcc -shared -Wl,-soname,zzz.so -o zzz.so x.o 
# built ok

Thanks, I've tried but there are lot's of additional dependencies needed
for me to install i can't do right now.

However I'm pretty confident you are using a bit old tcc - please check
out mob or at least master.


Thanks,
Kirill


P.S. I'm listed as tcc owner only by accident -- I was the guy who
converted it to from cvs to git, but otherwise project mainer is
grishka, and there is tinycc-devel mailing list to which I cc'ed.

That said I'm also interested in tcc and contribute small bits
ocasionally :)
