Hi,

I'm trying to get the wirless plugin[1] for gkrellm[2] to work under
NetBSD 1.5.2.

After digging around with gdb the call to dlopen() on the plugin fails with
(as reported dy dlerror()):

Error: /usr/home/jasper/.gkrellm/plugins/wireless.so: Undefined PLT symbol
"gkrellm_draw_decal_text" (reloc type = 7, symnum = 31)

gkrellm_draw_decal_text is a function in gkrellm (and gkrellm is NOT
striped).

I guess i need to recompile either the plugin or gkrellm or both with some
magic option(s) that says the plugin can call functions in the 'parent'
process, but i have no idea what the options would be.

I've tried defining the symbols in the plugin using -defsym to the linker,
and getting the symbol addresses from gkrellm with nm.

It can now load the plugin, but when the plugin tries to call a function
in gkrellm it gets a SIGSEGV. - Do i need to add some fixed offset to the
function addresses returned by nm? Am i

I tried -R to the linker with the path to gkrellm, but it comes back with:

/usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm: could not read symbols: File format not recognized

file says it's:

/usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm: setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

(it's setgid kmem).

Any one have any clues?
