how to build a linux library

bujecas · 03-29-2006, 04:05 AM

Hello,

I have a linked list made in C and I want to include it in the Linux system libraries so that I can do something like "#include <linked_list.h>". I know that I have to put the .h in /usr/include but what about the .so lib? It's the same as the .o made by the Makefile? What I have to do?

Thanks.

Google is your friend.
The man pages too

Hope you know the difference between static and dynamic libraries...

Quote:

under linux,you can create both static and dynamic libraries.

use ar to create static library.see 'man ar',simple example:
ar cru libmylib.a listview.o
use gcc to create dynamic library.see 'man gcc',simple example:
gcc -shared -o libmylib.so.0.1 listview.o
