Hi guys,

I'm an experienced C++ programmer but new to the unix paradigm.

I've just set-up a cross-compile solution in windows using Eclipse and CodeSorcery so that I can code for a small ARM device that will be running a currently unknown distro of linux.

My question is, if I were to attempt to compile a project that had various prerequisite libraries, how would I go about including them in my project? (I'm new to the linux library system and eclipse). For example I'm unclear on if/how to statically link them, if they're dynamically linked, is it just that I need them to be present on the distro in question etc.

Sorry for being such a n00b!

Many thanks
