Hi, I have a short question about Libraries in GCC.
I recognized that almost everywhere there is a libxyz.a AND libxyz.so or under Windows a libxyz.a AND xyz.dll. Whats the difference or for what are the *.a files and the *.so OR *.dll files used? Could it be true that the *.a files have to be comlield with the SAME compiler than the programm wich uses it but the *.so or *.dll don't. Or is it ture that the *.a files are only used at compile time? And then there are *.la files and stuff like that... weird... cheers, Raffaele -- Raffaele Sandrini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For encrypted Mail get my Public Key from "search.keyserver.net" ID: 0xEC4950E9
