It seems to me that they are different names for the same thing, but I might be wrong.
3) My point is what the right way(s)---may not be the best way--- is to use them.
Can I ask in another way:
What is the best practice to use others library (static*.a and shared*.so) not installed system-wide in C programming? I may need to start a new thread before the topic is veered too far off.
Thank you so much for your time!
No, they are not at all the same thing. An archive is just that. A collection of object files that can be statically linked to your executable. Shared objects are dynamically linked at runtime. They are compiled with a flag that tells the compiler to generate position independent code. Here's what gcc docs have to say:
Since archives are statically linked to your your code, it is no longer dependent on the object. With shared objects you remain dependent on the library.
I have created symbolic links to several frequently used commands, for example:
"lt" is a link to "ls -ltrgo|tail". What can I do to make these links available system-wide, or at least in the directories my coworkers are in most of the time? I have copied the link to several directories, and... (6 Replies)

Hi,
I need to look for a config file (ldap.conf) and pick the latest modified file.
`locate` tells me there are many ldap.conf's, some in /etc, /usr, /home, etc.
Is there some way I can sort them by last modified time via bash?
I was thinking maybe I could pipe the output of `locate` to `ls... (4 Replies)

When looking for wherever a program or a filename appears in the system, a short scrip is "findinner" which another script calls with a long parameter list consisting of path names ending with ".sh" or ".menu". "findinner" looks like this:

xft-config
xft-config(1) General Commands Manual xft-config(1)NAME
xft-config - report Xft version, compiler, linker, and/or installation directory information
SYNOPSIS
xft-config { --exec-prefix[=local_prefix] | --prefix[=local_prefix] | --cflags | --libs } ...
xft-config --version
DESCRIPTION
xft-config reports information of interest to users and developers about the installed version of the X FreeType library, Xft(3). Depend-
ing on how it is invoked, xft-config reports the installed version of Xft, the compiler and linker flags that are required to successfully
compile and link C (or C-compatible) code that uses the library, and/or the directories used by the GNU Autotools to install its files.
Note that if the system's installed version of Xft came from an OS vendor or other third party, the actual location of its files may differ
from those reported by xft-config. The system adminstrator can also relocate Xft's files.
If invoked without any arguments, xft-config will print a usage message on standard error and exit.
OPTIONS --cflags
Report the compiler flags that are required to compile code that uses Xft symbols.
--exec-prefix[=local_prefix]
If specified without the parameter local_prefix, report the file specification prefix that Xft uses for installation of executable
files. If local_prefix is specified, it is used instead of the file specification prefix used for installation of executable files
by Xft and the value of the option argument specified with --prefix, if any, when compile and linker flags are reported (with
--cflags and --libs, respectively).
--libs Report the linker flags that are required to link code that uses Xft symbols.
--prefix[=local_prefix]
If specified without the parameter local_prefix, report the file specification prefix that Xft uses for installation of files. If
local_prefix is specified, it is used instead of the file specification prefix used for installation of files by Xft when compile
and linker flags are reported (with --cflags and --libs, respectively); also see --exec-prefix.
--version
Report the version of the Xft library installed on the system and exit.
OPERANDS
xft-config does not recognize any non-option arguments. At least one option must be specified.
EXIT STATUS
0 Information was successfully reported.
1 xft-config was invoked with invalid arguments, or no arguments at all.
