[SOLVED c++] making a library ?
Author
hi all,
i am writing a simple graphical application (based on gtk+) and i have couple of classes handling data management and drawing data (e.g. points in XY coord system).i want to create a simple library from these classes so it can be used not only for this certain project.
i am wondering how can i do that ? it is supposed to be a linux library, (on windows i could manage to do smth with vs2008 but i am not very profound of linux) and any help will be greatly appreciated.
best,
y.

Here is what you do for a static library:
That should at least get you started.
- Compile all of your code to object files:
gcc -c file1.c
gcc -c file2.c
... - Create an archive containing all of the object code:
ar rcs libraryname.a file1.o file2.o ... - Create an index for the library:
ranlib libraryname.a - Link new code to your library:
gcc libraryname.a code_that_uses_lib.c
That should at least get you started.
You shouldn't need to use ranlib if you used rcs or -rcs.
IIRC the 's' parameter already builds the index.
That is unless you're using an old version of ar.

thx for the answers,
i've been away for some time and i just checked this tread again.
again thx for the help , and i see the this is the way to create a static library (or maybe i am wrong again). i will try that but i think it will work.
