Shared objects?

[JonTheBaller]

I have a shared object and its corresponding header file. I wrote some C code which will call on some of the functions implemented in the shared object. How do I tell the code which shared object to look in? I am using the gcc compiler btw.

> gcc test.c myobj.so

or something like that?

 

I ain't sayin' nothing.

Suddenly feels stupid and leaves thread.

Read the coursework. I don't know C, but it sounds simple.

 

[JonTheBaller]

Uhh this isn't for coursework.

are you asking how to use a shared object in C or how to compile the code using gcc?

It's been a while... but I think it's

gcc file.c -c file.o

to create an object... and use -l<libfile> to link against one.

I want to link against a pre-existing shared object, not create one. I'll try what you said, thanks!
