Compile all of your C++ source files to object file (file.o). Thenput
them in a library with
ar cr libraryfile.a file1.o file2.o
When you have a new file, say filenew.cpp, you can compile and link it
with
g++ filenew.cpp libraryfile.a
By the way, I dont know how to create shared library in Linux. this is
what i've heard about it, but i don't know if it works.
g++ -fPIC -c file1.cpp
g++ -fPIC -c file2.cpp
g++ -shared -o libshared.so file1.o
how can I put file2.o in libshared.so?
When I have a new file, is that right if I do
g++ newfile.cpp libshared.so?
Regards.

Subject: Creating static libraries using gcc
Hi
I have a large number of related C++ source files which I want to
combine
into a static library using gcc 2.95.3-5 with cygwin. Could anyone tell
me
which linker options I need to specify to accomplish this ? I have tried
to
link the object files using the -shared switch (although I suspect this
produces something similar to a Windows dll ?) and the object code links
cleanly.
However, when I try to build an executable which requires linking with
my
library I get the following error--
collect2:ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
Any help will be appreciated as I can't seem to find anything useful in
the
documentation yet.
Thanks
Scott
