RE: how could make gcc link static library default?


Hi Terry,
        Normally dynamic is given more preference over static so this should work.

With Regards,

Thanks for sharing and sorry for interrupting. I am thinking another similar scenario: sometimes the foo3 exists in dynamic library, sometimes it exists in static library. Is it possible to let gcc search the dynamic one first and then search the static one if dynamic doesn't exist? Does command like below works?

gcc test.c -Wl,-Bdynamic -lfoo3 -Wl,-Bstatic -lfoo3 -o test

And if both dynamic one and static exist, is it possible to let gcc choose the dynamic one over the static one or choose the static one over the dynamic one? Thanks.

BR,
Terry
