But the real question is : if you are concerned with code bload, why using static lib at all ? Why not using shared library, which is exactly designed to solve what you are trying to do ? cheers, David
Yes, a good question. Two reasons I started off with the static library. One is that Gnu instructions claimed the dynamic library did not always build properly on the Mac OS X. So I just built the static GSL and figured if I got that to link up to my code, I could then spend some time trying the dynamic build. The other reason is that I am just learning this and I am probably backing into the "right" way to do this rather than starting right off with the right way. Maybe my worries about bloat and (even more) time to load are not important for the GSL and the code will load fast enough and not take up too much in resources to matter. Later today I will try to build the dynamic version of GSL and see what that yields. If I get it I will link to that as you suggest. Thanks, again. Your suggestions have moved me along nicely. -- Lou Pecora, my views are my own. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
