Static Libraries on iPhone device
I have two projects, a Cocoa iPhone application and a static library which it uses. I've tested it successfully on the iPhone simulator, but when I try to deploy it to my iPhone device I get (symbol not found) link errors. If I remove the dependancy of the library the project builds/runs fine. I have made sure all the build settings a...
How to link a .DLL statically?
We have a (pure native C++) .DLL that is build by VS. As clients we have some native C++ applications and a .Net-Wrapper around this DLL written in C++/CLI.

Proper way to link against libraries from libraries for the iPhone/CocoaTouch
I'm writing a static library for the iPhone and I'm wondering if what I'm doing is recommended or if I should take a different approach. The static library I'm writing is dependant on libxml2. libxml2 has a dynamic library (dylib) and a static library (a). I've tried two approaches. Approach one - When I attempt to link against the s...
Why do I need an *.obj file when statically linking?
I'm not sure why is this. I'm distributing a static *.lib across multiple projects, but this static lib generates many *.obj files. Seems like I need to distribute also those *.obj files with the *.lib. Otherwise, I get this error: 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'nsglCore.obj' Why is this? Is there a way to inclu...
eliminating the inter-compiler incompatibility issue with C++ dynamic libraries
..., a follow up to this. From the answers I've been given to my referenced question I've learned that: different compilers use different name decoration, which makes it impossible to use a C++ dynamic library built with compiler A in a project built with compiler B, the library can be built as static saving me including n header and ...

C-library not linking using gcc/g++
I have a c-library which I use in gcc. The library has the extension .lib but is always linked as a static library. If i write a program which uses the library as c-code, everything as a-ok.

How does function-level linking deal with variables declared at file level?
As I understand function-level linking builds (explicitly or not) a graph of all possible calls and only includes the reachable functions' code into the produced binary. But how does it deal with variables declared at file level? Say I have MyClass GlobalVariable; static MyClass StaticGlobalVariable; in some file that contains only t...
Statically and dynamically linking the same library
I have a program that's statically linking to a library (libA.2.0.a) and also dynamically links to another library (libB.so). libB.so also dynamically links to an older version of libA (libA.1.0.so). Is this configuration possible? And if so, how does the system know to use the symbols from libA.2.0.a for my program and the symbols from...

Is there a way to determine which version of Visual Studio was used to compile a static library?
I have a collection of static libraries (.lib) files one of which may have been built with a different version of Visual Studio. This is causing the code generation of a project that links against all of them to fail. Is there any way to determine which version of Visual Studio was used to compile a static library? ...

Linking loadable plugins against symbols in the executable on Linux and Windows
It's very on the Mac to create a loadable plugin as a bundle and make it use symbols in the Host executable. How can this be done on Linux and Windows? I hear there's -rdynamic on Linux that may come in handy but I'm completely at a loss as far as Windows goes. The point is to move away from linking both the host and the plugin against...
