<para>Libraries contain code which is often required by more than
|
|
|
|
|
one program. This has the advantage that each program doesn't need to
|
|
|
|
|
duplicate code (and risk introducing bugs), it just has to call
|
|
|
|
|
functions from the libraries installed on the system. The most obvious
|
2005-05-31 05:33:35 +08:00
|
|
|
example of a set of libraries is <application>Glibc</application> which is
|
|
|
|
|
installed during the LFS book. This contains all of the
|
2005-05-01 17:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
<application>C</application> library functions which programs use.</para>
|
2005-05-31 00:32:59 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2005-05-31 05:33:35 +08:00
|
|
|
<para>There are two types of libraries: static and shared. Shared libraries
|
2005-05-01 17:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
(usually <filename>libXXX.so</filename>) are loaded into memory from the shared
|
|
|
|
|
copy at runtime (hence the name). Static libraries (<filename>libXXX.a
|
2005-05-31 05:33:35 +08:00
|
|
|
</filename>) are actually linked into the program executable file itself, thus
|
|
|
|
|
making the program file larger. Quite often, you will find both static and
|
2005-05-01 17:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
shared copies of the same library on your system.</para>
|
2005-05-31 00:32:59 +08:00
|

2005-05-01 17:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
<para>Generally, you only need to install libraries when you are
|
|
|
|
|
installing software that needs the functionality they supply. In
|
2005-05-31 05:33:35 +08:00
|
|
|
the BLFS book, each package is presented with a list of
|
|
|
|
|
(known) dependencies. Thus, you can figure out which libraries you need to
|
|
|
|
|
have before installing that program. If you are installing something without
|
|
|
|
|
using BLFS instructions, usually the <filename>README</filename> or
|
|
|
|
|
<filename>INSTALL</filename> file will contain
|
2005-05-01 17:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
details of the program's requirements.</para>
|
2005-05-31 00:32:59 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>There are certain libraries which nearly <emphasis>everyone</emphasis>
|
2005-05-31 05:33:35 +08:00
|
|
|
will need at some point. In this chapter we list these and some others and
|
2005-05-01 17:51:42 +08:00
|
|
|
explain why you may want to install them.</para>
