|

47 |
|
---|
48 | <para>There are two ways to build <application>Nc<acronym>FTP</acronym></application>. The first
|
---|
49 | (and optimal) way builds most of the functionality as a shared library and
|
---|
50 | then builds and installs the program linked against this library. The second
|
---|
51 | method simply links all of the functionality into the binary statically. This
|
---|
52 | doesn't make the dynamic library available for linking by other
|
---|
53 | applications. You need to choose which method best suits you. Note
|
---|
54 | that the second method does <emphasis>not</emphasis> create an entirely
|
---|
55 | statically linked binary; only the <filename class="libraryfile">libncftp</filename> parts are
|
---|
56 | statically linked in, in this case. Be aware that building and using the shared
|
---|
57 | library is covered by the Clarified Artistic License; however, developing
|
---|
58 | applications that utilize the shared library is subject to a different license.
