16 | <title>General Libraries</title>
|
---|
17 |
|
---|
18 | <para>
|
---|
19 | Libraries contain code which is often required by more than
|
---|
20 | one program. This has the advantage that each program doesn't need to
|
---|
21 | duplicate code (and risk introducing bugs), it just has to call
|
---|
22 | functions from the libraries installed on the system. The most obvious
|
---|
23 | example of a set of libraries is <application>Glibc</application> which is
|
---|
24 | installed during the LFS book. This contains all of the
|
---|
25 | <application>C</application> library functions which programs use.
|
---|
26 | </para>
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | <para>
|
---|
29 | There are two types of libraries: static and shared. Shared libraries
|
---|
30 | (usually <filename>libXXX.so</filename>) are loaded into memory from the
|
---|
31 | shared copy at runtime (hence the name). Static libraries (<filename>
|
---|
32 | libXXX.a</filename>) are actually linked into the program executable file
|
---|
33 | itself, thus making the program file larger. Quite often, you will find
|
---|
34 | both static and shared copies of the same library on your system.
|
---|
35 | </para>
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | <para>
|
---|
38 | Generally, you only need to install libraries when you are
|
---|
39 | installing software that needs the functionality they supply. In
|
---|
40 | the BLFS book, each package is presented with a list of (known)
|
---|
41 | dependencies. Thus, you can figure out which libraries you need to have
|
---|
42 | before installing that program. If you are installing something without
|
---|
43 | using BLFS instructions, usually the <filename>README</filename> or
|
---|
44 | <filename>INSTALL</filename> file will contain
|
---|
45 | details of the program's requirements.
|
---|
46 | </para>
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | <para>
|
---|
49 | There are certain libraries which nearly <emphasis>everyone</emphasis> will
|
---|
50 | need at some point. In this chapter these and some others are listed and
|
---|
51 | it is explained why you may want to install them.
