| 11 | <title>General Libraries</title>

| 13 | <para>
|
|---|
| 14 | Libraries contain code which is often required by more than
|
|---|
| 15 | one program. This has the advantage that each program doesn't need to
|
|---|
| 16 | duplicate code (and risk introducing bugs), it just has to call
|
|---|
| 17 | functions from the libraries installed on the system. The most obvious
|
|---|
| 18 | example of a set of libraries is <application>Glibc</application> which is
|
|---|
| 19 | installed during the LFS book. This contains all of the
|
|---|
| 20 | <application>C</application> library functions which programs use.
|
|---|
| 21 | </para>
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <para>
|
|---|
| 24 | There are two types of libraries: static and shared. Shared libraries
|
|---|
| 25 | (usually <filename>libXXX.so</filename>) are loaded into memory from the
|
|---|
| 26 | shared copy at runtime (hence the name). Static libraries (<filename>
|
|---|
| 27 | libXXX.a</filename>) are actually linked into the program executable file
|
|---|
| 28 | itself, thus making the program file larger. Quite often, you will find
|
|---|
| 29 | both static and shared copies of the same library on your system.
|
|---|
| 30 | </para>
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | <para>
|
|---|
| 33 | Generally, you only need to install libraries when you are
|
|---|
| 34 | installing software that needs the functionality they supply. In
|
|---|
| 35 | the BLFS book, each package is presented with a list of (known)
|
|---|
| 36 | dependencies. Thus, you can figure out which libraries you need to have
|
|---|
| 37 | before installing that program. If you are installing something without
|
|---|
| 38 | using BLFS instructions, usually the <filename>README</filename> or
|
|---|
| 39 | <filename>INSTALL</filename> file will contain
|
|---|
| 40 | details of the program's requirements.
|
|---|
| 41 | </para>
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | <para>
|
|---|
| 44 | There are certain libraries which nearly <emphasis>everyone</emphasis> will
|
|---|
| 45 | need at some point. In this chapter these and some others are listed and
|
|---|
| 46 | it is explained why you may want to install them.
