|

93 | <para>
|
---|
94 | There are two ways to build <application>NcFTP</application>. The first
|
---|
95 | (and optimal) way builds most of the functionality as a shared library
|
---|
96 | and then builds and installs the program linked against this library.
|
---|
97 | The second method simply links all of the functionality into the binary
|
---|
98 | statically. This doesn't make the dynamic library available for linking
|
---|
99 | by other applications. You need to choose which method best suits you.
|
---|
100 | Note that the second method does <emphasis>not</emphasis> create an
|
---|
101 | entirely statically linked binary; only the <filename
|
---|
102 | class="libraryfile">libncftp</filename> parts are statically linked in,
|
---|
103 | in this case. Be aware that building and using the shared library is
|
---|
104 | covered by the Clarified Artistic License; however, developing
|
---|
105 | applications that utilize the shared library is subject to a different
|
---|
106 | license.
