rce1d4c88 r03735e97 7 7 8 8 <chapter id="general-genlib"> 9 <?dbhtml filename="genlib.html"?> 10 <title>General Libraries</title> 11 12 <para>Libraries contain code which is often required by more than 13 one program. This has the advantage that each program doesn't need to 14 duplicate code (and risk introducing bugs), it just has to call 15 functions from the libraries installed on the system. The most obvious 16 example of a set of libraries is <application>Glibc</application> which is 17 installed during the <acronym>LFS</acronym> book. This contains all of 18 the <application>C</application> library functions which programs use.</para> 19 20 <para>There are two types of libraries: static and shared. Shared libraries 21 (usually <filename>libXXX.so</filename>) are loaded into memory from the shared 22 copy at runtime (hence the name). Static libraries (<filename>libXXX.a 23 </filename>) are actually linked into the program executable file itself, thus 24 making the program file larger. Quite often, you will find both static and 25 shared copies of the same library on your system.</para> 26 27 <para>Generally, you only need to install libraries when you are 28 installing software that needs the functionality they supply. In 29 the <acronym>BLFS</acronym> book, each package is presented with a list of 30 (known) dependencies. Thus, you can figure out which libraries you need to 31 have before installing that program. If you are installing something without 32 using <acronym>BLFS</acronym> instructions, usually the 33 <filename>README</filename> or <filename>INSTALL</filename> file will contain 34 details of the program's requirements.</para> 35 36 <para>There are certain libraries which nearly <emphasis>everyone</emphasis> 37 will need at some point. In this chapter we list these and some others and 38 explain why you may want to install them.</para> 39 40 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="pcre.xml"/> 41 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="popt.xml"/> 42 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="slang.xml"/> 43 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="fam.xml"/> 44 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libxml.xml"/> 45 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libxml2.xml"/> 46 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libxslt.xml"/> 47 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="gmp.xml"/> 48 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="gdbm.xml"/> 49 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="glib.xml"/> 50 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="glib2.xml"/> 51 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libidl.xml"/> 52 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libcroco.xml"/> 53 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libgsf.xml"/> 54 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libglade.xml"/> 55 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="expat.xml"/> 56 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libesmtp.xml"/> 57 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="aspell.xml"/> 58 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="ispell.xml"/> 59 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="slib.xml"/> 60 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="gwrap.xml"/> 61 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="lzo.xml"/> 62 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libpcap.xml"/> 63 <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" href="libusb.xml"/> 9 <?dbhtml filename="genlib.html"?> 10 11 <title>General Libraries</title> 12 13 <para>Libraries contain code which is often required by more than 14 one program.
