Subject: The hazards of not playing with shared libraries
Date: 10 May 1993 20:25:21


I decided to compile my own copy of Taylor uucp and after it
was all done I noticed that the binaries were huge. cu alone
is 1010567 bytes, and the rest are equally as large. It seems
that Taylor uucp uses its own libraries and they are not
shared, since they all include these special libs, all the
programs are huge.

Thus the following Q. (Not in gcc's man page that I could
find).

1. How do I make the libraries created while building a
program shared libraries and make the program use them.

Explaination or where to RTFM would be nice.
