Re: [Xen-devel] dynamic libraries

libxc requires code from libxutil. If you have both as .a, then when a

Dynamic linking solves this.
Additionally, if libfoo links to libxc.a(and libxutil.a), and libbar
also
links to libxc.a(and libxutil.a), then both libfoo and libbar will not
only
have duplicate code, but may have different incompatible versions of
it. This
is a recipe for disaster.
Dynamic linking is really the way to go.
Okay, well I shall change to -fPIC as the default and just not build
static libraries. Seems pointless having both static and dynamic.
