Linking static library on Ubuntu

[irit]

Hello,

I'm using the latest version of the library and can't figure out why I can't link to the compiled static library. I've built the library without any issues except for a couple warnings about glibc.

glibc warning

Code: Select all

warning: Using 'getpwuid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

and this is a partial output when I build my application linking against the library...

Code: Select all

Allegedly, there is a way to do get rid of the warnings but I haven't seen it.

Here's a couple of related resources:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/mess ... d=29269444
http://fixunix.com/unix/84269-questions ... nking.html

To add insult to injury, on some platforms (eg Fedora) anything SSL related cannot be built statically:

ok...

I've done a clean --shared library build now on an ubuntu box, everything seemed to go well when building the app too, it all linked. No when I run my app I get this.

Code: Select all

error while loading shared libraries: libPocoFoundation.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Do the same issues exist with the commercial product?

Thanks

Ok looks, like I needed to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH there for the shared scenario.

So is it best to stick with the shared library then?

If you do

Code: Select all

make install

you should not need LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See Shared Library Search Paths.

So is it best to stick with the shared library then?

That depends on your requirements and what the deployment environment looks like. Unless you must have static for some good reason, your life is likely to be easier with shared libraries.

Hi Alex,

Yeah, I'm making a little server application and just don't want the user to have to deal with the headache to make sure that poco is installed on their systems. My plan was to pre-build my app on some common OSs and just make it available for download. But I guess I can have them download a zip with the shared libraries and the app.

Just re-visiting this really quick... What about Ubuntu? That's my target OS.
