In the last few months I have had to compile several very complex
applications which included multi-level library builds. That is,
libraries which included other libraries which included other libraries
etc. Each time I ended up with unresolved symbol errors.
Does anyone have a simple set of rules for building these types of
applications? For instance, if you begin with a static library, do all
libraries included in the build have to be static or can some be shared
and vice-versa?
I had previously believed that shared libaries were a better
option as they resulted in a smaller footprint and any application
compiled with these libraries did not have to be re-compiled if the
libraries were updated. However, now I am not so sure.
