gcc code::blocks shared library questions
c++, codeblocks, gcc, linker, shared-libraries
Solution
You can have more then one project in your workspace and set project dependencies, there are no custom makefiles needed.
The basic steps with Code::Blocks are the following:
- make sure your shared library project generates an import library (project properties->build targets)
- make the shared lib project a dependency of the project in question (project settings->project dependencies)
- link to the import library
- include your shared libraries headers in the relevant source files
Problem
I'm using code::blocks on a linux system with the gcc compiler, and I want to be able to use the shared library template to make a shared library with classes, then make another project that accesses that shared library(at compile time, not dynamically) and classes. I'm sure that code::blocks has simple way of doing this without making custom makefiles and manually setting link options, but I don't know how. How do I do this. Shared Library sl.h ``` class clsClass { public: static bool bolReturnTrue(char * chWhatever); }; ``` sl.cpp ``` bool clsClass::bolReturnTrue(char * chWhatever) { return true; } ``` Program Accessing Shared Library main.cpp ``` int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { bool Face = clsClass::bolReturnTrue(argv[0]); if(Face) { printf("True.\n"); } else { printf("False.\n"); } return 0; } ```
