Dear all,
we can all the APIs provided by the GNU/Linux releases. These API's are
released under LGPL(like gtk,gnome,glibc,libavcodec,libavformath). That is
enough to make our program run.
It is not needed to make duplicate copy of these headers file in our source
code tree. We can use dynamic link option when the program is compiled. This
is according to my knowledge that ASF program can call LGPLed API
dynamically.
That is correct. The Apache HTTP Server and Apache Portable Runtime
projects are very good references. All you need to do is include
#include lgpl_foo.h statements in your source code for the lgpl api's
you need to use. When you build the project, the build system (make,
autoconf, etc) will find the lgpl_foo.h files (provided by the linux
distribution you are building on) and create the appropriate calls in
your binary to dynamically bind to the lgpl_foo.so files. There is no
reason you need to copy lgpl header files into the bluesky project. C
programming 101 :-)
