Hello all, I am having some difficulty setting up X windows in a Slackware system. Under Win95/98 my video card can handle 24bit resolution. However when I try to tell the xf86config in Linux utility that this is the res. that I wish to use, it reports errors when I enter 'startx'. Apparently i

As I indicated in my message to Lawson, "static" is a tricky term, with an assortment of context-dependent meanings. It is messy enough that you should take what I write next with a grain of salt, since it is easy to get mixed up here. Both .a and .so libraries get linked at runtime. .a linkin

Query regarding linking...

Hi Ray! What is the difference between the linking that gcc does i.e. to link many object files into an executable and the linking that ld does? Is it really that gcc is just to link object files together to an executable and ld is there to link object files to an shared library? Thank you, Axe
