Mike, first of all, thanks for the in depth response. That all
makes sense. The issue I'm having is this: having made sure the
two dependencies are available and building the
libxlsxio_reader.a from the source without errors, why would I
need to hunt down all the dependencies from that library to
include them in my program?
I figured that importing the header and passing libxlsxio_read.a
on the command line would be enough? Why would I have to search
for libcrypto, libminizip, libexpat, and more that I haven't even
figured out what library they are? I thought those dependencies
would already be linked into libxlsxio_read.a which is a
statically linked library.
I guess my noob is showing a lot. Again, thanks for your
assistance.
confuzzled!!!
