In looking through LDAP DSRK 5.21 for Solaris, it appears that static archive versions of most libraries are present with the exception of libssldap50. Given that our product supports ldaps://, I need to make calls to the SSL version of some APIs. In an effort to reduce symbol clashes and mismatched versions of ldap libraries, we are looking at linking against the static version of the ldap libraries.
its not a very good practice to link statically tho obviously if you want to its up to you, you have your reasons. the one thats missing is probably a bug in the build, install or pack script.
Is there a technological reason why a static archive version of this library is not built/part of the DSRK? If I get the source through CVS and modify the makefiles to build a static archive version of this library, am I going to run into some trouble?
you should be fine. there is no problem with having static version of that lib and in fact we have them internally. we are most likely to stop delivering static libs with future LDAP C SDK binaries tho. _______________________________________________ mozilla-directory mailing list mozilla-directory@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-directory
