Hi There,
I am in the process of upgrading OpenLDAP client libraries to 2.3.17. I
have configured with --disable-slapd --disable-slurpd option.
When i run make command I am getting some liblber.la and libldap.la files,
but in the old version of OpenLDAP we were using liblber.a and libldap.a.
So my questions are what is this .la stands for ? and why I couldn't
build with our client application? When we build our client application
it is not recognising
liblber.la and libldap.la as valid library files.
".la" are files that contain linking information for the libraries.
".a" is a static library
".so" is a shared object library
Did you look in the .libs directory in your build tree to see if the
libraries were built?
