I don't think using ld directly is a good idea. In that case you should to take care about libstdc++, libgcc at least. ------------------------------ Lev Assinovsky Quest Software, Inc.

(previously used the >Sun compiler) To create a shared library, I do something like: ld -G -o mylib.so obj1.o obj2.o For a static library, I do something like: ar cr mylib.a `lorder obj1.o obj2.o | tsort` You can replace the names with variables in a Makefile as you would with anything else. These lines are the ones that create the final library file. You, of course, have to compile your C++ files into object files as normal (i.e. g++ -c -o obj1.o obj1.cpp). Hope this helps.
