Hi guys, I'm having a little trouble understanding which libgcc_s.so to use when building shared libraries with gcc. I've looked in the newsgroups but I'm still confused. I recently built gcc3.2.3 on a SunOS 5.8 machine and installed it in it's own directory tree (/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3). My understanding is that gcc is self-contained so it knows its libgcc_s.so is /usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/lib/libgcc_s.so. The default gcc for the machine is v3.0.1 and was installed in /usr/local. Its libgcc_s.so library is in /usr/local/lib. If I want to build a shared library, zlib for example, using gcc3.2.3, does it matter which libgcc_s.so I use? It seems as though I can use both -R/usr/local/lib and -R/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/lib and build successfully. Is one 'better' to use than the other? The shared library version numbers are the same ( that is, they're both libgcc_s.so.1), does that mean they are equivalent? I've always been a little confused about shared library versioning. Appreciate any help, thanks. Tim Morse
