I have a top-level directory from which I want to share as common code with two different applications (a client and a server). I thought it would be quite easy to create a combined object file in the common directory and then link to it from each of the individual programs. While I don't have any problem compiling the larger common object file, I have having unresolved symbols (to shared libraries like glib and libmysql) when I try to link the two different programs to it. Here is how I am creating the common object file: gcc -c $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $(DEFS) *.c ld -r -o common_tools.o *.o And here is how I try to link against the common object file: gcc -c $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $(LIBS) $(NORMAL_DEFS) *.c ld -o myprogram *.o ../../common/common_tools.o I'm sure I'm missing something trivial but don't know what that is. Thank in advance to anyone who helps. -- Bryan <><
