In a shared library there are about 8 routines out over 100 that refer to libgsl and libpthread. A frequent situation may arise where an application program has no need for using the 8 procedures infected with other library needs.
At the current time, when I try to link such a program I get a failure unless I add all the references to the additional libraries---even though they are not employed by the program in any manner. Is there any reasonable way around this or do I have to either separate the 8 routines into another library or add the references to libgsl (+*blas) and pthread to Makefiles of programs that have no involvement with these library procedures? Am I missing a trick?
