-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've noticed that the Debian libpcap0 package comes with a shared object. tomoe-hotaru:# dpkg -L libpcap0 (...) /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.6.2 (...)
My question then, is this? How/where did the .so file come from? When I compiled libpcap 0.6.2 from source from www.tcpdump.org, all i got was a libpcap.a file. Since the program I'm working on is using the shared object, this made it slightly annoying when I moved the files over to my laptop (which is not using Debian, or really any existing distribution), as it only had the .a. Now, I can statically compile libpcap in, but i didn't want to do this. What I'm wondering, is how did Debian get the .so file, since there was no switches or rules in the makefile for creating it out-of-the-tarball? Any help would be appreciated. - -- Curtis Hogg [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ---------------------------------------------- The real reason psychology is hard is that psychologists are trying to do the impossible. - ---------------------------------------------- Email 1 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email 2 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW - [in transit] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBOxYI1LHXK8DxaQMZEQJYaACdGdbsCqY4AKlTMK0L4cz/4czXNUMAn3VF tJmO4lPFxpCFnU+/2Vrmawln =ZNBW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
