This is a bit odd, but I wanted to sanity check things w/ ya’ll. We have an interesting environment, where nearly everything is statically linked. We also have a fairly extensive set of code to compile, from base components & libraries all the way up to the final applications. Many of them have tiers of dependencies.
I’m trying to establish just what happens when you start reusing some of the binary artifacts, like .a’s & headers… (tar & store them, reuse later..) For this, let’s assume 3 components: Top, Middle, and openssl. Top depends on Middle & on openssl directly. Middle depends on openssl as well. Now, clearly this will all work great if you use the same version of openssl throughout.. The real question is what happens if you use a different version of openssl for compiling Middle than you do for Top. So… ya’ll? go! (I have my suspicions, but I’m curious what y’all will say.) Thanks!
