RE: [ILUG-BOM] linking a single library file in GCC

by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Infra, Energy)

>I want to test it in Linux now. And in the Linux version of >the library, there are two files, 'dislin-9.0.a' and >'dislin-9.0.so' - which library file am I supposed to link >to? And how do link to a single file, from the command line? AFAIK (and I don't know that much.. Please flame me if I'm wrong) .a = static library - inserted into your binary .so = shared lib - called by your binary for linking i think gcc has a switch. the command line help should do Gishu

linking a single library file in GCC

by rohit bhute

This involves the Dislin library I mentioned in an earlier mail. I used it earlier in Dev-C++ using Mingw. In that case case, I simply added the file 'dismgc.a' in the Linker parameters window. I want to test it in Linux now. And in the Linux version of the library, there are two files, 'dislin-9.0.a' and 'dislin-9.0.so' - which library file am I supposed to link to? And how do link to a single file, from the command line? Both the library files, the header file and the source file are in the same directory. I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, it has GCC 4.0.2. -- Rohit V.

New domain name: glug-bom.org

by Anurag

Hello, Our current domain name ``ilug-bom.org.in'' expires on <28-Feb-2006>, and will not be renued this time around, due to administrative problems with registration of .IN domain names. A new domain called ``glug-bom.org'' has been registered, and will point to the same services with effect from this sunday. However, till the ``ilug-bom.org.in'' domain expires, both domains will continue to function. It is a good idea to update your address books, email filters and bookmarks now, so that the transitiion will be smooth. Anurag -- __ __ gnu /noo/ n. Ox like antelope; (abbr.) /gnoo/ n.

Tata indicom wi-fi service - does it work on Linux?

by TAC Forums

Hey Guys I'm hearing about Tata Indicom's new Wi-Fi service. They provide a PCMCIA Wi-Fi CDMA card that allows you to make calls and be connected to the Internet 24x7 from anywhere. They say it supports Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000 and XP. Anyone tried it on Linux yet? Any inputs / feedback on the same, please let us know. Thanks -- TAC Support Team

Ubuntu 5.10 Nvidia driver install problem

by आनंद (Anand M R)

Has anyone faced a problem with installing the Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 5.10 I have an Intel 815 mobo (integrated graphics), but I'm using the AGP slot with GeForce 2 MX 400. When i try to install the driver using "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" (as in ubuntuguide.org) everything installs ...but then when i restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace) or restart the comp ... the machine reboots at the point when x is trying to come up. So then i tried installing the official nvidia drivers. Since it didnt have precompiled module for the kernel (i'm using the one that came with 5.10) it build it (i downloaded gcc 3.4 for that and kernel headers), but the same thing happens again. Every time it tries to start x it reboots. I could do with some help here. Anand.

Evolution - mail disappeared

by Sanket Medhi

I recently decided using Evolution Mail. I downloaded all my mail (over 2k messages) from my GMail account and marked then Read. All the messages disappeared immediately. However, a day later when I tried to search for a mail I figured out there is no way to view the Read messages. I can see that the downloaded messages are still there in my Inbox, but I just can't view them. Evolution users, plese help me out with this. Thanks! -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.
