Suppose I have a file main.cpp
which uses sin()
function which is defined in libmath
. Also suppose that we have both libmath.a and libmath.so available in the same directory. Now if I issue the command g++ -o main main.cpp -lmath
the default behaviour of Linux is to link to the shared library libmath.so
. I want to know is there a way to force the program to link with the static library libmath.a
without deleting or moving the shared library?
You'll need to pass the -static to the linker, but only for particular libraries you want. e.g.:
g++ -o main main.cpp -Wl,-Bstatic -lmath -Wl,-Bdynamic
