Compiling libmagic statically (c/c++ file type detection)?

This is tricky, I suppose you could do it this way... by the way, I have downloaded the libmagic source and looking at it...

I can tell you how to compile a library in statically - you simply pass the path to the . A file on the end of your g++ command - . A files are just archives of compiled objects (.o).

Using "ldd fileTypeTest" will show you the dynamically linked libraries - ${libdir}/libmagic.so shouldn't be in it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
