CMake supports building executables, libraries (e.g. libxyz, xyz.dll etc.), object file libraries and pseudo-targets (including aliases). CMake can produce object files that can be linked against by executable binaries/libraries, avoiding dynamic (run-time) linking and using static (compile-time) linking instead.
pkg-config is software development tool that queries information about libraries from a local, file-based database for the purpose of building a codebase that depends on them. . It allows for sharing a codebase in a cross-platform way by using host-specific library information that is stored outside of yet referenced by the codeba
Meson can automatically find and use external dependencies via pkg-config, CMake, and project-specific lookups, [14] but this only finds installed dependencies, which Meson can not do anything about. Alternatively, or as a fallback, a dependency can be provided as a subproject – a Meson project within another, either contained or as a ...
Auto-linking is a mechanism for automatically determining which libraries to link to while building a C, C++ or Obj-C program. It is activated by means of #pragma comment(lib, <name>) statements in the header files of the library, or @import <name>, depending on the compiler.
vcpkg provides access to C and C++ libraries to its supported platforms. The command-line utility is currently available on Windows, macOS and Linux. [2]vcpkg was first announced at CppCon 2016.
An illustration of the linking process. Object files and static libraries are assembled into a new library or executable. In computing, a linker or link editor is a computer system program that takes one or more object files (generated by a compiler or an assembler) and combines them into a single executable file, library file, or another "object" file.
libffi, originally developed by Anthony Green, was inspired by the Gencall library from Silicon Graphics.Gencall was developed by Gianni Mariani, then employed by SGI, for the purpose of allowing calls to functions by address and creating a call frame for the particular calling convention (MIPS O32).
A symbolic link contains a text string that is automatically interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory. This other file or directory is called the "target". The symbolic link is a second file that exists independently of its target. If a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected.
