.la files in SDK

Post by Raziel »

Hi there,

i have a general question regarding those .la files that are scattered within the SDK install directories.
# libsupc++.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by libtool (GNU libtool 1.3134 2009-11-29) 2.2.7a
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.
Do i really need them in the SDK?
As far as i understand it, the file is needed to link the library (in this case libsupc++) but not with it (e.g. in a port)?
Correct?

So, do these files have to be in the SDK?

I'm asking because not all of the libs in e.g. local/newlib/lib have such files beside them and i'm wondering if they are needed at all.
