Many places I read that libc.a
is the gcc standard c library. I could not find it on my system.
My system (fedora 17 - linux on intel 32 chip) has latest gcc
and following files I could find on the disk in /usr/lib
:
I checked by using -v -wl,--verbose option that these are the files linker uses for linking automatically. but there is no such file as libc.a
Is libc.a missing on my system?
It was missing on my system since glibc-static
was not installed. Now I've installed it and I can see libc.a
in /usr/lib
.
