Using CMake: Static and Dynamic Libraries

When compiling a new program, we will use third-party compiled library files or library files that we compiled ourselves. Here we will use the static and dynamic libraries that have been compiled previously.1. Using Static LibrariesThe file structure is as follows. Here we have deleted add.c and subtract.c from the src folder, keeping only main.c, … Read more
