- Summary: SCCS, libraries, Makefiles
-
- We have a configuration problem brewing here where I work. We have a
- SCCS-based source code control system which has worked well in
- developing C applications for unix platforms. We have library and
- application program source directories. We are starting to develop
- C++ classes and applications. The big question is whether libraries
- are the way to share classes between application programs, or if there
- is a better way to let application programs get to class objects. We
- would prefer to have the Makefile that builds a given application
- retrieve an object file rather than the source file (even though it is
- all controlled under source code control). The problem is
- containment: several classes inherit or contain other classes, so we
- cannot just give the application program a single object file -- or
- can we?
