Re: Binary Source Code

Hi,

I would like to know about the following, i have no idea how to do this
and neither do i know where to start from so any hints would be
appreciated.

Binary-only distribution is not considered advisable here.

I would like to give my source code to another friend of mine in binary
format , he wants to create his applications on my code and would
require my binary files to be used at the time of compilation.How do i
make the configure files or make files for this kind of a
configuration.ANy ideas or Urls i can look at which tell me how to go
about it. i have neglible experience with make files so it would be
really appreciated if some one can guide me in this.

You want to distribute a library. This consits of the necessary header files, documentation and the actual library. There are shared and static libraries, both work well and have been in use for almost a hundred years ;-)

Second, is it possible to give some files as binary files and some
files in complete (source files),how will the compilation work now.

Don't mix. Either give a library or sources as your friend may find it too complicated. Give a library and examples or give sources. Prepare to spend some time getting it all running with your friend.

To build a library you can use any of the available tools, for example you can use the Makefile generator I wrote (find it here <http://sourceforge.net/projects/proja>) which is fairly easy to use. Create a project, add a new target (the name starting with lib...), add files and compile/link options and you get a Makefile which generates you shared and static libraries.

Have fun,

Berny...

PS: I'd be happy to receive some feedback on proja ;-)
