Get the Assignment Code

Login to your university Unix account and copy the assignment code to a location under your home directory:

  cp -r /export/home/public/schwesin/csc328/assignments/project1 LOCATION

where LOCATION is a directory of your choosing.

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to automate the process of creating static and dynamic libraries using the make program. The assignment directory contains the following files:

• connectTCP.c
• connectUDP.c
• connectsock.c
• errexit.c
• passiveTCP.c
• passiveUDP.c
• passivesock.c
• Makefile
• Makefile-dynamic
• Makefile-static

You need to edit the Makefile-dynamic and Makefile-static files to create a dynamic (shared) and static libraries respectively from the provided C source files. The main target for Makefile-dynamic must be a dynamic library named sockutils.so.1 and the main target for Makefile-static must be a static library named sockutils.a. Write the Makefiles such that only the necessary files are built when any given file changes.

In addition to the main target, each Makefile should have two phony rules named clean and realclean. The clean rule must remove any temporary object files and the realclean must remove all build artifacts.

Information about creating libraries can be found in the man pages for the ar and gcc programs.
