Hi,
I'm a newbie in c++ so excuse any stupid questions.
I don't use any programming environment like eclipse, but only a text editor and a shell. So even if I just use one of the alglib_specialfunctions I end up first compiling then linking 4 (or more) files. I read about making shared objects out of all alglib-files, but I need a step by step explanation of how to do this. Or is there another possibility to install alglib "properly" like for example the blitz-library.
At the end I would like to be able to link with a flag like


Thank you very much for your help!

Current version of ALGLIB does not include built-in support for shared library creation, so you have to build shared lib yourself. I can recommend you to use libtool, which allows to create portable and installable shared libraries.

Thanks, I will give it a try. One more question; if I have successfully installed alglib as a shared library, how do I include the right header files?
So far I did it with

but then the compiler looks in the same directory, right?
Is there something like a "big header file", like #inlcude <alglib.h>, or do I have to supply the directory while linking using the -L flag?

Thanks for your help!
