Exercise: Build Software Package (Native)

• Download the tar file (Software.tar.xz)

• Unpack it with the following command:

  $ tar -J -x -f Software.tar.xz
  

• You’ll see a directory, Software/, a follows

  $ tree Software/
  Software/
  ├── greet.c
  ├── greet.h
  ├── greet-parameterized.c
  └── greet-simple.c
  

• Write a Makefile that builds the software in a way that

  • All *.c files are compiled into corresponding *.o files ⟶ no linking step!

  • greet.o goes into a library, libgreet.a (it does not contain a main() function)

  • A program greet-parameterized is built by linking greet-parameterized.o (containing main()) against libgreet.a.

  • Likewise, greet-simple is built by linking greet-simple.o against the library.

• Test the outcome by running the two programs.
