To: FreeBSD Questions Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk The latest Slackware Linux is ELF. So is this going to be the standard for all Unix system of the future or is this just a Linux thing. I'd like to know more about is issue and where FreeBSD is going. Just what's wrong with coff anyway? I seem to remember a discussion some time ago, but I'm not sure I herd the results. If I did, I've forgotten. If things are headed for ELF I like learn about it. If not I have enough other things to learn. Secondly, dose any one know of info on shared libs? Like how to build them.
