Re: [Bacula-devel] Libs underlinkage

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello Vitaly,

I hope this gets to you, and sorry for taking so long to answer it. It
seems to have been buried in my inbox.

Anyway, these "underlinkages" as you call them are in fact designed that 
way,
because the symbols are resolved at runtime, which is one of the advantages
of having shared objects.  They do not create any problem when Bacula is
properly installed with all the components and all the needed libraries, 
thus
there is really no need to change anything.

To answer your last question: it is in a sense an architectural 
consequence rather
than a decision, and they all represent entry points or external symbols 
that are
implemented today, so there is nothing to work on.  They are simply 
dependencies
between the different shared objects and the "core" code.

Best regards,
Kern
