NAME
Bobcat - Overview of classes in the Bobcat library
DESCRIPTION
The classes of the Bobcat library may be used after including bobcat/classname in sources.
Generally, programs using the Bobcat library must be at least linked against the Bobcat library. Refer to section LINKING for more informatin about linking programs to required libraries.
All classes and other elements are defined in the FBB namespace. For some classes manipulators are available, which are defined in the FBB namespace. An overview of all manipulators defined in the FBB namespace is provided by man -e bobcat manipulators.

LINKING
To link programs against the shared Bobcat library (e.g., libbobcat6.so) it is usually sufficient to merely specify -lbobcat. E.g.,
g++ --std=c++2a main.cc -lbobcat
Note: libraries that are indirectly required are no longer automatically linked to your program. With some classes (e.g., BigInt) the libcrypto library must also be specified, and programs using such classes must be linked against bobcat and crypto:
g++ --std=c++2a main.cc -lbobcat -lcrypto
Man-pages of classes requiring additional libraries mention these additional libraries in their SYNOPSIS sections.
When using static linking, the situation is slightly more problematic, and no general rule can be provided here. To create a statically linked program the flag -static must be provided, but in addition the -pthread flag must often be specified as well. If, when statically linking your program, undefined references to pthread_... identifiers are reported, then that is a sure sign that you need to provide the -pthread flag as well.
When using static linking additional libraries, not specified at the man-pages, may also be required. E.g., when using the Xpointer class and using static linking, the command becomes:
g++ main.cc -static -pthread -lbobcat -lX11 -lxcb -lXdmcp -lXau
When encountering undefined references when using static linking missing libraries may be suggested by the linker or by its error messages. Alternatively, the missing libraries may be found by searching the Internet.
