will linker choose static before dynamic library?

Show all headers | View raw

I was trying to build a supposedly well-behaved package, and got lots
of undefined reference errors.
The reason was that I had libX11.a from an attempt to build a crap
package that uses this obsolete library.
Now I also have libX11.so, so I renamed libX11.a and retried the
make.
All goes smoothly!
So if a developer assumes they are using the .so library,
do they get bitten, or can they use flags to shun the static relic?
