Hi,

Having just completed installation of development tools in my
first installation of Debian (stretch), I tried to compile the
sources of some of my own apps but I end up with a shared library
object instead of an ELF executable! My apps are on my web site
in the signature below, and they compile well in Void Linux. Its
a puzzle for me but I am a complete beginner in Debian so it may
have something to do with my installation's setup.

My thanks in advance.


P.S. I have more data: Actually an ELF executable is apparently
produced, but when the source directory is viewed in the ROX-Filer
that I use, the ELF file is shown and reported as a shared library
object. The same happens when I look at the installed binaries in
/usr/local/bin, they also appear as shared objects. But Debian 

binaries are shown as such (with the cog wheel icon, rather than
the jigsaw puzle piece icon).

It seems that the ELF files compiled from the source code of my apps
are seen as shared object files by ROX-filer, whereas Debian ELF 

files are seen as such. So for some reason the ELF file format seems
to be different for some reason when I compile my source code and
that seems to confuse ROX!
