# Simple Library Example
- Author: jak1

## Build
- `make shared` (required for all targets, also mentioned when you just do `make`) (shared object)
- `make client` builds the client_example (elf)
- `make server` builds the server_example (elf)
- `sudo make install` installs the library to /usr/local/*
- `make clean` cleans up all objects and binaries
- `sudo make cleanall` cleans up objects, binaries and delets it from your /usr/local/*

## Test it
the client needs a running server, so start with it first.\
- `./server_example`

then execute the client

- `./client_example`

## Troubleshooting
in case you get an error like: `error while loading shared libraries: libsom_net.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`\
there are 2 options:
- updated your ldconfig
or
- start the binarys like this:
  - ```LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./server_example```
  - ```LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./client_example```
