    <title>Building the application with XML Security Library.</title>
    <sect1 id="xmlsec-notes-compiling-overview">
        <title>Overview.</title>
        <para>Compiling and linking application with XML Security
	Library requires specifying correct compilation flags, library files 
        and paths to include and library files. As we discussed before, 
	XML Security Library consist of the core xmlsec library and several 
	xmlsec-crypto libraries. Application has a choice of selecting crypto 
	library at link time or dynamicaly loading it at run time. Please note,
	that loading crypto engines dynamicaly may introduce security problems
	on some platforms.

	However, there are few general things, that you need to remember:

	    <listitem><para>	
	     <emphasis>All libraries linked to your application must be compiled

	     <emphasis>Static linking with XML Security Library requires 
	     additional global defines:</emphasis>

#define LIBXML_STATIC
#define LIBXSLT_STATIC
#define XMLSEC_STATIC	    
	     </programlisting></informalexample>
	    </para></listitem>
	    <listitem><para>
	    If you do not want to dynamicaly load xmlsec-crypto library
	    and prefer to select crypto engine at linking then you should
	    link your application with xmlsec and at least one of 
	    xmlsec-crypto libraries.
	    </para></listitem>
	    <listitem><para>
	    In order to enable dynamic loading for xmlsec-crypto library
	    you should add additional global define:

	<title>Compiling and linking on other systems.</title>
	<para>Well, nothing is impossible, it's only software (you managed to 
	compile the library itself, do you?). 
	I'll be happy to include in this manual your expirience with
	compiling and linking applications with XML Security Library
	on other platforms (if you would like to share it).
