OK, so what you call "linking with shared libraries" is actually linking
statically with libraries which may (or may not) be included in the
final executable, in which case you don't share them with anyone.
Dynamically linked libraries are always shared (when used). You never
used the all-important adverb "statically" so we understood that your
"shared libraries" were "dynamically-linked libraries", which, unlike
statically-linked ones, are always shared.


Best regards,
Tony.
