WTF?  :D

Erm...random?  DLLs are important in Windows.

 
quote:a whole lot more can be said against

/lib/*
/usr/lib/*
/opt/lib/*
/usr/X11R6/lib/*
--- End quote ---


*checks Linux computer*
/lib: 1,351 files, 17MB.
/usr/lib: 14,389 files, 470MB.
/opt/lib: don't have that directory.
/usr/X11R6/lib: 8,660 files, 105MB.

 :eek:

Ah well.  At least they're all in one place.  :D

hm_murdock:
that's 24,400 files, dicklick.

last time I checked 24,400 > 1,931

as for "obscure names" let's look at some of  this bullshit

libicucore.dylib                libtinfo.dylib
libinfo.dylib                   libxml2.2.dylib
libiodbc.2.1.6.dylib            libxml2.dylib
libiodbc.2.dylib                libz.1.1.3.dylib
libiodbc.dylib                  libz.1.dylib
libiodbcinst.2.1.6.dylib        libz.dylib
libiodbcinst.2.dylib            pam
libiodbcinst.dylib              php
libipsec.A.dylib                pkgconfig
libipsec.dylib                  ruby
libk5crypto.dylib               sa
libkrb4.dylib                   sasl2
libkrb5.dylib                   system
libkrb524.dylib                 tclConfig.sh
libkvm.dylib                    xml2Conf.sh
liblber.dylib                   zsh
libldap.dylib

that's some of the files that exist in /private/usr/bin in Mac OS X 10.3.1 (on Darwin 7.0, MACH kernel, FreeBSD 5 Subsystem)

this patchwork of shit is what keeps the UNIX parts of OS X on its feet.

the high-level stuff, fortunately rides atop this and doesn't have to deal with it.

anyway, I think you might want to check out your findings there, bub

until then, fuck off

Is that true? Wow, windows does suck. I mean wow.   :cool:

solarismka:
The thing with dlls is, its what M$ uses on top of it registry.

The registry is the foundation of windows while as the DLL file is the book that it gets the information to build the appropreate software on top of that foundation.

Not only does it get information for that software but it also checks the version of dlls.

win 95 is not compatible with 98 with ME/XP 2k well you get the idea.

And exuse jimmy there.  we have problems with trolls on this board.

hm_murdock:
what's that? I couldn't hear your underbreath mutterings
