inherit static library dependencies

Yes. Your project is dependent on both the userLib and SDK libraries and headers. The userLib is dependent on the SDK headers, but not on the SDK library.

ok with shared librarys this behaviour is different I guess?

What I never found out yet, sorry I'm new to deep c programming and bigger projects, is a shared library loaded once or twice in target system if two applications running using it. What I mean is if I have some sort of init stuff that should be used seperate by each application for example. Does Application A sees the "initialized" library if Application B that uses the same shared library have already executed the init sequence?

Edit: One of my books says: "dynamic librarys use all the same code, they are loaded only once". That means they share any values of their variables also, correct?

Sorry if this is a stupid question!

This is getting off-topic, but yes, shared libraries and DLLs are different - they are much more like executables than static libraries, and they  _do_ link with their dependent libraries, or at least with the dependent libraries import libs.

Nope. By default, each loaded instance of a shared library shares code, but gets its own data segment. If two applications use the same shared library, they do not share data.

Thanks for reply to offtopic!

You have really helped me, now I can decide if shared or static librarys are better in my case.
