If kernel get updated, do I need recompile my shared libs?

Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:37 pm

Hello~

I noticed raspbian got a 3.10 kernel, I'm hesitating to update or not, for I have some self-compiled shared libs here. Do I need recompile them after the kernel update?

You shouldn't need to recompile any shared libraries - they are not usually tied to the specific kernel version.

The usual thing that would need recompiling is any kernel drivers/modules that you may built yourself.
