[C++ Toolkit ANNOUNCE] online resources to help determine needed libraries

[Aaron Ucko]

The core C++ Toolkit group here at NCBI is pleased to announce the public
availability of two online resources to make it easier to determine which
of the C++ Toolkit's libraries a project needs.

- The symbol search tool
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/lib_search/libsearch.cgi
  can help you find the library corresponding to a given function or class.

- The library-dependency summarizer
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/depgraphs/dglistdeps.cgi
  (to whose output libsearch.cgi links) can help you determine what other
  libraries you need, and in what order to link them to avoid errors with
  typical (one-pass) Unix linkers.

The C++ Toolkit's online manual contains more information about both tools:
