Compiling/linking

[Andrew Wood]

Hi,

This is going to sound like a very dumb question, so forgive me if it 
seems obvious but it isn't particularly transparent.

Say I've built GNUCash and installed it with 'make install'. I then 
change some of the code in io-gncxml-v2.c .I then run make. This will 
recompile that file, and I presume the object file will be linked with 
other appropriate object files. Try as I might I can't see which other 
object files this is linked with and, more importantly, what the library 
or executable is called that is produced by the link process. What I 
want to do is, to replace the older version of the io-gncxml-v2.c code 
with my amended code (this is a patch isn't it?).

Any suggestions or advice?

Thanks,

Andrew Wood, Oxford.
