本文解释了一个常见的GCC编译错误：linker input file unused because linking not done。此错误发生在使用-c选项仅进行编译而不链接的情况下。文章详细说明了如何正确地在不同阶段使用链接标志，并指出应在最终链接可执行文件时才使用这些标志。

In the command for this target: libshm.a : libfile1.o     
gcc -Wall -c -lsocket -lnsl libfile1.c  
you're compiling only because you have the -c flag. 
No linking takes place, so gcc is informing you that it is ignoring the -lsocket and -lnsl linker flags. 
You don't need them in that command.  
All of the linking takes place in the command for this target: client1: client1.o libshm.a     
gcc -Wall client1.o -L. -lshm -o client  
Here you will want to use -lsocket and -lnsl because you're linking all of the parts into an executable, 
so you can't leave anything out.
