 # Generating export headers
 
-Abstract to be written ...
+In this recipe we wish to:
+- Build both a shared and static library from the same set of source files.
+- Ensure that only the visibility of symbols in the shared library is properly delimited.
+
+To demonstrate this, we revisit [Recipe 3 in Chapter 1](../../chapter-01/recipe-03).
