Re: [Alephmodular-devel] Question about modules

[Michael A. <mdm...@ya...>]

You may be interested to look at libtool.  It is a
cross platform wrapper around dynamically loaded
stuff. 

http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_toc.html

(That link is also a good book for anyone wanting to
learn automake and autoconf.)

However, dynamic stuff is always a pain to write
correctly, and I'm not to sure of libtool's support
for Classic, OSX or Win32.  Some dynamic stuff could
be turned into scripts in some scripting language and
that would avoid the incompatabilities of shared
libraries, but also has it's own problems.

Just a few thoughts,
