But to be cross platform, we have to go to the least common
denominator. If you don't care about the difference, then just use
SHARED all the time and you will be good. So, you could do this by your
self:
if(APPLE)
// use module
else
// use shared
endif
But if you need to link to it on one platform, I can't see why you would
not need to link to it on the platform that requires module to be different.
Thanks ! That should work for me ... until we decide to support Apple :)
