One example of these are license enforcement libraries, common for shareware applications. > The problem this causes is a known one and the reason work have begun > on shared building of libcrystalspace; however at the moment none of > the devs seems to be intrested enough or have time enough to look into > the issues that still exists. And I didn't expect complete functionality when I read "EXPERIMENTAL" next to the feature. But I certainly didn't expect "no functionality". It basically means that the CS developers equate experimental to not-possible. > Patches that fixes it are most welcome! > :) (Or you can wait and hope someone else fixes it...) Of course, the true spirit of Open Source :-) But I already spend most of my free time contributing to other Open Source projects to even think of doing that. And the project schedule I'm working under wouldn't allow for time to fix CS to have functional dynamic linking. Instead I've decided to use OGRE3D which is still LGPL, but at least it has well functioning dynamic libraries. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo Using Tomcat but need to do more?
