Hello Graham,
I was concerned
others might think the lack of a pre-compiled library was too hackish
(though I quite like it!). I think I'll proceed, and come back with
some sample code.
[...]
Thanks to your suggestion, I just discovered 'pragma("lib", ...)'
which does exactly what I wanted, and in a canoncial way.
put those together and an idea crops up: allow more than just local lib files
in that pragma, URL's come to mind but I'd think that some way to say a path
is relative to the root of the current package (local, mapped or whatnot)
might be every useful.
pragma(lib, "foo"); // as today
pragma(lib, "@foo"); // derived from package root, downloaded if needed,
might need to ask user "y/n" for that.
(BTW: hard coding the extension looks like a bad idea to me.)
Best,
Graham
