If, on the other hand, Margus means *GLib* shared libraries, there is less
work involved.
The new versions of prc-tools handle multiple code sections, doing the
loading and dispatching automatically, using a technique which requires
global data. GLibs have their own global data and manage it automatically,
and there is no reason in principle why you couldn't build a multiple
code resource GLib, though all the entry point functions would have to
be in the main code resource.
The fly in the ointment is that the version of prc-tools which
supports multiple code resources currently doesn't support GLibs.
Fixing this shouldn't been too much trouble, and Michael Sokolov
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has already done it, or something
similar.
So I guess the short answer is "No, but there will be". :-(
