Subject: Re: Two XS modules linked to one .a library.
Just to clarify I was meaning the symbols in the shared third-party .a
library.
Afterthought:
The 3rd party .a library is not really "shared".
When you build a module against it, the .a library's functionality gets
incorporated into the functionality of the module's .so file.
After the build, you can rename the .a file or entirely remove it from the
system, and the module will remain fully functional.
Cheers,
Rob
