I already managed to make everything works in test condition but my problem comes from a really little thing: How can tell a declare statement to use a library in a relative path (inside my application folder as a resource) ? I currently have this: Declare Function my_func Lib "/full/path/to/library.dylib" ( ... ) as Int32 but I cannot use a variable in it, what I wish to write is: path = "relative/path/to/library.dylib" Declare Function my_func Lib path ( ... ) as Int32 Is there a way to do something similar ? The reason I want to do this is really simple: I have a library already compiled for linux, windows, etc... and it works quite well using declare, the other alternatives would be to create a plugin linked to the library but since it is a dynamic library I am still screwed (I don't want my users to have to install anything) or to include the library code in my plugin which means to battle with the build system. The plugin license allow any of the choices I mentioned there. Thanks for any advice.
