Re: [Flightgear-devel] SimGear as shared lib

Hello Karsten,

 just a small question: is it hard to include simgear as shared libs?

No, it's not dificult at all. But you probably don't _want_ to, because
changes in FlightGear sometimes relate to changes in SimGear so you
have to rebuild SimGear anyway.
I'd stick to static libs, especially since rebuilding SimGear doesn't
take that long - compared to FlightGear,

Martin.

 I think the real issue is that SimGear shouldn't be installed anywhere ever,  
 because it isn't a shared library (and 
 doesn't need to be).   It seems like it should be possible to fix the fgfs 
 build setup so that it just links libraries 
 right from the SimGear build directory.

or modify make install so that it emulates cp -p

Yes.  I tried to do that once and just lost interest before getting it working 
(didn't take long).  Really though, rant I find it annoying to install a 
library that is statically linked by only one application into my lib 
directories.  There's already way too much useless crapola and 
redundancy-because-everyone-wants-to-start-their-own-project-these-days in the 
typical linux distro's library directory(ies) these days./rant

Which is why I have them installing in a non-default prefix location.  Just a 
thought... :-)

Best,

Jim
