Sorry Jens, I read too quickly. The app is for the physical and engineering sciences, and will perform a least squares fit of experimental data to different physical models. The models for the experimental data will be in the plugins, and the user will likely only need to the load a few of the plugin models. In the host app (actually in one of it's static libraries dedicated to handling SI Units) is a static variable pointing to a singleton library (CFMutableSet) with a growing set of SI units available in the main app (and plugins). The units are flyweights, so I don't want multiple copies floating around the program.
So, I can't really define the static variable pointing to my library in the plugin. It needs to be defined in the library that handles all the SI units. Is it still possible to tell the linker to export the static variable pointing to my SI Units library in such a situation?
