OK, so that's given me a clue, and top hit comes up with : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/dl-libraries.html from that and the previous page I think I see what's needed. As I read that, "statically defined" shared libraries are automatically opened by the system when the program is loaded - so all you need to do is tell "whatever builds it" to include that information. But to make it "soft" it needs a few lines of code ? So not "hard", but a *little* extra work. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
