[Gambas-user] Working with .so library

[Cedron Dawg]

Thanks Jussi, I'm glad you like it.

The RunSh.module has been evolving a bit so the version in the FFTW example is not quite as good as the one I attached.  If you would kindly incorporate your suggestions and attach it to the response, I will use it going forward and others can have it right away.  I was a bit lazy with it and if the .so doesn't exist it will be quietly compiled without a message saying it is being compiled.

The other problem is the .so is in the application directory and I still haven't figured out the best way to include it with other projects.  I.e. should you just copy the .so file into the new project, should you copy it to /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib or some other alternative?  Suggestions welcome.

That is good way to share C library code. However, little thing. 
Instead of giving error messages like "MaybeCompileLibrary: compile.sh not found.", give them like this: 
"MaybeCompileLibrary: " & theShSpec & " not found." 

That way the user knows what exactly could not be found and from where. Or in case of open source program, even like this: 
System.Backtrace[0] & ": " & theShSpec & " not found." 

This way the user knows immediately the line in the source code what gives the error.
