Request: Shared Libraries on Linux

I’m hoping that this will be included sometime soon. Marcus, do you think you can add support for this?

The DerelictGLFW project at dsource.org (for the D programming language) needs a linux shared library version of GLFW to work on that platform. I’ve done a stop-gap solution for version 2.4.2 in the meantime that converts the source and makefile to create a shared library. My instructions are provided here:

http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict/trunk/DerelictGLFW/README

It works fine with a simple modification to the source. But I was hoping there would be official support for this soon.

I have the makefile changes and source changes if your interested. These changes aren’t very significant.

Thanks,
