[Lazarus] FYI: Shared Libraries support

[Hess, Philip J]

That's an ancient article. The perceived problem with DLL's had more to
do with Visual Basic's runtime and VB .ocx controls that had to be
registered than it did with DLL's themselves. If you develop and
distribute DLL's with your app, there really is no problem. You can even
load them yourself with LoadLibrary.

All OS's and many apps on Windows, Linux and OS X are made up of
numerous dynamically loaded libraries. You don't see Linux and OS X
developers worrying much about this issue.

Thanks.

-Phil

Hi.

There's have been some previous posts about shared objects/dynamic  
libraries support with FPC/Lazarus IDE. I'm sending a link to an  
related article, about DLL, just for general information, not to start  
a "flame war":

What do you think ?
