2 years ago I was just thinking about this Wednesday... I thought perhaps we could add {{libext}} or something similar as a find/replace token to the library_file config processing, so you could do e.g.:
"library_file": "./extern/noah-mp-modular/cmake_build/libsurfacebmi.{{libext}}"to explicitly make an agnostic config. The value for libext could be set as a compiler macro by CMake, where we already need to figure that out.
At the moment, realization configs required paths to shared library files for any utilized BMI module (except those in Python). This makes building a config tricky, because shared library files on different operating systems have different file extensions. I.e., even with the parent directory of a module file standardized, it generally isn't possible to write a single config file including a BMI formulation that works across OSs.
This needs to be remedied in some way. That may involve something akin to #221, a different approach, or a combination of both.
