Shared library support #161

Open win8linux opened 2 months ago

win8linux commented 2 months ago

I am currently attempting to package both this and turbo for a distribution, however both seem to only have static library support. What would be needed for shared/dynamic library support?

Hi @win8linux!

I believe that shared library support would be a complete mess unless proper versioning is introduced and API stability can be ensured, something I do not yet feel confident about.

However, I have seen several tvision packages which patch the project in order to enable shared libraries, such as here and here.

so version would be required true. but stability is not true. you only need to know when to bump. and there are tools for tracking when you need to bump the so version.
