Ah, so you implemented it. I remember Fons and I discussed that some time ago. I hope you remember to set the `rpath' when `--enable-rpath' is given to `configure' - otherwise, it's pretty meaningless. However, it doesn't change the fact that users have to, by hand specify the ROOT libraries the client libraries depend on. > Also note that with the version currently in CVS, the automatic loading > of a shared lib is implemented, eg > root > TLorentzVector v; > This statement in CINT will automatically do gSystem->Load("libPhysics"); But that's an entirely different issue. This has to do with your plugin manager. I think I brought up the issue some time ago with Fons, that the plugin manager should really be used more heavily. What I had in mind, was that libraries like `libFumili' are really plugins and not libraries at all. Hence, they should live in a separate directory (e.g., <prefix>/lib/root/plugins), and really be linked like `libtool -module' would do (on windows, a dll without a corresponding lib file). Maybe, you could extent the system.rootmap functionality a bit further, so that clients can add more files of that type to some directory (/etc/root/plugins), as well as some place to look for additional files with lines like `+Plugin.<...> ......'. In that way, client code can easily integrate it's code into ROOT. > The rootmap file contains all the dependencies for a given class > and the corresponding shared libs will be loaded in the right order. Basically the output of `nm -C', massaged a bit, right?
