[ghemical-devel] Re: Ghemical 1.51 and Shared Libraries?

[Geoff Hutchison]

One last question for Ghemical 1.5x development. Would it be helpful to 
build shared libraries for MOPAC and libghemical? I can help with this, 
though it's easiest to switch to automake/libtool when building shared 
libs and this makes the actual Makefiles unreadable. (OTOH, the 
Makefile.am files are easy to handle and the shared library support is 
worth it, IMHO.)

I bring this up because I'm trying to hunt down some MOPAC bugs on Mac 
OS X and it's becoming a bit tedious to edit some files in libghemical 
and libmopac, recompile, recompile ghemical, then test. :-(

With shared libraries, I wouldn't need to rebuild ghemical--it would 
automatically use the updated libmopac and libghemical.
