Hello!

I am searching for the possibility to use dynamic libraries with FPC but ones wich are NOT linked at startup but under the explicite control (and request) of the executing program. I am searching for FPC equivalents of the functions in Borlands WinProcs unit:

LoadLibrary
FreeLibrary
RegisterProc

I know how I can make/use these with Windows but I don't know if it is present or even possible with Linux. Has anyone some experience (with C and Linux is would be also OK for me) or is it maybe already present in a current FPC version?

The reason I need this is to make a software wich has a library consisting of procedures and functions, wich can be like
plug-ins.

Have a nice day,

Yes, it is. Source for v1.1 contain a new unit dynlibs, which does exactly this (should be supported on OS/2, Linux and Win32 currently).

Not sure but I think glib offers such functionality and it works both in linux and windows. You can find Glib within GTK libraries.
