I’m not sure if I am going about this the right way. I am making some c++ classes to use in 2 apps. I am going to have to compile them to be used in a Cocoa app and later be compiled for use with fastcgi.
Should I create a dynamic library?
Don’t forget that you have static library as an option too. On some platforms dynamic libs come with a bunch of annoying baggage. They’re also slightly slower (though this is usually beside the point). They also can’t be replaced without recompiling the program (you might be more concerned about this in a web environment). Finally, when you’re only running one of the programs on a computer you gain nothing by making the lib dynamic…and little when there’s only two.
