Distribution of a PGN parser library

[mathmoi]

Hi,

In the last couple of months I wrote a PGN parser library that I intend to open source. The library is written in C++, but I intend to provide a C wrapper and a Python module (I will personally need the python module for another project).

I'm trying to plan how a client application could use my library and I've got three options:­

1. Incorporate the library code into the client application's code. The library is compiled "into" the application.
2. Static library
3. Dynamic library

I think that a static library might be the best choice. If you were to use such a library, how would you prefer to link it to your application?

Thanks,[/list]

There is no reason not to support all 3 options.

The Gaviota tablebase code for example can be built as a library or directly incorporated (linked in).

You're right.

I guess I'll provide a Makefile with a static and dynamic targets and instructions on how to use it as source.
