Use of Linux libraries

Targets Linux
1

Hello

I’ve looked today at some Linux app dev frameworks like FLTK and so on, but as I have a Xojo license anyway I’m trying to build a simple application under Linux with it…

Main question is though, how to use and include a Linux library to extend the functionality, or better said, the Linux library provides access to external devices which the application needs to talk to…

Is there a simple example doing this?

And if so, is it the best practice to build the Linux library separately to be included inside the application structure?

External libraries are accessed through declares:

Thanks…(o;

Well then comes the next problem…as Xojo is still 32bit only, and probably will be for a while…
Not sure if a mix of 32/64Bit libraries will screw up a system…

It won’t screw up the system, but you can’t use 64-bit libraries with a 32-bit binary.

Hello Greg, I need to make some calls to a 64-bit library. What is the best way to log exceptions?
