Don't know where else to ask this:

Is there any hope for getting Upp as a shared library, especially on Linux?
Or as a set of shared libraries?

I think there is now nothing that prevents it from technical standpoint, as we do not require .icpp logic anymore for the library.

There are two issues:

a) modularity. U++ is way too modular (deliberately of course), you will have hard time to decide how to group packages into libraries. Single package <-> single library would not work IMO, as there are too many packages.

b) somebody would have to do that... while I understand the value of this, it is low on my priority list. Ideally, this could happen as "3d party" effort. Sources are available, so the best scenario is I am not involved at all Smile
