You just gave me an idea to compile in shared libraries and
then to extract them on run.
I'll let you know when I got some code.
(Btw this is not a good idea but definitely will work for
license reasons, although this could be a rather gray zone.
Should be confirmed.).
So I modified my Bin2D which allows compiling in resources[1].
Now it can produce an output file that when compiled in gives two
new functions.
These functions essentially extract the files for you.
One of those is for temporary directory[2].
Little bit off topic but it can be utilised for packaging up
shared libraries into your executable and then extracting on run.
E.g.
$ dub build
$ cd bin
$ ./Bin2D outputFile.d=outputModule lib1.so lib2.dll
Just an example usage. Note not on dub repository.
Just another option for ya.
