Hi there, * "name" is used as a lookup key to locate the app (app name is passed to nox_core as an argument). * "library" is used to locate the shared object file to dlopen.
They could have the same value, but they have different meanings. The library value depends on your Makefile.am. So if you are replacing switch to switchtest in your Makefile.am, that should be fine.
