Hello Jay,
ru linking to this LGPL library statically or dynamically...??
if statically linked ,then u should make only that of the ur src code
open ,so that , changes in LGPL can
be done effectively.
On other hand ,if it dynamically linked,then u don't have to worry about
ur src code to be made open.
hope this helps
vinaya
