[Qgis-developer] Building ".so" plugin, not ".dylib" on Mac

[William Kyngesburye]

If you are doing both of those at the same time, I'm guessing that dynamiclib (probably synonym for dylib) is overriding bundle.

You can figure out what it really linked as with:

  file /path/to/your/plugin

But then, the difference between a dylib and a bundle is not a big one - a dylib can be loaded like a bundle.  Maybe there is a different problem?
