XOpenME is a simplified OpenME plugin without extenral dependencies to be linked with various apps and tools to dump system state in json format to CK FGG note: unlike Linux, on Windows creation of static and dynamic libs is slightly different. In both cases .lib is created and both static (/MT) and dynamic flags can be used (/MT). It creates a complexity. To simplify that, on Windows on compile only static lib but with /MD, i.e. itself it does not include sublibs ... Then by default ck compile program also uses dynamic compilation, will link this lib statically, but will resolve all the other dependencies dynamically too ...
