I have been using RedHawk for some time and new Component Project wizard has always created a project that builds to an executable. Now when I create new Component Projects it builds a shared library. I can create a new project, generate code with no changes (no ports, properties, etc) and it builds a shared library. Have I missed some new option that defaults to building a component in the form of a shared library? I can find no option to choose shared libary vs executable when creating or building. How do I choose an executable? I recently upgraded to RedHawk 2.1 and have been working mostly with devices and new device projects do still produce an executable. I may not have tried a new component project since updating. Is this something new in 2.1?
The shared library output is the default in REDHAWK 2.1 and provides "Significant enhancement of Component model and BULKIO to support high performance I/O" via the new shared address space model. See the release announcement on the redhawksdr.org website or view the component model docs here for detail.
