/lib is for library files (.lib) – both the import libraries for .DLL and the .lib files for static files.

Subject: Re: [Coapp-developers] Common library paths

Hello,
2010/4/15 Garrett Serack <garretts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:garretts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>>
Currently, the plan is to have something like this for common files (bin/doc/include/lib):

└───Program Files [and Program Files (x86)]
    └───Common Files              -- already present in Windows installations
        └───CoApp  ****           -- Common parent for all shared components
            ├───bin               -- directory for shared tools & utilities
            ├───doc               -- container directory for common documentation
            ├───include           -- container directory for library include files
            ├───resources         -- container directory resources associated with a component
            └───lib

What is the purpose of that lib plugin? Is that a folder for application plugins? Or do you plan to distribute some library packages that don't use SxS?

Best regards,

Geoffroy
