Hi,
I wrote a dynamic module and am trying to use package.el to install it. I
followed the instructions in the Emacs Lisp Manual and created a tar
archive. This tar archive contains:
sqlite3-api-0.1/
sqlite3-api-0.1/sqlite3-api-pkg.el
sqlite3-api-0.1/sqlite3-api.so
I then evaluated
(package-install-file "~/src/emacs-sqlite3-api/sqlite3-api-0.1.tar")
and it gave me an error:
(error "sqlite3-api.so:0:0: error: scan-error: (Containing expression ends
prematurely 47501 47502)\
")
From the backtrace, it's autoload-generate-file-autoloads in autoload.el
that caused it. Seems to me Emacs was trying to parse the .so looking for
autoloads?
It's on Linux (CentOS7). Interestingly I tried this on macOS later and this
time it worked perfectly.
Is package.el ready for dynamic modules yet?
One more thing related to dynamic modules: seems to me unload-feature
doesn't support dynamic modules yet. Will this be fixed?
Thanks

Only answering this one: Unloading dynamic libraries is generally quite
hairy. I don't think there are plans to support it at the moment.

Yes, I'd be surprised in fact if this is ever supported, unless it becomes a
more common and useful thing to have.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)
I'm not quite sure what the status of including .so files in Emacs
packages is now -- anybody know? (.so files are architecture specific,
so I guess it's not something we do generally, but I guess people would
want to do it, anyway...)

Why not build the .so files as part of installing the package?

I think that's the recommended way to do it, but then you need gcc etc
on the client machines. I can see how it'd be convenient for some
people to distribute pre-built .so packages for (say) a small homogenic
set of hosts.
