@node Dynamic Libraries
@section Dynamically Loaded Libraries
@cindex dynamic libraries
A @dfn{dynamically loaded library} is a library that is loaded on
demand, when its facilities are first needed. Emacs supports such
on-demand loading of support libraries for some of its features.
@defvar dynamic-library-alist
This is an alist of dynamic libraries and external library files
implementing them.
Each element is a list of the form
@w{@code{(@var{library} @var{files}@dots{})}}, where the @code{car} is
a symbol representing a supported external library, and the rest are
strings giving alternate filenames for that library.
Emacs tries to load the library from the files in the order they
appear in the list; if none is found, the running session of Emacs
won't have access to that library, and the features that depend on the
library will be unavailable.
Image support on some platforms uses this facility. Here's an example
of setting this variable for supporting images on MS-Windows:
@lisp
(setq dynamic-library-alist
'((xpm "libxpm.dll" "xpm4.dll" "libXpm-nox4.dll")
(png "libpng12d.dll" "libpng12.dll" "libpng.dll"
"libpng13d.dll" "libpng13.dll")
(jpeg "jpeg62.dll" "libjpeg.dll" "jpeg-62.dll" "jpeg.dll")
(tiff "libtiff3.dll" "libtiff.dll")
(gif "giflib4.dll" "libungif4.dll" "libungif.dll")
(svg "librsvg-2-2.dll")
(gdk-pixbuf "libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll")
(glib "libglib-2.0-0.dll")
(gobject "libgobject-2.0-0.dll")))
@end lisp
Note that image types @code{pbm} and @code{xbm} do not need entries in
this variable because they do not depend on external libraries and are
always available in Emacs.
Also note that this variable is not meant to be a generic facility for
accessing external libraries; only those already known by Emacs can
be loaded through it.
This variable is ignored if the given @var{library} is statically
linked into Emacs.
