[fpc-pascal] uses myunit in '../src/myunit.pas' ?

I profit that you are here Michael !

Not everybody knows perfectly his os.
Dealing with dynamically libraries helps to not oblige end-users to copy
files into root-protected-directories.

But, like explained, if that dynamically loaded library depends on other
libraries you have to define the library-search path for that dependencies.

And here we come.

With fpc, that knows lot of os (unlike other compilers), with use of:

{$ifdef linux}{$define something}{$endif}
{$ifdef freebsd}{$define somethingelse}{$endif}
{$ifdef windows}{$define somethingdifferent}{$endif}
...

you may help a lot end-users (and developers) 

Take a look at stackoverflow or other developer forum: "how to define path
of libraries" is asked looot of times.

Ha, then you know the command to use... ;-)

This command will be added in the TProcess used by TLoadLibrary.LibraryPath.

And this, with help of all the fpc-gurus, for each OS.
