Hello @certik,

We’ve initiated the development of a prototype for the dynamic library in fpm. Currently, we’re exploring two potential approaches: integrating tables into the fpm.toml file or incorporating flags into the build process ([[fpm] Discovery of installed fpm packages](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/fpm-discovery-of-installed-fpm-packages/7986)). Additionally, we’re refering to various system-specific flags and issues like `RPATH` and `libfortran/libquadmath` ,( as previously mentioned above) . @arteevraina, your insights on the implementation aspects would be great.
