[mlpack] Compiling MLPACK as a shared library

[Qiang Kou]

Hi,

It is not hard, but may be a nightmare to compile and use a dll shared
library on Windows.

Look at the several lines from [1], change it into something like below:

if (WIN32)
  add_library(mlpack SHARED ${MLPACK_SRCS})
endif (WIN32)

You should get the* libmlpack.dll, *however, this is really not recommended.

Best,

KK
