Dynamic Loading RenderMan

In this case, the libprman library is loaded by the application at runtime from the RMANTREE environment variable. This is made possible by directly linking the libloadprman.a static library the static library into your application. When using the RenderMan API, a RixContext pointer may be obtained by calling RixGetContextViaRMANTREE.
