Linking to a GPL library via a LGPL component in a closed source application

Programmer Question

Hi,

I'm using a GPL library in my closed source app. The library providers provide a FOSS exception where a number of licenses are acceptable to them, including LGPL.

So I was thinking of writing a LGPL licensed wrapper on top of the GPL library and using the library through the LGPL wrapper in my app. Is this the appropriate way to do it if I don't want my closed source app to be open sourced? I would, I believe, have to provide the source of the LGPL wrapper.
