Agreed. What I was getting at was the situation where you want to deliver a
"gnu-win32"
generated ''solution'' with the minimum of hassle. With the static link, you
one have one
(veRY LARge) exe, rather than one exe and a DLL that has to go lord-knows-where
- maybe
package creation, a la Solaris is the answer?
What do you think?
