you can mix them all you like :) By "static library" I am refering to the .a files (archives) that most libraries (such as the stdc++ one) contain. These .a files are simply library versions of the dynamic shared library (kinda like the .lib vs .dll differences under windows). When linking with gcc you can mix dynamic (-lm for example) with static (libstdc++.a) files without a problem :) What you can't do is "-static" to gcc, as this will statically link all libraries (shared or not) into the binary. You generally don't want to do this as dynamically linking in glibc causes compatability problems on various linux distro's (running a statically linked glibc2.0 binary on a glibc2.2 machine won't work for some functions).

Didn't think you could mix shared and static linked libraries... but I'm not one of those GCC/Linux experts :-) I had loads of trouble with it so I cut a few things out and only use a STL version with headerfiles.

Alfred, Botman, and Cortex,
Thanks for the info!

Just make sure to statically link the libstc++ library (look in /usr/lib/gcc-lib for a file called libstc++<something>.a and add that to the linking stage of the linux binary). For windows, shouldn't be a problem :)

I have not tried this, but does anyone know if there are any issues with using the Standard Template Library with the HL SDK?
I think other people have had success using STL within the Half-Life SDK.
It seems to give a little more trouble for Linux newbies trying to get the proper static/dynamic libraries linked in correctly (issues using gcc verses g++, etc.), but I'm sure you won't have any trouble with that. :)
