Win32 static linking question. Possible?
Yep. I do it with every release.
Assuming for a moment that it's possible, is it a good idea?
Depends on your circumstances. If you want to ship a smaller, single-file program instead of an EXE plus a raft of DLLs -- yes!
I've read the mailing list archives and a commen theme seems to be it's possible but not advisable. Seems like the plug-in system throws a wrench in things.
I don't think it's much of a wrench. You must explicitly make sure each plugin gets linked, but that's not a big problem, compared to the rewards.
So, have things changed or should I just stick with the DLL route? I'm really trying to avoid shipping a bunch of DLLs with my executable.
That was my motivation too. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson aka Eric Hammil | http://www.3DNature.com/ eric at logrus "I set the wheels in motion, turn up all the machines, activate the programs, and run behind the scenes.
