Dynamic vs. static linking is a different issue. At this time, libdbi is not linked against the drivers at all, for the reasons mentioned in my previous mail. Instead it uses dlopen() to load the drivers at runtime. libtool is involved here only on platforms which do not provide their own dlopen() implementation. However, building libdbi as a dynamic library uses libtool anyway, and it should be possible to statically link a project against libdbi if desired without further modifications. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
