If I were building the zip/zlib packages, I wouldn't have an issue with the zip and unzip utilities depending on zlib.dll, that is as it should be. I would have an issue if we couldn't compile the standalone unzipsfx stub binary without linking to zlib.lib. That is an example where dlls vs libs becomes significant. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~coapp-developers Post to : coapp-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~coapp-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
