Hi, In fpGUI based applications I have always used static link to libraries like Xlib or Xft, using the units xlib.pas and xft.pas
I want to add spellchecker support (from a C library) to one of my applications. So what is better, to continue using static linking, or rather use dynamic linking (via dynlibs unit)? What would be the pros and cons of each? Only thing with dynamic linking that I can see, is than 'ldd <myapp>' doesn't list the spellchecker library. I also believe, using dynamic linking under linux binds you to the linux C library. The only other pro for dynamic linking i can see, is that if the spellchecker library is not available, only spellcheck support will be disabled and the application can still continue running. I guess this would be the deciding factor - is it a requirement or an optional extra having spellchecker support.
