The main difference is that a program or library compiled without dynamic packages will each have a statically linked copy of the RTL (and any other code it uses). If a binary uses dynamic packages then the binary itself will not contain code that is contained in one of the used runtime packages. Binaries are relatively free to decide which packages it uses, except for the RTL package which always must be used if packages are to be used (because the core units like System then need to recide in a separate library, so that other packages and the main binary can use them). The options involved are -Fpxxx to set the path to search for pcp files (the metadata equivalent of a ppu for dynamic packages) and -FPxxx to specify which packages to use.
OK. Thanks for the info. Regards, Adriaan van Os _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
