That's off course the Linux behavior with GNU compiler. This can be used as many time as you wish in the linker command line toggling it is by using -dynamic. Also if you want to avoid recompiling you may use the environment variable LD_PRELOAD, which will cause you application to load the static library first. > Thanks, > > --Amos > > -- Ravid Baruch Naali [EMAIL PROTECTED] +972 4 6732729 +972 52 5830021 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
