Re: Using Shared Libraries with INFORMIX-4GL

Another "Con" is that it's yet another set of hassels to set up and get working. With static linking you make sure your development environement links in the right libraries (real easy), while with dynamic linkin you have to make sure every box you install the application on have the right libraries. That can become a mess with new versions coming out. David Williams <djw@smooth1.demon.co.uk> wrote: :In article <663428$mam@cssun.mathcs.emory.edu>, "Ing.
