Re: win32 and static linking

[LievenQ <lieven quasar3d nl>]

Hi,

Probably not. On windows, a dynamic library (dll) usually also has an  
import library, which is a static library that simply contains references  
to the functions in the dll. So these libraries are needed to be able to  
link your executable. Then at run time you'll need the actual dll.

Greets,
