I guess you're referring to the MySQL++ FAQ, where it states this for Cygwin and MinGW compilers, neither of which can currently build a dynamic version of MySQL++. This has nothing to do with other platforms. If you want to talk about Cygwin or MinGW, take that up in a new thread. Or use Visual C++, which does not have this problem. > I assume then it only allows for static linking? I link a proprietary application to MySQL++ every day, dynamically. So no, you cannot have my object files. :)
