If you have both types installed for a given lib, then you can pass a flag to gcc (or g++) to choose static or dynamic linking on a by-library basis. See the gcc manual for details. And it is all more easily managed if you will use something like GNU programs "make" or "makepp" as a build tool. -Tom
