I've never tried it myself but I get the feeling that most libraries can be statically linked. Matthias metioned that some libs are dlopened at run-time though. I imagine those libs cannot be statically linked and will simply have to be shipped with your application and installed in the proper place by whatever installation utility you're using... which begs the question.... why not just install gtk+ as part of your installation routine? - Ben _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
