Static linking will combine the IBM Open Class Library files with your object
files to create a stand-alone application. This means that you are not
required to have a copy of the X:\IBMCPP\DLL\DDE4*.DLL files on
your system in order to run the application.
The side effect of using this will be that your application may appear to be quite enormous in size.
To use 'static linking' you must specify the /Gd- (this is the
default) option when compiling your .CPP files. You can change this
setting by one of the following methods:
Tools
View is set to Actions
Compile subtree
C++ Compiler
File Options
Object tab
Static option for Library linkage
OK
/Gd- option is specified
