You are right, I dont believe in static linking for a professional
app. To me dynamic linking has provided no problems whatsover after
working with multiple large and medium sized shrink wrap apps(over 80
DLLs and under 40 DLLs). I used to think static linking is for school
type of project(I still kind of do) but I am more aware of its needs
thru you/DavidC. But I havent touched C++ in over 8 months now and I
seriously doubt if I will go back. So all this may be just mute.
It sounds like you equate "bloat" with "professional". Many "professional"
apps are single .exe's and are in fact more elegantly crafted to keep them
small. Perhaps these are made by un-real programmers? Perhaps you are of
the mindset that it's better for your app setup to be a 50 MB download
because that implies it is more capable than an app which is merely 2 MB
download? But then since your "professional" app required over 24 hours to
build, it's no wonder.
I'm glad I'm an "unprofessional".
