interesting thanks, so no static linking

that does not seem correct to me, as I understand it from the config, setting a 0 means that the feature won't be enabled, which was why with my earlier attempts at building stuff (using the old system) and with those older settings being enabled (=1) I wanted to query if I should change it to =1 for the new system :)

It seems to me surely it would be better to be statically linked so that the stuff I build is more 'portable' ?

Thanks for your reply Al :)
