About libstdc++ - if we link statically, we have no problems since it is *GPLed* with the following *exception*: // As a special exception, if you link this library with files // compiled with a GNU compiler to produce an executable, this does not cause // the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. // This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why // the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License. So as long as we use gcc there is no problem. We shouldn't link against it dynamically, it may really cause problems since this library isn't even an LGPL -- it's GPL! I ain't going figuring out what possible problems it may cause, I just want to ask: why can't we just safely link statically and forget about that libstdc++.dll? -- Konstantin Isakov |
