Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Libtsk as a DLL or series of DLLs

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

Hi Eddie,

For our projects and incident response scenarios, a static library has been better. But, there are certainly other scenarios that a dll is good too. I don’t believe there is any reason why you can’t make a separate visual studio project that makes a dll from the static library. 

thanks,
brian
