Hey guys!
I made a game using SFML and I wanted to link statically some libraries so the user doesn't have to download anything but the game. This is for the Desura branch, so I can link some libraries dinamically and the Desura App will handle the rest.
I can link these dinamically: sfml, libfreetype6, libjpeg8, libglew1.5, libopenal. And opengl and xlib should be installed by default. So, that leaves me with pthread, xrandr and sndfile to link statically.
I was wondering it's better to link statically some, dinamically others? Everything statically? I think that linking everything statically has the advantage that I know there won't be any library issues. I am unsure on how to proceed, and I was wondering how do you commonly approach this, or better yet, if you uploaded anything to Desura how did you do it?
