Just now, and yesterday, I tried getting Oregon C++ to do dynamic linking.
But it refused to do it.

The problem is that I want to link my C++ code to the SunView graphics
libraries, which are vey big. I can shave about 500k of code off my
executable if I use dynamic linking, which the linker "ld" is capable
of doing.

Has anyone out there had success with dynamic libraries on Sun workstation,
linked to Oregon C++ code?

The code links to the static versions of the libraries all the time. It all
works, but makes a very large executable.

Thanks in advance,

Alan Kennington.
