OT - Dynamic or Statically Linked Executables

Hello All,

HPUX11 (32 bit)
Progress 9.1D

We use probuild to rebuild our progress executable, linking in our own c routines for 3rd party software.

I've been asked do we statically or dynamically link. Can anybody tell me how I find out?

Apparently if we statically link then we can build the executable on the development host & copy it to the production host without the need for C++ libraries on production.

If we dynamically link then we'll need c++ libraries on the production host.

Is there an easy way that I can determine whether we are linking static or dynamic?

Many thanks
Keith
