Static Library Dynamic RTL Question/Runtime Package Question

[micthom 0]

All,

 

This may be a stupid question but I am really trying to understand when using static libraries/TLIB what the option of linking with Dynamic RTL changes. When I use dynamic the reducing static library is actually larger not smaller and seems to have no effect whether I build my final application (which links in the static library) with dynamic RTL or out. If I use a static library /w dynamic RTL but build a non-dynamic final EXE it will still not require the dynamic RTL runtime.

 

I have been wondering this for while now and I would appreciate any assistance with this question. 

 

Hopefully this makes sense. I understand the link with dynamic runtime /packages in EXE applications.

 

Also does anyone have any suggestions on how they handle the "link with runtime package strings". Is there a way have Embarcadero just say "hey I want all runtime regardless of the string I specify here"? I found recently I was missing some

and had to manually edit the list on about 30 projects -- very tedious.

 

Thanks!
