    Default Adding Library Methods - Static Vs Dynamic

    I need to add a library to my Qt application.
    The question is, given that the application will be cross-platform, and the library is QSerialDevice, what is the best method - static or dynamic?
    What are the tradeoffs between the two methods?

    Thanks for your advice!

    It doesn't matter, both are ok.

    What are the tradeoffs between the two methods?
    Dynamic means one more file to deploy, static means the main binary size is bigger.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
