STATIC vs. SHARED

[KaptainKarl]

I recently installed both static and shared versions of QT 4.3.1 on my Suse 10.2 system intending to switch between the two as I went from a debugging mode to a release mode. I switch between the two by changing my PATH variable in my startup script.

NOTE: I installed the shared version first, then did a 'gmake confclean' and installed the static version in a different directory using -prefix option.

When I use the static version, I seem to produce executables that are linked to a mixture of static and shared libraries. The most glaring of these is the ld.so library. Is there a configuration file somewhere in my Home directory or other place that I need to change to switch between the two versions?

I appreciate any insight.

There is no configuration file like that. You just don't have all the libraries Qt uses in static versions, so they are linked dynamically.
