Hi !

I just read a few documents regarding deploying qt applications on Windows and MacOS platforms. I guess to avoid any conflicts, the libraries are usually located in the application's directory on windows and in the application bundle on the Mac. Thus, each application has its own copy of the qt library.

So, here is what I don't understand : if each app comes with its own copy of the lib, what's the point of dynamic linking ? Wouldn't static linking be as good or better ?
