Hi,

>From a previous post (library build confusion) there was a brief mention of 
what a runtime-link-dynamic library is:

This static library is built for linking to a dynamic runtime library.

Can someone elaborate on the uses of the 2 different static library types? 
More specifically which of the 2 static ones should I use to create 
executables? runtime-link-dynamic or runtime-link-static, or it doesn't 
matter? Why does a static library need to be different if is build for 
linking to a dynamic library?

Thanks,
