Thanks, that post helped.
The steps/examples on the "Getting Started on Windows" page will only work if the static versions of the libraries were installed, and it doesn't explain how to choose to use DLLs.

Now I have another question, albeit less critical for my coming up to speed to use the libraries:  If the DLL is not on the PATH, rather than get a message box from the operating system like I recall from many years of Windows development, the program does nothing at all.  No error, or any indication that a DLL is missing or which one.

I'm using 64-bit XP, (version 5.2.3790 to be exact), and running a program compiled as 32-bit from a command shell.
