> mingw can link using a .dll > I do not have much mingw experience but I have around 15 of windows and Visual Studio experience. With Visual Studio you absolutely do not link your application with .dlls. You use import libs with a .lib extension the same way you do with a static lib. This import lib is not a static lib however its much smaller. During the application load process .dlls linked using import libraries are automatically loaded. This is not the only way to use .dlls you can use them also without linking but there is much more work in that.
