You can change the libraries to which your current project links.

2. Select the Select Standard Libraries tab.

3. Click checkboxes next to the libraries you want.

4. Select Default, Static Link, or Dynamic Link.

• If you select Default, you are asking for the compiler to choose how to link the selected libraries (dynamic linking is the default).

• If you select Static Link, you are asking for the selected libraries to be copied into your code.

• If you select Dynamic Link, you are asking that the selected libraries remain external to your code (making your executable smaller).
