Statically linked TBB in Commerical?

[ndepalma]

Hi, I am currently testing out OSSTBB and mucho kudos for this package. It is very nice. Little documentation/sample code, but very nice!

I am thinking about integrating it with our product line vs some other packages. We ship a single dll. We don't want to open up the GPL can of worms but want to use the threading library. I noticed this thread:

So we attempted to integrate (as a test) the code into our DLL just fine so I know it's not a technical impossibility. So to the question:

Does the commerical package support statically linking TBB into a DLL? (I mean granted, we jump through some hoops, would it be possible?

Thanks for the help!

No, the commercial version of TBB does not provide statically linkable libraries, for the reasons explained in the forum thread you referenced, and also in this FAQ answer.
