[Trilinos-Users] [EXTERNAL] static vs shared

[Bill Spotz]

Hi Dave,

The PyTrilinos package requires shared, and so I build with it all the time.  I am not aware of any performance hits.

You may, however, run into build bugs, because certain packages never test against a shared build, and under this scenario you can run into undefined symbol errors.  If you go down this path and run into such errors, please report them.
